Displaying unit prices

Note

This guide is relevant only to merchants selling in France. If you are selling your products in France, but your business itself isn't based in France, then contact Shopify Support to have this feature activated.

If you sell products in quantities or measurements, then you might need to display the price per unit for certain products. When you enter a unit price for a product, the unit price is displayed on the product pages, collection pages, cart page, checkout pages, and order confirmation notifications.

Add unit prices to your product

Desktop

1. From your Shopify admin, go to Products.

2. Click the product that you want to edit.

3. Optional: If your product has variants, then in the Variants section, click the variant that you want to edit.

4. In the Pricing section, select Show unit price for this product.

5. In the Total product measurement field, enter in your product's total measurement, and then select the unit of measurement.

6. Optional: In the Base measure field, add your base measure, and then select the unit of measurement. For example, for a product weighing 1 kg, you might select a base unit of 100 g.

7. Click Save.

Display unit prices on your online store

All Online Store 2.0 themes have the unit price feature already available. No action is required to display unit prices on your online store.

If you have a vintage theme and aren't able to update it to a version that supports the unit price feature, then you can customize your theme code manually to display the unit price.

Caution

Back up your theme before you start editing the code. The following instructions are advanced. If you need help adding the feature to your theme, then you can consider getting help with customizations.

Display unit prices in your order notifications

By default, the order confirmation notification displays unit prices when the feature is active.

If you have added unit prices to your product, but your unit prices aren't appearing in your order confirmation notifications, then you might need to manually update your template.

Steps:

1. From your Shopify admin, go to Settings > Notifications.

2. In the Orders section, click Order confirmation.

3. Click Edit code.

4. Add the following snippet to the template within the "order-list__item-price" class:

{%- if line_item.unit_price_measurement -%}
  <div class="order-list__unit-price">
     {{ line_item.unit_price | money }}/
     {%- if line_item.unit_price_measurement.reference_value != 1 -%}
       {{- line_item.unit_price_measurement.reference_value -}}
     {%- endif -%}
     {{ line_item.unit_price_measurement.reference_unit }}
  </div>
{%- endif -%}

 5. Click Save.

Tip

Place a test order in your shop to confirm if the order notification is displaying the unit price.
