To display PPU, it is important that the unit_count attribute is correctly filled. Unit count includes a value (unit_count, for example, ‘5’) and a unit type (unit_count_type, for example, ‘Millilitre’, ‘Count’, ‘Gram’). Thereafter, an automated system decides whether PPU should be displayed or not. For example, if the product is a ‘car_seat’ then the system does not display PPU. But if the product is ‘Coffee’, the system does display the PPU. We are constantly reviewing these rules based on customer feedback.
Effective 1 September, 2021, products sold within the consumables product categories listed below will require all new listings to include the unit_count attribute, which was previously optional.
