Price

    • Price Range – this option displays the price range from lowest to highest (for example, $50 to $85).
    • Lowest Price – this option displays the lowest price of all included simple products (for example, $50).
  2. Price is Valid for (Days)“: this option sets the ‘priceValidUntil’ Schema.org property. and indicates the date after which the price is no longer valid for structured data. The date is dynamically updated every day, so that your product price is always displayed in rich snippets. Note that if a product has a “Special Price to” date set (Catalog > Products > Selected Product > Special Price To), it will be used instead to correctly display prices during sales.
