Issue: A merchant selling beds wants a collection for “Adjustable Bases,” but Shopify shows the collection’s “From” price using the lowest-priced variant. Because each product has two base variants and the lower price is misleading, this poses legal risk. Converting variants into separate products didn’t solve showing the correct variant price in the collection.
Key terms: “Collection” = product grouping; “Variant” = a product option (two base types). “From” price = the minimum variant price shown on collection cards.
Proposed solutions:
Create separate collections for each adjustable-base variant type.
Use a price filter app to include only items within a target price range.
Customize the collection template to show the highest variant price or a price range (requires theme code edits).
Use a product-variant app to control how prices (highest/range) are displayed.
I’m working on a website selling beds and am wanting to set up a collection for “Adjustable Bases”. These are all set as two variants (there are two types of Adjustable bases) within a large number of products.
The problem is that when I set up the Collection, it uses the “From” price based on the lowest priced variant. These variants are a lot higher and if the wrong price is displayed could cause major legal issues.
I know I can create products from variants, but I still can’t setup a Collection that uses the correct “From” price of the applicable product variant.
I hope this makes sense - happy to clarify or answer any questions and appreciate any assistance with this.
I understand your issue. You want to create a collection of adjustable bases but are facing difficulties with the “From” price being set based on the lowest priced variant. This can lead to legal issues if the incorrect price is displayed.
Here are some my potential suggested solutions you can explore:
1. Create Separate Collections for Each Variant:
Create two separate collections, one for each type of adjustable base. This will ensure that the “From” price displayed for each collection is accurate.
2. Use a Price Filter App:
Consider using a price filter app to filter products based on their price range. This can help you create a collection that only includes products within a specific price range, ensuring that the “From” price is accurate.
3. Customize the Collection Template:
If you can access your theme’s code, you can customize the collection template to display the “From” price based on the highest priced variant. This will require some technical knowledge, but it can provide a more accurate representation of the price range.
4. Use a Product Variant App:
Explore product variant apps that offer more customization options for displaying product information, including price. These apps may allow you to set the “From” price based on the highest-priced variant or even display a range of prices.
5. Manually Adjust the “From” Price:
While this is a less ideal solution, you can manually adjust the “From” price for each collection to ensure it reflects the correct price range. However, this can be time-consuming and may require frequent updates.
By carefully considering these options and implementing the most suitable solution for your specific needs, you can effectively address the issue of the “From” price being set based on the lowest-priced variant and ensure that your adjustable base collection accurately represents the pricing information for your customers.
