price_inherited Field

Purpose: Clear variant-specific prices and link them to the parent product’s pricing.

Location: Available in the product import mapping step.

Usage: Add a price_inherited column to your import file.

Accepted Values:

1 (recommended)
true
Empty/not set (default — keeps variant prices)

How It Works

When you set price_inherited=1 for a variant product, the import will remove any custom pricing from that variant and link it to inherit all prices from the parent product.

productNumber,name,price_inherited
PARENT-001,Parent Product,
VARIANT-001-RED,Red Variant,1
VARIANT-001-BLUE,Blue Variant,1

In this example:

Parent product keeps its own pricing
Red and Blue variants will inherit pricing from PARENT-001
Any existing variant prices will be cleared

Note: This field only affects variant products. Setting it on parent products has no effect.
