The suggested price you entered was too low.

Error message

The suggested price you entered was too low.

What it means

For a pay-what-you-want tier, each recurrence's entry is checked: if suggested_price_cents is present and price_cents (the tier's price for that recurrence) is greater than it, the suggestion sits below the tier's own price, so the save fails with Link::LinkInvalid. The suggested amount must be at least the tier price for that recurrence.

Solutions

1. Raise the suggested price to at least the tier's price for that recurrence
2. Or lower the tier's price (price_cents) to or below the suggested price
3. Double-check both fields are in cents and belong to the same recurrence (monthly vs yearly mix-ups are common)

Example fix

# before
{ price_cents: 1000, suggested_price_cents: 500 } # $10 tier, $5 suggestion
# => Link::LinkInvalid: The suggested price you entered was too low.

# after
{ price_cents: 1000, suggested_price_cents: 1500 } # $10 tier, $15 suggestion

variant_params[:recurrence_price_values].each do |recurrence, info|
  next unless info[:suggested_price_cents].present?
  if info[:price_cents].to_i > info[:suggested_price_cents].to_i
    raise "suggested price for #{recurrence} is below the tier price"
  end
end

begin
  VariantCategoryUpdaterService.new(product:, category_params:).process
rescue Link::LinkInvalid
  render_edit_form_with(product.errors.full_messages)
end

When it happens

Trigger: A tier priced at $10/month whose suggested price for 'monthly' is set to $5 — price_cents (1000) > suggested_price_cents (500) trips the raise.

Common situations: Editors entering the suggestion in the wrong field or the wrong unit (dollars vs cents), or lowering a tier's base price assumption after suggestions were already set.
