2. Set the Unit Price by Measurements
Use this operation to set the unit prices for matching variants. The unit price in Shopify is a calculation based on the variant's price and the total amount and base measure values you set. The unit price is calculated based on the price for the product's total units divided by the units it contains, and then multiplied by the base measurement.
