Sorry, the price entered is too large.

Error message

Sorry, the price entered is too large.

What it means

Raised as Link::LinkInvalid by the price_cents= setter in Product::Prices (app/modules/product/prices.rb:44) when the assigned value exceeds BasePrice::Shared::MAX_PRICE_CENTS, which is 2_147_483_647 (app/modules/base_price/shared.rb:57) — the signed 32-bit integer ceiling, since price cents are stored as an int column. The guard fires inside the setter, before any Price record creation, and also mirrors in Price validations.

Solutions

1. Fix the cents computation at the source — ensure the value passed is truly minor units (amount * 100 applied exactly once).
2. Validate client-side against the ceiling: reject or cap at BasePrice::Shared::MAX_PRICE_CENTS (2147483647) before assigning; note links_controller already clamps to this range.
3. For weak-currency products, check the product currency's max-price rules rather than blindly converting USD-equivalents.
4. Rescue Link::LinkInvalid and show errors.full_messages.

Example fix

# before (dollars accidentally multiplied twice)
link.price_cents = 1_000_000_000_00 # LinkInvalid: too large

# after
price_cents = (dollars * 100).to_i # exactly one dollars->cents conversion
price_cents = nil if price_cents > BasePrice::Shared::MAX_PRICE_CENTS # reject at the boundary
link.price_cents = price_cents

MAX = BasePrice::Shared::MAX_PRICE_CENTS # 2_147_483_647
return { error: 'Price too large.' } if price_cents.to_i > MAX

begin
  link.price_cents = computed_cents
rescue Link::LinkInvalid
  render json: { errors: link.errors.full_messages }, status: :unprocessable_entity
end

When it happens

Trigger: Assigning link.price_cents (directly or via link params / API) with an integer above 2_147_483_647 — commonly a currency-conversion bug passing whole-currency units where cents are expected (e.g. $2,148,484 entered as 2148484 * 100), or low-denomination currencies (IDR, VND) converting to astronomical cent values.

Common situations: Client computing cents wrong (dollars passed as cents); price feeds/imports for weak-currency markets; admin tooling multiplying by 100 twice; tests asserting with values beyond int32.
