How does one change the unit pricing structure? For example, we are offering laundry and it’s only offering metric and imperial units. I’ve gotten it down to a “XX/15g” unit pricing but I need to change the “15g” to “load” so it’s more like “$XX/load”. How does one do that? For example:
Topic summary
A user needs to modify Shopify’s unit pricing display for laundry products, changing from weight-based measurements (e.g., “$/15g”) to “$/load” format.
Technical Solution Provided:
- Requires editing the
unit_price_measurementLiquid object in the theme code - The relevant code is typically found in product sections or price snippets
- Documentation reference: https://shopify.dev/docs/api/liquid/objects/unit_price_measurement
Implementation Notes:
- Similar modifications needed for the cart page
- For multi-language stores, avoid hardcoding “load” text directly
- Users unfamiliar with HTML and Liquid may want to hire a developer

Hi there,
You’re going to have to dive into the code for this one. Basically, what you’re trying to edit is related to the unit_price_measurement object, here is the doc : https://shopify.dev/docs/api/liquid/objects/unit_price_measurement
Depending on your theme, it could be in a section or in a price snippet, and it may look like that:
{% if variant.unit_price_measurement %}
{{ variant.unit_price | money }}
{% if variant.unit_price_measurement.reference_value != 1 %}
{{ variant.unit_price_measurement.reference_value }}
{% endif %}
{{ variant.unit_price_measurement.reference_unit }}
{% endif %}
and you’d have to edit it to something like that:
{% if variant.unit_price_measurement %}
{{ variant.unit_price | money }}/load
{% endif %}
If you’re supporting multiple languages, then you should not “hard code” the “load” text as I did for the purpose of this example (it’s off topic, just to keep in mind though). You’d also have to do a similar operation in the cart page. If you’re not famililar with html and liquid, it might be best to hire a dev.
