Invalid floating point number in property "price"

[MANDUST23]

Looking for a web developer who can help me with my theme to edit some code to help with some invalid merchant listings.

Hi @MANDUST23

Please give me Collaborator request code of your store so I can check and help you to solve it.

[MANDUST23]

9260 - Thanks Dan!

The price property should not include the $ sign:

This is invalid:

## $21.95

This is fine:

## 21.95

Your current code in sections/product-template.liquid most probably looks similar to

## 
  {{ product.selected_or_first_available_variant.price | money }}

You can change it to

## 
  {{ product.selected_or_first_available_variant.price | money }}

Here I’ve moved microdata away from the ProductPrice element into hidden meta tag.

Your theme is old and microdata requirements has changed since it was last updated…

[MANDUST23]

Thanks, Tim.

I’ve been trying to find## $21.95
in my backend code but can’t!

Is it possible an updated theme would solve this issue or do I need to edit
the current code?

Is this something you could help me with?

Thanks,
Steve

of course theme code would have no $21.95 – there should be a variable to be replaced by the actual product price by shopify engine – so your marker would be id=“ProductPrice” or simply search for ProductPrice…

the code should look similar to what I’ve pasted above under *"*Your current code in sections/product-template.liquid most probably looks similar to" – not the variable reference inside {{ … }}.

Yes, current theme version will have it fixed, however, updating to current version would be a project since it may become complex.

Yes, I can help with the actual edit – account request is sent.

[MANDUST23]

Thanks, Tim.

Is all I can find on sections/product-template.liquid

I can imagine a theme update could be a larger task. I’m a little nervous to give access to my store, this is my first time asking for help. Can you walk me through how to do it? How to test it? I don’t want to sacrifice a large site breakdown for a small change…if you get what I’m saying?

[MANDUST23]

Thanks, Tim.

Just replied - as I am hesitant to give store access as a first timer
looking for help.

That being said, if you can walk me through this small coding edit, would
you be open to quoting me for upgrading mandust.ca to
https://themes.shopify.com/themes/palo-alto/styles/vibrant?locale=en&surface_detail=designers&surface_inter_position=1&surface_intra_position=2&surface_type=designers
?

Just tossing it out there, not sure what kind of work you are looking for.

Thanks,
Steve

Based on this screenshot I can see that the target piece of code is inside snippets/product-form.liquid

If you’re nervous, you can still give me access, but only to themes (as I would request anyway) and read-only – this way I’d be able to see the code, but not change it.

[MANDUST23]

Got it, think I’ve got it now! Thanks, Tim.

[tim_1]

Ok, so here is the wanted code from the snippets/product-form.liquid:

Not quite the same as I guessed above, but anyways.

This is what it needs to look like:

{% comment %}
    Prices
    {% endcomment %}
    ## 
        {% if current_variant.compare_at_price %}
            ~~{{ current_variant.compare_at_price | money }}~~
        {% endif %}
        {{ current_variant.price | money }}
    
    

Here we’re removing the microdata formatting from the H2 element (no longer has itemprop=“price”) and create a separate which we designate as price. Note that for meta content we’re using filter money_without_currency which we expect to not output the dollar sign.

[MANDUST23]

Thanks, Tim.

I’ve hopped in and replaced the code you suggested - feel free to have a look and confirm if you have a moment. Waiting now for validation from GSC, said it could be a few days. Thanks again.

[tim_1]

Well, you can re-test it in Rich results test, https://search.google.com/test/rich-results, like you’ve done initially
https://search.google.com/test/rich-results/result?id=4Rv-RjxQ5OmFrk3D9ZjAKA

[MANDUST23]

Thanks, Tim. As far as I can see, all looks good and functions OK so far. I’ll keep an eye on GSC for updated results.

[MANDUST23]

Hey, Tim.

Received the official OK today - awesome support, thanks again. I really appreciated your communication on the back & forth. Would you be open to taking on any additional work?

[tim_1]

Yes, my e-mail is in my signature.
