The problem

A custom price redesign can accidentally remove unit pricing. Shopify provides unit price and measurement data; use the measurement-aware filter instead of guessing a per-kilogram or per-litre calculation.

Placement and precautions

Duplicate the theme and work in its unpublished preview. Save the original files and change one component at a time.

Adapt inside the existing product pricing component. Use the existing current-variant value if your theme already has one, and keep its live variant-update mechanism.

Bounded Liquid example — not a replacement for an entire theme file:

{% assign measured_variant = product.selected_or_first_available_variant %}
{% if measured_variant.unit_price_measurement %}
  <p class="vbl-unit-price">
    {{ measured_variant.unit_price | money_with_currency | unit_price_with_measurement: measured_variant.unit_price_measurement }}
  </p>
{% endif %}

Check in preview

Preview a variant with configured measurement data and one without. Compare the value and unit to the catalogue, then switch variants and markets. No measurement should produce no unit-price paragraph.

Limits to understand

This is a display example, not a regulatory assessment. It cannot create missing measurement data or replace total price, selling-plan or volume-pricing logic.

Validation: This code passed Shopify's validation tool. This is static validation, not proof of rendering, accessibility, theme compatibility, indexing or improved sales. No live merchant store was changed or purchase performed.

Rollback

Restore the saved markup and styles if anything regresses. Remove any new calls before deleting their referenced files. Remove only unused locale keys introduced for this example. Keep the previous working theme available until the full affected journey has been checked.
