  • originalPrice
  • discount
  • variantId
  • inventory(place_id,price)
  • inventory(place_id,original_price)

Supported keys are:

  • colorFamilies
  • price
  • originalPrice
  • discount
  • variantId
  • inventory(place_id,price)
  • inventory(place_id,original_price)
  • inventory(place_id,attributes.key), where key is any key in the Product.local_inventories.attributes map.
  • attributes.key, where key is any key in the Product.attributes map.
  • pickupInStore.id, where id is any FulfillmentInfo.place_ids for FulfillmentInfo.type "pickup-in-store".
  • shipToStore.id, where id is any FulfillmentInfo.place_ids for FulfillmentInfo.type "ship-to-store".
  • sameDayDelivery.id, where id is any FulfillmentInfo.place_ids for FulfillmentInfo.type "same-day-delivery".
