How to set an attachment for the sample product?
The Product Sample for WooCommerce Plugin lets you easily attach custom files to your sample products. This works for both simple and variable products.
For example, if you sell skincare products, you could attach a usage guide to sample orders. The attachment will be emailed and available in the customer’s account. This can help customers understand the product's benefits, increasing their chances of purchasing the full-size version or original products.
File Formats and Upload Limitations:
The plugin allows you to upload attachments directly from your WordPress media library. The supported file types and maximum upload size will depend on your website's settings and hosting environment, giving you the flexibility to upload various file formats.
Steps to set an attachment:
- Add new or Edit any simple or variable product.
- Click on the "Sample Product" tab.
In this tab, you’ll find the option "Sample Attachment." When enabled, you can upload your attachment file.

A few Business Use Cases Examples:
Skincare Business:
A skincare company can attach a PDF file with usage instructions and product benefits to each sample order. This helps customers understand the correct usage and ingredients, increasing the likelihood of purchasing full-size products.
Furniture Store:
A furniture retailer could attach a product catalog or installation guide to sample products. This provides customers with detailed information about matching items or assembly instructions, encouraging them to consider larger purchases.
Nutrition and Supplements:
A nutrition brand might include a DOCX file containing diet plans or usage recommendations for sample supplements. This gives customers insight into how the product can fit into their lifestyle, boosting confidence in buying the full version.
