WooCommerce: Display Selected Variation Info (price, weight, etc.) @ Single Product Page

We already saw how to get the “Variation ID” from the single product page once product attributes dropdown are selected. In that tutorial, we ran a jQuery “change” event once “input.variation_id” got updated.

However, that only gives us access to the variation ID. What if I need to read the variation price, stock quantity, SKU, weight, and so on? Well, in such case, we need different code. Enjoy!

PHP/jQuery Snippet: Get Currently Selected Variation Info @ WooCommerce Single Product Page

In this case studio, we will print the variation price (price_html) in a custom DIV right below the add to cart button. Of course, you can show the info in a JavaScript alert instead or do anything else you like with it.

We will target the custom WooCommerce jQuery event called “found_variation”, which of course triggers once a variation is currently selected.

After the snippet, you find a list of data keys you can use instead of “price_html” in order to get other variation info.

add_action( 'woocommerce_after_add_to_cart_form', 'bbloomer_echo_variation_info' );

function bbloomer_echo_variation_info() {
	global $product;
	if ( ! $product->is_type( 'variable' ) ) return;
	echo '<div class="var_info"></div>';
   wc_enqueue_js( "
		$(document).on('found_variation', 'form.cart', function( event, variation ) {	
			$('.var_info').html(variation.price_html); // SIMPLY CHANGE price_html INTO ONE OF THE KEYS BELOW       
		});
	" );
}

As I mentioned earlier, if you need other info rather than “price_html”, here’s the list of data keys you can use instead.

'attributes'
'availability_html'
'backorders_allowed'
'dimensions'
'dimensions_html'
'display_price'
'display_regular_price'
'image'
'image_id'
'is_downloadable'
'is_in_stock'
'is_purchasable'
'is_sold_individually'
'is_virtual'
'max_qty'
'min_qty'
'price_html'
'sku' 
'variation_description'
'variation_id'
'variation_is_active'
'variation_is_visible'
'weight'
'weight_html'

In the snippet, simply change:

.html(variation.price_html);

into e.g.:

.html(variation.dimensions_html);

Where to add custom code?

You should place custom PHP in functions.php and custom CSS in style.css of your child theme: where to place WooCommerce customization?

This code still works, unless you report otherwise. To exclude conflicts, temporarily switch to the Storefront theme, disable all plugins except WooCommerce, and test the snippet again: WooCommerce troubleshooting 101
