WooCommerce: Variable Product “Cumulative” Stock Quantity

When a variable product stock quantity is managed at variation level, the stock status is either “In stock” or “Out of stock” without any mention of the quantity.

It would be cool, however, and in certain cases only, to show the total stock quantity for all single variations. If variation Red has 3 in stock, variation Blue has 7 in stock and variation Cyan has 10 in stock, I’d like to set the “parent product” stock quantity to 3 + 7 + 10 = 20.

So, how do we do that?

This variable product has stock quantity = 13, because its two variations have stock = 3 and stock = 10 respectively!

// CALCULATE CUMULATIVE STOCK

function bbloomer_cumulative_stock_variations( $product ) {
    if ( $product->get_type() == 'variable' && ! $product->get_manage_stock() ) {
		$cumulative_stock = 0;
        foreach ( $product->get_available_variations() as $key ) {
            $variation = wc_get_product( $key['variation_id'] );
            $cumulative_stock += $variation->get_stock_quantity() ? $variation->get_stock_quantity() : 0;
        }
    }
	return $cumulative_stock;
}

// SET VARIABLE PRODUCT STOCK QUANTITY

add_filter( 'woocommerce_get_stock_html', 'bbloomer_variable_product_cumulative_stock', 9999, 2 );

function bbloomer_variable_product_cumulative_stock( $html, $product ) {
	$availability = $product->get_availability();
	if ( $product->get_type() == 'variable' && empty( $availability['availability'] ) ) {
		ob_start();
		wc_get_template(
			'single-product/stock.php',
			array(
				'product' => $product,
				'class' => bbloomer_cumulative_stock_variations( $product ) > 0 ? 'in-stock' : 'out-of-stock',
				'availability' => sprintf( __( '%s in stock', 'woocommerce' ), bbloomer_cumulative_stock_variations( $product ) ),
			)
		);
		return ob_get_clean();
	}
	return $html;
}

// SHOW STOCK @ SINGLE VARIABLE PRODUCT PAGE

add_action( 'woocommerce_before_add_to_cart_form', 'bbloomer_stock_for_variable_products' );

function bbloomer_stock_for_variable_products() {
	global $product;
	$availability = $product->get_availability();
	if ( $product->get_type() == 'variable' && empty( $availability['availability'] ) ) {
		echo wc_get_stock_html( $product );
	}
}

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
