Custom Shopify development, optimization and technical solutions. Worked with 100+ Shopify stores, 10+ Shopify Plus stores.
Want to show product prices per unit (g, ml, ft, etc.)? This feature is now available to all Shopify stores: You can set up unit pricing for your products. This was initially only possible for stores in Germany and France. Then became available to more European countries. And now it's available to every Shopify store. Important: This doesn't mean you can have calculated prices. You still can't let the customer input any measurement, e.g. between 0 and 2000mm. That would require 2000 variants - not yet available. Instead: Unit pricing is only for display purposes. (In some cases it's a legal requirement.) Prices of products will appear like this: $7 $10.00 / kg They're shown almost everywhere: - Product page - Collection and search - Cart and checkout - Emails How to set it up? On the admin product or variant page, click Unit price. On the "Total amount" field, input how much of what unit the product is. E.g. if you're selling a steak that's 700g, you'll input "700" and "g". On the "Base measure" field, input the right side of the pricing. Typically you'll input "1" and then the unit you want to show, e.g. "kg". You can even use "item" to show something like: $3 / each This is a very useful feature. Because previously, you had to rely on custom code. Which also usually needed a metafield for the unit data. Note: Ensure your theme supports it. If it doesn't, it may not be an official theme - my advice is to only choose official themes, free or paid. #shopify #shopifyplus #ecommerce
Excellent update! We’ve had to code this manually for international stores before having native unit pricing now saves time and keeps pricing consistent across pages.
That was a major request of stores selling custom or manufactured goods
Much needed feature...I hope it is easier to implement now .. Because in the past, even for the German clients, it was hard to set up
Unit pricing will make Shopify stores more transparent and compliant, especially for EU sellers. Clear, standardized pricing like “$10.00 / kg” builds trust and helps customers compare products more easily.
