Unformatted price for product.html

I have my currency decimal place formatting to be 2 decimal places because I need to properly add tax in fractional dollars in my cart.
However, on product.html I would like to display whole numbers to the user. The attribute type="shop_currency_value" seems to be preventing me from doing so. shop_currency_value is using my default 2 decimal places, and I have been unable to add format="" to override it.
Any attempt at formatting just returns zeros.
Is there a way to grab an unformatted price in product.html?

Thank you!

I think nearly every total has a formatted and unformatted version. Have you checked <perch:showall> ?

Hi Drew, thank you.

<perch:showall> does return the price unformatted, no decimals, as I've entered it, and the available id's are price perch_price and current_price.
None of these work with money formats i.e. format="$:%.2n" -- they return only zeros, not even a dollar sign.
If I remove type="shop_currency_value", the price will display in my desired format, but it will not flow through to the cart.

Can you show me the full template tag you’re using?

<perch:shop id="price" type="shop_currency_value" label="Price" divider-before="Pricing" size="m" min="0" step="any" format="$:%.0n" />
I've played around a lot with the format...even trying # formats vs. $

Hi Olympia,

product.html is the default edit form template. If you are using it as a display template too, I think you can do something like this:

<!--* add this first - add the suppress attribute so it doesn't output to your page *-->
<perch:shop id="price" type="shop_currency_value" label="Price"  min="0" step="any" suppress="true" />

<!--* display the unformatted price with type text *-->
<perch:shop id="price" type="text" />

Yes, I'm using it as a display template as well. Thank you very much, that's a perfect solution.
