Website price needs to say "From" if varying prices

We have some rugs on sale and they have different prices for the sizes through the range. When they show on sale on the website it only shows the variation for the lowest priced item so the customer cannot see what they are saving on the other sizes. On my picture the 4'0 is £112.33 down from £160.99 but the other sizes are £160.99 down from £229.99 but the customer cannot see how much they were or how much they are saving. They keep questioning why is there only one size on sale. This has put potential customers off buying as they do not think they are getting a saving as nowhere does it mention how much the other sizes were.

The problem with varying prices is, if like pretty much any ecommerce site you are using Google PLA or "Shopping ads" then multiple prices on a product will cause Google to crawl mismatch your products in the feed. This is because the schema on the site only lists one price, not prices per SKU. For this reason, we've found that we've been unable to list different prices for different item IDs for one product. But if that wasnt an issue, then yes, we'd agree that a "From" price would be ideal.

Paul: Hi Paul, it is still possible to label it "From:" eventhough google will not work well on the product page though - it is just making the page clearer to the customer surely ? We had this functionality on our last website, and it worked well for products like this with different pricing.

Simon Edge Sports WH: Yes on page, agree definitely better. I am referring to actually having varying prices for one product however. It will affect GMC shopping feed, which in turn flags data issues to Google, and in turn with repeated data issues google can ban your account. Google shopping ads are more important to us then displaying varying prices.

Paul: Perhaps when the SIM Data is being curated, it could be grouped together in price bands rather than just a model? So for example Shimano WH-MT601 could be grouped into Front wheels at one price and Rear Wheels (which are £10 more) into another VAR matrix?
Just an idea...

Does anyone else have this problem or is it just us?
