Mix and Match Products for WooCommerce is a plugin that allows you to create customized product bundles or "mix-and-match" sets for your WooCommerce store. It lets customers select multiple items to create their own bundle, typically at a discounted price, which increases flexibility and promotes sales.
Here’s an overview of Mix and Match Products for WooCommerce:
Key Features of Mix and Match Products for WooCommerce:
- Create Custom Bundles:
- With this plugin, store owners can offer customers the ability to create their own product bundles from a set of available items. For example, a customer could choose different flavors of jam to create their own bundle or select various colors of t-shirts.
- Flexible Pricing Options:
- You can set a fixed price for the bundle, or offer a discount based on the number of items the customer selects. For example, selecting 5 items might cost $50, but selecting 10 items could cost $80, allowing you to offer volume discounts.
- Product Limits:
- Set a minimum and maximum number of items that can be added to the mix-and-match bundle. This ensures customers select a certain number of products while providing flexibility for larger bundles.
- Bundle Product Visibility:
- You can choose which individual products are available for bundling. The plugin allows you to display specific products (e.g., only certain flavors, sizes, or categories) in the mix-and-match options.
- Advanced Display Options:
- Customize how the products are displayed on the product page, including showing images, names, descriptions, and prices. This can help guide customers in creating their perfect bundle.
- Easy Management:
- The plugin is simple to use, with intuitive settings for managing the bundles from the WooCommerce product screen. You can easily manage inventory and set options for each mix-and-match product.
- Customizable Layout:
- The layout of the product selection can be customized using various settings like grid layout, list layout, or popup view. This allows you to match the plugin's look with the design of your website.
- Inventory Control:
- Keep track of the stock for individual items within the mix-and-match product. For instance, if a specific product in the bundle runs out of stock, the option will be removed from the available selection.
- Discounts and Offers:
- You can offer specific discounts or pricing options for mix-and-match bundles. This feature is perfect for creating sales promotions, like “Buy 2, get 1 free” or offering bundled pricing that incentivizes customers to purchase more.

- Providing customers the freedom to create their own bundles enhances their shopping experience. They can personalize their purchases, which increases customer satisfaction and could lead to higher sales.
