Variable Products Improvement

In a single product we have the option “not for sale” that disable a single product in Register or Sales Pages.

Currently, we cannot disable a particular variation as “not for sale”. (just the entire product and all variations)

In a retail shop. Variations of products may change all the time. Suppliers may add new variations to test market, customer acceptance or even remove some variations that had poor market performance.

Sometimes, a product can even been created as a single product and later on suppliers started to produce variations of the initial single product.  And currently, it’s not possible to add a variation or convert a single product into a variable one in such cases.

We need to create a whole new product for such situations and deactivate old ones.

It doesn’t look a big deal at the beginning but if you have been working with synced with Woocommerce or any sort of online catalog. You’re going to lose Google page ranking of the product you have deactivated and that turns into an extra workaround about that, redirecting, changing URLs to avoid.
