Error message

Variants with IDs ${priceNotFound.join(", ")} do not have a price

What it means

In the same pricing workflow, every variant that resolves successfully must also have a calculated price for the cart's pricing context (region/currency). Variants without any usable price are listed in this aggregate invalid_data error, since a line item cannot be created without a unit price.

Solutions

Add a money amount for the variant covering the cart's region and/or currency (Admin product pricing or Pricing module)
Align the cart's region/currency with the currencies you have prices for
If price lists are in play, verify the variant is included and the list is active for this customer/date range
Re-run addToCart after fixing prices

Example fix

// before
await addToCartWorkflow(container).run({ input: { cart_id, items: [{ variant_id, quantity: 1 }] } })

// after (guard price before adding)
const { data } = await query.graph({ entity: 'variant', fields: ['id', 'calculated_price.calculated_amount'], filters: { id: variant_id }, context: { region_id: cart.region_id } })
if (data[0].calculated_price == null) throw new Error('No price for region — set variant price')
await addToCartWorkflow(container).run({ input: { cart_id, items: [{ variant_id, quantity: 1 }] } })

Defensive patterns

Strategy: validation

Validate before calling

const { data } = await query.graph({ entity: 'variant', fields: ['id', 'calculated_price.calculated_amount'], filters: { id: variantIds }, context: { region_id: cart.region_id, currency_code: cart.currency_code } })
const unpriced = variantIds.filter((id) => data.find((v) => v.id === id)?.calculated_price == null)
if (unpriced.length) throw new Error(`Variants without price for region: ${unpriced.join(', ')}`)

Type guard

const isPricedVariant = (v: { calculated_price?: { calculated_amount: number | null } | null }) =>
  v.calculated_price != null && v.calculated_price.calculated_amount != null

Try / catch

try {
  await addToCartWorkflow(container).run({ input })
} catch (e) {
  if (e instanceof MedusaError && /do not have a price/.test(e.message)) {
    // extract ids from message, hide 'add to cart' for those variants
  }
}

Prevention

Whenever you add a region/currency, backfill prices for all sellable variants
Catalog endpoints should expose calculated_price so the UI can disable unpriced variants
Automate a report for variants lacking prices per active region

When it happens

Trigger: Calling addToCartWorkflow with variants that have no price records for the cart's region/currency — e.g. prices created only in another currency, price list scoped away, or variant prices never set.

Common situations: Adding prices for a subset of currencies/regions while the storefront serves others; new variants imported without prices; price lists excluding these variants; region default currency differing from the currency prices were created in.
