# Updated contextualPricing to be nullable

In the 2022-04 API version release, the `Product.contextualPricing` and `ProductVariant.contextualPricing` fields can now return `null`.

This is in preparation for future argument changes. With the current arguments, there is no case where these fields can return `null`. However, future arguments will introduce `null` cases.
