Using Keywords as Prices

WooCommerce will automatically hide Keywords from the Regular and Sale Price fields in the Content Group, due to them being non-numeric values.  However, the Keyword has been saved as the value for these fields.

To use Keywords as Prices, you must perform the following precise steps in order:

1. Configure entire Content Group as required, excluding Regular and Sale Price
2. Save Content Group
3. Define Regular and/or Sale Price field values using Keywords as necessary
   

   

4. Save Content Group.  Regular and/or Sale Price fields will be blank, due to WooCommerce automatically hiding non-numeric values.  The underlying Keyword value has been saved.
   

   

5. Navigate to Page Generator Pro > Generate Content
   

   

6. Click Generate via Browser for the applicable Content Group
   

   

The generated WooCommerce Products will contain the applicable price(s):

If you subsequently make any edits to the Content Group, you must repeat the above process again.

Generate

Refer to the Generate: Run and Actions Documentation, which will then generate the products from this Content Group.
