We have a variable product and decided to included an add-on product using WPC Composite. When I changed it to Composite product type, I can't add its own variations as options. I see that there is a feature where I can select an Attribute as source - https://doc.wpclever.net/wooco/component-sources/#6-product-attribute. What I think is that this will not filter its own attributes but instead the products with the attribute selected. How can I have a selection of variations at the same time with add-on product using this WPC Composite Plugin?
The action you're trying to achieve is not possible.
For your information, special product types such as Smart Bundle/ Smart Grouped/ Smart Composite cannot be added to as part of any other product types. These special product types are equal and work individually.
These special product types only support simple product (marked "simple #..."), variable products (marked "variable #..."), variations (marked "variation #..."), and subscription products (marked "subscription #..."). as their sub-products inside.
You will need to add both that variable product and the add-on items to the smart composite in different components to make them work.
In case you would like to add extra products with the variable product as the main one, please use the WPC Frequently Bought Together or WPC Force Sells plugin to add other parts as extra options for the composite product.
These extra items will be displayed under the main bundled products/ grouped products/ component products on that product page.
NOTE: Both Bought Together and Force Sells items can be added to the same main product so that you can have both optional and required options in a single offer.
For more information, you can kindly refer to the online documentation of our plugins on this site: https://doc.wpclever.net/.
