Replace the Variable Price range by the chosen variation price in WooCommerce 4+


Update (December 2017): to avoid, Problems regarding non variable products in some themes and a repetition availability bug in some themes

Note: Some plugins like the German Market or some themes will not work with this code, as they make their own changes in the hooks or in the html structure.

This is completely possible.

  1. First we remove the unwanted price.
  2. We output instead the variable price without the price range and show the lowest price.
  3. We make a copy of this variable price in a hidden container (to be used/read by our jQuery script)
  4. Then we hide the containers of chosen variation price (and the stock availability)
  5. With the help of our jQuery script, when we get the chosen variation price, we replace the variable price (and display the stock availability).
  6. If the customer change of variation we update the price... If the variation price is not displayed during that change process, our variable price is displayed

Here is that code:

add_action( 'woocommerce_before_single_product', 'move_variations_single_price', 1 );
function move_variations_single_price(){
    global $product, $post;

    if ( $product->is_type( 'variable' ) ) {
        // removing the variations price for variable products
        remove_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_template_single_price', 10 );

        // Change location and inserting back the variations price
        add_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'replace_variation_single_price', 10 );
    }
}

function replace_variation_single_price(){
    global $product;

    // Main Price
    $prices = array( $product->get_variation_price( 'min', true ), $product->get_variation_price( 'max', true ) );
    $price = $prices[0] !== $prices[1] ? sprintf( __( 'From: %1$s', 'woocommerce' ), wc_price( $prices[0] ) ) : wc_price( $prices[0] );

    // Sale Price
    $prices = array( $product->get_variation_regular_price( 'min', true ), $product->get_variation_regular_price( 'max', true ) );
    sort( $prices );
    $saleprice = $prices[0] !== $prices[1] ? sprintf( __( 'From: %1$s', 'woocommerce' ), wc_price( $prices[0] ) ) : wc_price( $prices[0] );

    if ( $price !== $saleprice && $product->is_on_sale() ) {
        $price = '<del>' . $saleprice . $product->get_price_suffix() . '</del> <ins>' . $price . $product->get_price_suffix() . '</ins>';
    }

    ?>
    <style>
        div.woocommerce-variation-price,
        div.woocommerce-variation-availability,
        div.hidden-variable-price {
            height: 0px !important;
            overflow:hidden;
            position:relative;
            line-height: 0px !important;
            font-size: 0% !important;
        }
    </style>
    <script>
    jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
        $('select').blur( function(){
            if( '' != $('input.variation_id').val() ){
                if($('p.availability'))
                    $('p.availability').remove();
                $('p.price').html($('div.woocommerce-variation-price > span.price').html()).append('<p class="availability">'+$('div.woocommerce-variation-availability').html()+'</p>');
                console.log($('input.variation_id').val());
            } else {
                $('p.price').html($('div.hidden-variable-price').html());
                if($('p.availability'))
                    $('p.availability').remove();
                console.log('NULL');
            }
        });
    });
    </script>
    <?php

    echo '<p class="price">'.$price.'</p>
    <div class="hidden-variable-price" >'.$price.'</div>';
}

Code goes in any php file of your active child theme (or theme) or also in any plugin php file.

This code is tested and works on WooCommerce 3.2.x (should work on WooCommerce 2.6.x too)

You can optionally move the CSS (<style></style>) to the styles.css file of your active child theme (or active theme) and then remove it from this function…

  • Move the variation price location in WooCommerce

Late to the party but I was looking for a more dynamic/universal solution and less code so I adjusted the answer to the following.

The price is updated based on the variation-form triggers so the styling and original HTML is maintained.

add_action( 'woocommerce_before_single_product', 'move_variations_single_price', 1 );
function move_variations_single_price(){
  global $product, $post;
  if ( $product->is_type( 'variable' ) ) {
    add_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'replace_variation_single_price', 10 );
  }
}

function replace_variation_single_price() {
  ?>
    <style>
      .woocommerce-variation-price {
        display: none;
      }
    </style>
    <script>
      jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
        var priceselector = '.product p.price';
        var originalprice = $(priceselector).html();

        $( document ).on('show_variation', function() {
          $(priceselector).html($('.single_variation .woocommerce-variation-price').html());
        });
        $( document ).on('hide_variation', function() {
          $(priceselector).html(originalprice);
        });
      });
    </script>
  <?php
}

Successfully tested with v4.0.1. As long as themes/plugins don't change the markup it should work. If not you can easily change the priceselector accordingly.
