Update all variations prices of a variable product in Woocommerce


I need to get all variation id and update price in loop. Simple query and loop looks like:

$params = array(
  ‘posts_per_page’ => -1,
  ‘post_type’ => ‘product_variation’,
  ‘post_parent’ => $product->get_id() // tried $post-ID
);
$variations = get_posts( $params );
foreach ( $variations as $variation ) {
  $variation_ID = $variation->ID; // tried $post-ID, $product->get_id()
  $regular_price=34;
  update_post_meta( $variation_ID, ‘_regular_price’, (float)$regular_price );
  update_post_meta( $variation_ID, ‘_price’, (float)$regular_price );
}

This doesn't seem to work:

(‘post_parent’ => $product->get_id()) 

Neither does this:

($variation_ID = $variation->ID;). 

Solution

  • First in your code or should be replaced by '. Also if used $post-ID should be replaced by $post->ID

    Depending on where and how you are using this code, you should try to include global $post; first to be able to use the WP_Post object $post.

    Then you could try to use this customized version of your code instead:

    global $post;
    
    $regular_price = 13;
    
    // Only for product post type
    if( $post->post_type == 'product' )
        $product = wc_get_product( $post->ID ); // An instance of the WC_Product object
    
    // Only for variable products
    if( $product->is_type('variable') ){
    
        foreach( $product->get_available_variations() as $variation_values ){
            $variation_id = $variation_values['variation_id']; // variation id
            // Updating active price and regular price
            update_post_meta( $variation_id, '_regular_price', $regular_price );
            update_post_meta( $variation_id, '_price', $regular_price );
            wc_delete_product_transients( $variation_id ); // Clear/refresh the variation cache
        }
        // Clear/refresh the variable product cache
        wc_delete_product_transients( $post->ID );
    }
    

    This code is tested on WooCommerce version 3+ and works
