I already know how to create configurable products by following the instructions from here and it works but my question is, is it possible to just add 1 configurable attribute and add it to all product pages instead of creating multiple products for 1 configurable product? It might be tedious if there are a lot of options for 1 product.
You can use a simple product with custom options!

This is a very similar question to this:
Preselect configurable product options by simple product URL
But the important part of the answer just points to a dead link.
There are a million pages that explain how to get the configurable product from the simple product, but not the configurable product with the options set to what would produce the simple product.
I need this for a couple areas. First, there's a section of the site that will programatically add the product to the cart based on SKU. It finds the simple product via SKU, and I can get its parent product, but I can't add that to the cart with the options that will point it to the simple product.
Secondly, I need the link that's generated for the simple product to show the page for it's configurable product, with the appropriate options selected since we're generating links for an external service that gets the links to all the simple product pages which are currently disabled.
I've looked everywhere but can't find how to get the configurable product options selected.
Hi we are using magento for a wholesale site, in which every product can be ordered in two ways:
1)carton(small-box)
2)Pallet(larger-one)
Now as per magento rules we achieved the same by creating a bundle product for each product, but in doing so we need to add 3-products for a single product, also the SKU is actually the same for all!
Is there any better solution to this other than bundle?
I tried with the configurable option too, but same problem of adding 3-products for a single product.
Thanks.
Creating a bundle product is the correct way to deal with this. In your case, the carton and the pallet are two separate products (from Magento's point of view).
How I can make my magento product page look like this?

With selecting color,size, and then products quantity.
This can be done through configurable products.
Step 1- Create different products for each size and color.
Step 2- Create one configurable product, and associate the above created products into it.
Here is tutoral how to create configurable product.

Just posted the same answer to your previous question. This is the simple and best way to do this.
I am working on a Magento project and I need to know if there is a way to make a product's options independent to each other or unrequired. I need to use one of several at a time (I have 6 dropdowns).
I have tried add to cart by query string but all dropdown values were still required. I also tried to make all the options default, then modify the selected options in the observer, but I did not meet with success. See the screenshot below for more details.
Any help will be appreciated

Configurable Products in Magneto are only parent products of Simple Products. Whatever you have as an attribute of a Configurable - a Simple Product has to be present for each. To do this out of the box in Magento, you should be looking into setting up a Simple Product with Custom Options.
i wish to add qty to the each size in magento simple product, here, i have configured size in custom option as it doesn't have the option to add qty.

What are you trying to achieve is not achievable with simple product.
You should use configurable product instead.
You can read about configurable products here, for example.
