I went through guideless ^ and was able to define the unit price via the user interface. Now, I want to download these data via REST API. Is it accessible there? Precisely,  is a price per unit (unit_price and unit_price_measurement) exposed via REST API or GraphQL? I can't see it as a variant property.

Hey @tipserstore , 

At the moment this field is not accessible via the API. However, it is also very new, so that's not to say that it never will be available - but there isn't any timeline at the moment or concrete plans to do so.

Hi from Germany,

is there any update on this field? We setup our new online shop and need to adjust the unit price for our wholesale clients. We need to run two shops in one: B2C and B2B. This is practically possible with Apps like Wholesale gorilla or Bold. But both aren’t able to change the unit prices, in our case /kg. But we need to show different prices for B2B clients. Is there any solution for us from shopify or via an third party app? Thanks for help!

Hello!

Is there any update on this - when would it be possible to read/write this `unit_price` and `unit_price_measurement` data via the Shopify REST API or GraphQL?

Thanks so much!

Hi @tipserstore , do you have any update on making these fields available through the APIs ?

This is really crucial information for all stores in Europe (particularly Germany and France, where the feature has been thankfully rolled out on the user interface).

However, in order to safely maintain the data we need these fields to be accessible via API.

Also, it would be tremendously helpful if the values could be carried over to the Google Shopping App's unit price fields whenever there is a change in Shopify (either through the user interface or via the API). Is that something that is aimed to come anytime soon ?

Thank you & Best Regards

Fabian

Why would this feature be exclusive to France and Germany? Unit price has been in demand since DAY 1 of Shopify, in every part of the world? Curious about this. Never heard a peep about it finally being a thing. Anyone at Shopify ever produce a blog article on this and what it came from, how it works etc?

Hi @Josh , do you have any news regarding this topic?

Thanks

Hi @Josh , also anxiously waiting for this to be added to the API accesible fields.

@all lets make some noise here to show that it's not only a select few who need this feature.

Thanks & Regards

need it urgently!!

Not sure if it would help anyone but my app helps fabric stores sell in fractional increments. For example allowing a customer to purchase 1.75 yards or meters of fabric.

I have a few requests for kg or g but its not many, shoot me an email at James@SewMuchCommerce.com with your specific issues/needs and I'll see what I can do.

[HunkyBill]

That is cool and all, but for sure this is a situation where one should strive to have this be 0% App and 100% built into Shopify, using nothing more than Liquid and Javascript. Now that it is established that unit prices are supported in at least a few countries too, that is for certain something that could be rolled out to everyone. As usual, the trickiest part of the equation remains tiered pricing where the more you buy, the cheaper it gets, or, for some industries anyway, the dimensions affect price in ways that are not so easy to pull off. It remains true though, that even in those cases one can easily capture dimensions, and alter pricing, and ultimately get orders flowing, without using external App code.

Hello, I also need this feature urgently or possibility to set unit prices via csv upload.

[jurek]

I am new to Shopify opening a online grocery store (in germany). So the feature is available but not accessable via the API.
I have a few thousand products so doing it manually is not an option. This feature is kind of crutial to migrate from WooCommerce to Shopify.
So API accessability of unitPriceMeasurement pls!

There are some duplicates of this question actually:

[Benja]

II am a noob and have lost days trying to find a solution. Is manual update the only option? No CSV import? I need to update 5000 + SKUs regularly. Please help.
Should I migrate to Woocommerce? I need to find a solution fast.

@Josh Could you please give us an update on this? The feature seems to be urgently needed by some users.

[Hißlinger]

Yes, we also need this urgently ;-´(

Hey Folks!

If you are not a German or French store and you need the Unit_Price Feature activated in your store we can activate that manually in the backend.

Simply let us know here or send us a ticket asking for the feature to be activated in the backend and we can do that.

Best,

[EYOND]

@Gabe this feature is already enabled in our shopify admin area. However, we need this fields to be adjustable via the API.

[Hißlinger]

Yes, please make this accessible via the REST API.

Currently it can only be set manually and with over 5,000 items at our site this is simply a disaster as this is a legal requirement in Germany. 😣

[simonhaenisch]

I'm maintaining an app and we also need to be able to retrieve `unit_price` and `unit_price_measurement` for each variant from the Admin REST API, specifically the `GET products.json` endpoint. It's a legal requirement in Germany to provide these for certain types of products.

It would be great if this was at least added to the Product API response, which is a backwards-compatible change. Being able to set this via the API also seems important for shop owners however is not a priority in our use case.
