About Composite Products for WooCommerce 8.3.7

Composite Products for WooCommerce is a plugin by WooCommerce for selling products that customers assemble themselves. Each composite product is split into components, such as a case, a processor and a drive, and the shopper picks an option for each one before adding the whole to the cart.

People search for it as WooCommerce composite products. It suits computers, gift sets, furniture and other products made of parts, where a plain variable product would be unwieldy. The component options are normal WooCommerce products, so stock and prices stay in the catalogue you already use.

The page title and the listing text give two different version numbers. The file on record is version 8.3.7, released in January 2022. Test it with your current WordPress, PHP and WooCommerce versions on a staging site first.

Requirements

WooCommerce

Key features

Component-based products: A composite product is built from components, and each component offers a choice of products.
Uses existing WooCommerce products: Options are normal products, so inventory and pricing stay in WooCommerce.
Customer-built configurations: Shoppers choose an option for each component before the item goes to the cart.
Assembled kits and bundles: Suits build-your-own sets where the parts are chosen step by step.
Made by WooCommerce: The developer is listed as WooCommerce, so it is built around the standard shop.

Is it right for you?

A good fit for

Stores selling products assembled from chosen parts, like computers or gift sets
Shops that need step-by-step product building on top of normal WooCommerce stock

Look elsewhere if

Simple fixed bundles, where a plain bundle plugin is easier to set up
Sites without WooCommerce

Setup: using Composite Products for WooCommerce 8.3.7

Add a composite product. Create a new product and set its product type to Composite.

Common problems and fixes

A component shows no options on the product page

Why it happens: The products chosen for that component are out of stock, hidden or not published.
How to fix it: Publish the option products, restock them, and check they are selected in the component settings.

The composite product's price looks wrong

Why it happens: Component pricing and the composite's own price are set separately, and the two settings conflict.
How to fix it: Review the pricing settings on each component and on the composite product, then test with several combinations.

“The link you followed has expired.” when uploading

Why it happens: The zip is larger than your server's PHP upload limit (upload_max_filesize / post_max_size).
How to fix it: Raise the upload limit in your hosting control panel, or unzip the file and upload the folder to wp-content/plugins with your host's file manager or SFTP.

“The package could not be installed. No valid plugins were found.”

Why it happens: The uploaded zip is a bundle (or a theme), not the plugin itself.
How to fix it: Unzip the download once and upload the inner zip named after the plugin.

“Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.”

Why it happens: Usually a PHP version older than the plugin needs, or a second copy of the same plugin (for example the free version) still active.
How to fix it: Check your PHP version under Tools → Site Health → Info, deactivate any other copy of the plugin, and enable WP_DEBUG_LOG to see the exact error.

Licence or “updates unavailable” notices

Why it happens: The developer's licence key isn't included. Features that call the developer's servers (template libraries, cloud APIs, automatic updates) need it.
How to fix it: Everything that runs locally works without it. For a newer file, use Request an update from your account.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need WooCommerce?
