How can I update the UnitPriceMeasurement object, using the GraphQL API?

The UnitPriceMeasurement is is part of the ProductVariant object, and can be queried without problem (see below).


However, we have found no mutation that allows for updating the `UnitPriceMeasurement`.

So, the big question is:
How can we update the UnitPriceMeasurement object, using the GraphQL API?


querying the UnitPriceMeasurement on the ProductVariant

query ($id: ID!) {
  product(id: $id) {
    id
    variants(first: 10) {
      nodes {
        id
        unitPriceMeasurement {
          measuredType
          quantityValue
          quantityUnit
          referenceValue
          referenceUnit
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
{
  "id": "gid://shopify/Product/8941097484501"
}

Hey @Jacco,

The unit price fields can currently only be set in the Admin. Steps for that here: https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/products/details/product-pricing/unit-pricing#add-unit-prices-to-your-product

This limitation is something our team is aware of and considering for future API releases.

This is available now in version 2025-07 now, the unitPriceMeasurement is now an accepted field for ProductVariantsBulkInput

I’ve done some tests and it seems to be working well, except for sometimes the value from the API isn’t displaying correctly in the admin. But on an API/data level everything works well.
