Price formatting and the source of a price are separate settings. Choose the price source first, then adjust its separators, decimal places, and currency text.

Choose the price field

These Link To labels are shown in both editors:

Link To labelWhat it prints
PRICEThe product variant’s price in the store currency
COMPARED_AT_PRICEThe variant’s compare-at price
MARKET PRICEThe price for the selected market region, including that market’s adjustments
MARKET COMPARE-AT PRICEThe compare-at price for the selected market region
CATALOG PRICEThe list price from the selected catalog or price list
CATALOG COMPARE-AT PRICEThe compare-at list price from the selected catalog or price list

Market and catalog options depend on your platform and store setup. “Presentment price” in older guidance refers to MARKET PRICE; it is not the same as CATALOG PRICE.

Format the price and choose a market

Other1.234,56

Common issues

Extra zeros or too few decimal places

Change Fraction digits on the selected price element. Do not switch away from a market price just to change its decimal places; both ordinary and market price fields have formatting controls. A price is not automatically fixed at two decimal places.

Wrong currency symbol or price

Check both the Link To source and any typed prefix or suffix. Editing a currency symbol only changes the printed text; it does not convert a price. For a market price, select the intended market region and confirm that product’s price in your store.

Compare-at price is blank

Check the affected variant’s compare-at price in your store. For COMPARED_AT_PRICE, both editors offer Price replace → Show price if no compare-at price. Enable this if you want the ordinary price when no compare-at price is set. This setting does not establish a discount or apply automatically to market and catalog compare-at fields.

Price shows zero

Check that the affected variant has a price, then verify the element’s Link To source. For a normal store price, choose PRICE. For a market or catalog price, also check the selected region or catalog.
