Optional Field

This field is optional, but omitting it may leave out functionality on Prisjakt for your offers

Description​

The measure and dimension of your product as it is sold. Use this attribute to help customers understand the exact quantity they are buying and to enable comparison shopping for price-per-unit. Required by local laws or regulations in some markets (e.g. EU). Accepts a numerical value followed by a unit (e.g. 1.5kg). Supported units include weight (oz, lb, mg, g, kg), volume (floz, pt, qt, gal, ml, cl, l, cbm), length (in, ft, yd, cm, m), area (sqft, sqm) and per-unit (ct, sheet, item).

Validation Rules​

  • Must be a positive number followed by a supported unit with or without a space (e.g. 1.5kg, 1.5 kg)
  • Supported units are oz, lb, mg, g, kg, floz, pt, qt, gal, ml, cl, l, cbm, in, ft, yd, cm, m, sqft, sqm, ct,sheet, item

Best Practices​

Don´t​

  • Do not use this field for products sold by count unless ct (count) is appropriate
