Access unit_price and unit_price_measurement via REST API

Hi,

Martin from Feed Donkey app

Why is this thread set as solved? As far as I can see it isnt & remains a big problem for anybody who relies on the REST API and is trying to provide a full data service to DE and FR merchants

We fall into this category too & want to make sure that this limitation is eventually addressed

I understand there is always a dev queue, but also think the complexity argument is being way over-exagerrated here, this should have been solved a long time ago

Best regards

Martin

Hi, thanks but I don’t think that’s something that solves it in our case.

The only way that we can access customers product data is through the
permission scope granted on install

Any requirement for non native code isn’t going to work as far as I can’t
see

Best

We have the same issue. Is there a way to upvote the urgency of this feature?

Solving it with metafields seems like a nasty workaround :disappointed_face:

“In den nächsten Monaten …”
Bis dahin sind verzweifelte bisherige Shopify Anwender zu Woocommerce usw. gewechselt. Das kann ja nun nicht das Ziel von Shopify sein.
Bin zwar verzweifelt, da ich ßber 2000 Produkte händisch ändern muss und dabei gewiss eine abmahnfähige Fehlerquote entsteht, aber noch habe ich Hoffnung. Vor allem weil der Grßnder von Shopify ja ein Deutscher ist und sich der rechtlichen Brisanz durchaus bewusst sein sollte.

Any news on this topic?

The last official shopify-post from gabe is already 4 month old.

I was hoping that the “shopify editions summer 2022” would bring news about this topic, but unfortunately there was none.

Find it very strange, that it took for a 3 year old feature so long to put it in the rest-api and graphql-api…

Hi,

I’m right now into creating a new shop with 300 products where unit price is manadatory. I helped myself with metafields but right now I am really frustrated with shopify at all. I know it’s my fault I did not consider such a basic feature upfront. But there are so many details where something is missing. And then I read such things it’s too hard to implement. I’m almost thinking about leaving this platform before opening the shop.

Why not spell it out than? If you have a workable solution to this, just say it in a few sentences. This is a community after all, not a walled garden. It is expected that people share here, not hoard.

The basic approach to the solution is to add custom code to the product page template to use fields that can be set via the API (weight & price), to calculate the base unit price.

Hi @Josh , hi @Gabe ,
I’ve read the entire thread, and it seems that this issue hasn’t been solved yet. Is there any update on this topic? It’s been a few months now, and I believe it’s still a priority for everyone in this channel!
Thank you!

Hey Folks!

Not much to report from the developers currently, as the Unit Price is still in beta status. In case it helps, you can now upload unit prices in bulk via csv using the Price per Unit App. I’ve attached a template csv file from the app.

How can such a simple feature be in beta status for 3 years already??? (many more comments I want to add but i better keep quiet)

Sadly, it looks after 3 years that Shopify has little interest in this feature to implement clean in all APIs. Probably because it is only limited to Germany and France.

We`re pretty new to Shopify and currently in the final steps in migrating from our old shopware shop.

So far there were a naturally few obstacles but whats going with the price per unit (or not going on) is beyond everything.

I hope we will never need another feature for legal reasons in time.

this is an important feature for me too

Do you think in the feature there will be an option to also sell items by unit. Like selling meat/fruits by the LB for example?
