I have seen the tutorials with product variations and FacetWP.

https://metabox.io/series/product-variations/
https://metabox.io/filter-posts-by-custom-fields-p2-facetwp/

But is it possible to use the product variation setup from the tutorials with facets? Either with FacetWP, a different facet plugin, or some custom code on top of FacetWP?

FacetWP appears to have a plugin to make faceted search work with WooCommerce product variants, but I'm hoping to do everything in Metabox without WooCommerce, if possible.

Hello Sean,

You can use the FacetWP to filter the post by custom fields created with Meta Box, but it works with the top field only. For the subfields in a group, the filter does not work. So for the product variation in the series https://metabox.io/series/product-variations/, it's not possible.

Please read more on the documentation https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/meta-box-group/

Hello Peter,

Thank you for the clarification. After thinking about this a little more, I might have a way to make everything work as a top-level product.
