I recently had a support chat about having the option to set custom prices for variable products with a bulk action like woocommerce has and i wanted to share my solution:

You can add code via plugin or in the functions.php file of a child theme to add the functionality in 2 steps.
First step is to add an action for the extra options to the "Bulk actions" dropdown (in my example with Euros). There are two options, one for the regular price and one for the sale price:

add_action( 'woocommerce_variable_product_bulk_edit_actions', 'set_euro_price_bulk_edit_variation', 10 );

function set_euro_price_bulk_edit_variation() {
?>
<optgroup label="Euro Price">
<option value="set_regular_euro_price">Set regular price</option>
<option value="set_sale_euro_price">Set sale price</option>
</optgroup>
<script>
jQuery( function(){
jQuery( 'select.variation_actions' ).on( 'set_regular_euro_price_ajax_data', function(e, data) {
var value = window.prompt( "enter regular price" );

if ( value !== null ) {
data.value = value;
return data;
} else {
return;
}
});
jQuery( 'select.variation_actions' ).on( 'set_sale_euro_price_ajax_data', function(e, data) {
var value = window.prompt( "enter sale price" );

if ( value !== null ) {
data.value = value;
return data;
} else {
return;
}
});
});
</script>
<?php
}

This includes a script to collect the price values via JS prompt.

The second step is to add an action to process the data afterwards which is just editing post meta:

add_action( 'woocommerce_bulk_edit_variations', 'set_euro_price_bulk_save', 10, 4 );

function set_euro_price_bulk_save( $bulk_action, $data, $product_id, $variations ) {
if( in_array( $bulk_action, [ 'set_regular_euro_price' ] ) ) {
if( isset( $data['value'] ) ) {
foreach( $variations as $variation_id ) {
// Update post meta will not update if variation_id exists, thus no check is necessary
// Else use if ( $variation = wc_get_product( $variation_id ) )
update_post_meta( $variation_id, '_regular_price_EUR', esc_attr( $data['value'] ) );
update_post_meta( $variation_id, '_price_EUR', esc_attr( $data['value'] ) );
update_post_meta( $variation_id, '_wcml_custom_prices_status', '1' );
}

}
}
if( in_array( $bulk_action, [ 'set_sale_euro_price' ] ) ) {
if( isset( $data['value'] ) ) {
foreach( $variations as $variation_id ) {
// Update post meta will not update if variation_id exists, thus no check is necessary
// Else use if ( $variation = wc_get_product( $variation_id ) )
update_post_meta( $variation_id, '_sale_price_EUR', esc_attr( $data['value'] ) );
update_post_meta( $variation_id, '_wcml_custom_prices_status', '1' );
}

}
}
}

Hi,
I do not have a code button on my end (or any other formatting options), is there another way to do this?

Hello,

you can wrap it in code tags or just share Pastebin link and I will edit your reply and add it inside so other users can use it if needed.

All right, here's the code i use:

<?php
/* Add the Dropdown options to the product editor: */
add_action( 'woocommerce_variable_product_bulk_edit_actions', 'set_euro_price_bulk_edit_variation', 10 );

function set_euro_price_bulk_edit_variation() {
?>
<optgroup label="Euro price">
	<option value="set_regular_euro_price">set regular price</option>
	<option value="set_sale_euro_price">set sale price</option>
</optgroup>
<script>
	jQuery( function(){
		jQuery( 'select.variation_actions' ).on( 'set_regular_euro_price_ajax_data', function(e, data) {
			var value = window.prompt( "set regular price" );

            if ( value !== null ) {
                data.value = value;
                return data;
            } else {
                return;
            }
		});
		jQuery( 'select.variation_actions' ).on( 'set_sale_euro_price_ajax_data', function(e, data) {
			var value = window.prompt( "set sale price" );

            if ( value !== null ) {
                data.value = value;
                return data;
            } else {
                return;
            }
		});
	});
</script>
<?php
}

/* Processing the data added through the bulk action */
add_action( 'woocommerce_bulk_edit_variations', 'set_euro_price_bulk_save', 10, 4 );

function set_euro_price_bulk_save( $bulk_action, $data, $product_id, $variations ) {
	if( in_array( $bulk_action, [ 'set_regular_euro_price' ] ) ) {
		if( isset( $data['value'] ) ) {
			foreach( $variations as $variation_id ) {
				// Update post meta will not update if variation_id exists, thus no check is necessary
				// Else use if ( $variation = wc_get_product( $variation_id ) )
				update_post_meta( $variation_id, '_regular_price_EUR', esc_attr( $data['value'] ) );
				update_post_meta( $variation_id, '_price_EUR', esc_attr( $data['value'] ) );
				update_post_meta( $variation_id, '_wcml_custom_prices_status', '1' );
			}

		}
	}
	if( in_array( $bulk_action, [ 'set_sale_euro_price' ] ) ) {
		if( isset( $data['value'] ) ) {
			foreach( $variations as $variation_id ) {
				// Update post meta will not update if variation_id exists, thus no check is necessary
				// Else use if ( $variation = wc_get_product( $variation_id ) )
				update_post_meta( $variation_id, '_sale_price_EUR', esc_attr( $data['value'] ) );
				update_post_meta( $variation_id, '_wcml_custom_prices_status', '1' );
			}

		}
	}
}
?>
