Additional fields for weighted product
For weighted products, we suggest specifying the measure of your product. The unit_pricing_measure attribute allows customers to understand the exact cost per unit of your product.
If your product falls into any of the mentioned categories and customers are likely to be interested in its price per unit, it is recommended that you include the unit pricing measure attribute.
Here are some examples of product categories that commonly employ this attribute:
- Food
- Drinks
- Flooring
- Perfume
To ensure that Google understands the data you submit, adhere to these formatting guidelines:
- Type: A positive number followed by the respective unit.
- Supported units:
- Weight: oz, lb, mg, g, kg
- Volume (US imperial): floz, pt, qt, gal
- Volume (metric): ml, cl, l, cbm
- Length: in, ft, yd, cm, m
- Area: sqft, sqm
- Per unit: ct
Example
Let's say you submit '10 EUR' for the price, '500 grams' for the unit pricing measure attribute, and '1 kg' for the unit pricing base measure attribute. In this case, the unit price would be 20 EUR per kilogram.
{
"unit_pricing_measure": "500g",
"unit_pricing_base_measure": "1kg"
}Attributes
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| unit_pricing_measure | To specify the measure of your product, particularly for weighted products, you can make use of the attribute called unit_pricing_measure. This attribute allows customers to understand the exact cost per unit of your product. |
| unit_base_pricing_measure | The unit_pricing_base_measure attribute enables you to convey the price conversion of your product based on a specific unit. For example, if you were selling a 150-milliliter bottle of perfume, this attribute would allow you to present customers with the cost of your perfume per 100 milliliters. |
