To update a product variant in Webflow using custom jQuery code, you can follow these steps:

  1. Identify the product variant you want to update: Start by knowing the specific product variant that you want to modify. Each variant is typically associated with a unique ID or selector.

  2. Add jQuery library: If you haven't already, make sure to include the jQuery library in your Webflow project. You can do this by adding the following code to your project's custom code section in the project settings:

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.6.0.min.js" integrity="sha384-KyjRoE7AsfsY99iluhSIc520EsEz14Amt86HDwHXOKjWw5NC5F4ND7ybu66kpwoh" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
  1. Write jQuery code: Once you have the product variant's ID or selector, you can use jQuery to update its properties. Here's an example code snippet that updates the price and availability of a variant:
$(document).ready(function() {  // Select the variant using its ID or selector  var variant = $('#variant-id');  // Update the price  variant.find('.product-price').text('$19.99');  // Update the availability  variant.find('.product-availability').text('In stock');});

In the example above, variant-id should be replaced with the actual ID or selector that corresponds to the variant you want to update. product-price and product-availability are classes that represent the elements within the variant section where the price and availability are displayed. You can modify these classes to match your own product variant structure.

  1. Trigger the code: You can trigger the jQuery code to update the variant in different ways. For example, you can call the code when a button is clicked, on page load, or when a specific event occurs. This depends on your specific use case and requirements.

By following these steps, you can update a product variant in Webflow using custom jQuery code hassle-free.
