Why Does an Online Store Show a Different Price on the Product Page and at Checkout?

A price mismatch between a product page and checkout can undermine trust and stop orders. Promotions, customer groups, tax display settings, currency conversion, cached pages, and option pricing can each make a different amount appear.

What to check

Reproduce the path with a clean session and note the customer group, currency, selected options, quantity, shipping destination, coupon, and timestamps. Compare the storefront display with the cart calculation and inspect recent catalog or promotion changes.

Recommended next step

Define which adjustments belong on the product page and which appear later in checkout. Fix the specific configuration or cache issue, then validate representative customer groups and currencies before announcing the change.
