# Missing pricing strategies

> Why active variants without a pricing strategy receive no price changes and how to assign one.

This warning appears when active variants have no [pricing strategy](/docs/en/guide/pricing/strategies) assigned. PricePirate generates no price changes for these variants, even though it monitors them.

## Cause

A variant was activated without a pricing strategy assigned. Without a strategy there is no rule to calculate a new price from.

## Solution

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the affected variants">
    In the notification, click **Fix problem** to see the active variants without a strategy.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Assign a strategy">
    Assign a [pricing strategy](/docs/en/guide/pricing/strategies) to the variants. Use a [template](/docs/en/guide/pricing/templates) to apply the same strategy to several variants in one step.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check the result">
    After assigning, PricePirate recalculates the price changes. You see the result on the [Price changes](/docs/en/guide/price-changes/review) page.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Prevention

Assign a strategy or template directly when you activate new variants, so no variant is left without a pricing rule.
