There could be several reasons why the prices on the product page did not update after selecting a product variant in Webflow. Here are some possible causes and solutions:

  1. Incorrect binding: Make sure that the price field is correctly bound to the variant properties. Double-check that the variant options and property names in your CMS collection match the ones specified in your product variant selector component.

  2. Missing or incorrect interactions: If you have added interactions to update the price when a variant is selected, review your interactions to ensure they are correctly set up. Check the trigger, target element, and action steps to make sure they are all in order.

  3. Improper conditional visibility settings: If you are using conditional visibility to show/hide elements based on variant selection, check that you haven't accidentally hidden the price element. Review the visibility settings and bindings to ensure they are set correctly for each variant option.

  4. Lack of appropriate data in the CMS collection: Verify that you have entered the correct pricing information for each variant in the CMS collection. Double-check for any missing or incorrect values, such as empty price fields or typos.

  5. Custom code conflicts: If you have added custom code to your Webflow project, it is possible that there is a conflict between the code and the interactions/bindings responsible for updating the prices. Review your custom code and check for any errors or conflicting scripts that might be affecting the functionality.

  6. Cache issue: Clear your browser cache and test the page again to see if the prices update correctly. Sometimes, outdated cached data can interfere with the correct display of new information.

By systematically going through these potential causes, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue of prices not updating after selecting a product variant in Webflow.
