Hi, I would like to buy WPC Force Sells PRO for a customer of mine, but I'm not sure if it can solve my problem.
I have one product (summer camp) with three length variations: 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks.
I need to foce sell the public transport tickets and the cost varies on the length, of course, so was thinking I needed to make 3 products "public transport 2 weeks" "public transport 3 weeks" "public transport 4 weeks", but I realised that in the free version I can see that you can only assign one force sell product to one product, not to one product variation, so I was guessing if this is going to change in the pro version.
For your information, the Force Sells as well as Bought Together products are attached/associated with the main parent product, not to the variations. So it won't differentiate the Force Sells based on the choice of variation in the main product.
There's a workaround for your case is to use WPC Force Sells combining with WPC Linked Variation plugin.
First you create 3 simple products: Summer Camp 2-week, 3-week, 4-week
Then you add the Force Sells to each of them in the Force Sells tab.
Next, create a common attribute under Products >> Attributes (the default attribute will work, not the custom attribute in the Attributes tab of each single product page). For example, I use the Duration as the common attribute, specify 3 terms: 2-week, 3-week, 4-week.
Then configure the attribute and only 1 term for each Summer Camp product above based on the duration.
Go to Linked Variations under WPClever menu >> Add new, add 3 products, put a check on the Duration attribute and Publish.
Now, when you check back on the single product page of these products, you will see there are buttons for customers to choose a duration. Each button will open the right combination of main product and Force Sells for them to add to the cart. They will appear just as variation of the same variable product, but stay as separate products in the backend admin dashboard.
That will do the trick.
With the WPC Linked Variation, you can link any product type, even special product types such as Smart Bundles/Grouped/Composite together and make them appear as variations of the same variable products by using common attributes & distinctive terms for each.
If you would like to keep the price range on the starting price under product title, you can go to the plugin setting under WPClever >> Force Sells then choose No for the Change price option. Then the Force Sells price won't be added to the main price on top:
However, this also disable the price changing feature, so when you change the quantity of selection of FS items, that price on top won't change at all.

I hope I explained myself 😅

Hi Janilyn,
thank you for the workaround.
I have another question now.
Before I make the selection the price of the product shows only the price of the force sells product.
Instead, I would like the price shown to remain the same as usual before making a selection, i.e. the range of prices of the different variations.
How do I achieve that?
Thank you
Veronica
