wordpress - woocommerce: add value to a product attribute

Question

How do I add value to a woocommerce attribute through code? I have created an attribute called 'Dispatch time' (taxonomy: pa_dispatch) and now I want to add value to a particular product's Dispatch attribute.

How to do this programmatically?

Answer 1

I found the answer, you need to use wp_set_object_terms to set the terms of object of a taxonomy,

wp_set_object_terms( $object_id, $terms, $taxonomy, $append);

Where, $append can be true or false, if true, the tag will be appended to existing tag, if false, the tag is replaced.

In my example,

wp_set_object_terms( $object_id, '2 Business Days', 'pa_dispatch' , false);

Here, the pa_dispatch is the woo-commerce taxonomy.
