compareAt price is null when using inContext argument

Retired Boards Appdev Custom Storefronts

Topic summary

A developer is experiencing an issue with the Shopfront API where the compareAtPrice field returns null when using the inContext argument with buyer identity.

Working scenario:

  • Standard product query without inContext successfully returns compareAtPrice.amount values

Failing scenario:

  • Same query with @inContext(buyer: $buyer) argument returns null for compareAtPrice.amount on identical products

The issue appears to be specific to the interaction between buyer context and compare-at pricing data. The developer has provided code snippets demonstrating both the working and non-working queries. No resolution or explanation has been provided yet.

I’m unable to get the compareAt price for products when using the buyer identity as the inContext argument using the Storefront API.

This returns a value for compareAtPrice.amount:

query Products {
  products(first: 5) {
    nodes {
      variants(first: 5) {
        nodes {
          compareAtPrice {
            amount
            currencyCode
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

This returns null for compareAtPrice.amount (for the same product):

query Products($buyer: BuyerInput) @inContext(buyer: $buyer) {
  products(first: 5) {
    nodes {
      variants(first: 5) {
        nodes {
          id
          compareAtPrice {
            amount
            currencyCode
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
