How does price per unit (PPU) get displayed?
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.

What should be done for ‘bundles consisting of different products’ or products like ‘shavers’ where PPU may not be required?
All products sold within the larger consumables product types need to have unit_count and unit_count_type filled.
We recommend using these default values only if you are certain that the products do not need PPU.
