Dear Sir,
Good day to you!
I am reaching out for guidance on how to best manage a group of similar products on our website. Specifically, I have several two-leg chain slings that are nearly identical, with the only difference being the type of hook at the end.
Here are a few examples for your reference:
https://safeandsecureksa.com/product/2-two-double-leg-bridle-chain-sling-with-clevis-self-locking-hook/
https://safeandsecureksa.com/product/two-leg-bridle-chain-sling-with-clevis-sling-hooks/
https://safeandsecureksa.com/product/2-two-double-leg-bridle-chain-sling-with-swivel-sling-hook/
https://safeandsecureksa.com/product/2-two-double-leg-bridle-chain-sling-with-eye-self-locking-hook-2/
https://safeandsecureksa.com/product/two-leg-bridle-chain-sling-with-eye-sling-hook-with-safety-latch/
The core product (chain sling) is the same in all these listings, but the variation lies in the hook type. I initially attempted to manage them through the “Linked Variations” feature, but it seems it does not allow linking already-created products with variations. Alternatively, creating a single product with multiple attributes like hook type, diameter, and length results in a very complex structure that is difficult to manage and may overwhelm customers.
My main goals are:
To manage these product variations efficiently.
To avoid SEO issues such as duplicate content.
To maintain a clear and user-friendly experience for our customers.
Could you please advise the best approach to handle this type of product structure in XStore/WooCommerce? Your guidance would be highly appreciated.
Thank you.
