Different intervals for time based revalidation in the same page

Hello, I'm new to NextJS ISR.

I saw from NextJS docs, it is stated that:
If you have multiple fetch requests in a statically rendered route, and each has a different revalidation frequency. The lowest time will be used for all requests. For dynamically rendered routes, each fetch request will be revalidated independently.

If I have for example, a page consist of list of products (in a card), and there will be a price tag for each product.
I want to revalidate the list of products every 60s, but I want to revalidate the price tags inside it on each request.
Is this possible in NextJS?

I'm considering you have a database, and each item contains information about a product.

revalidating just the price makes no sense, if with the same operation, you can revalidate everything.

Thank you for your response. Can I have your opinion, which one is better for an ecommerce app, SSR (revalidate on every request) or ISR (revalidate after some time)?
I personally prefer ISR.

In addition to that, the price should be not be stored on the localStorage (for cart).

In checkout, incase the price is not updated, I like to give the user a feedback to refresh the page, and revalidate all the routes!

How can I check that the price is not updated? Do I need to make a call from the client side and compare the price?

Do some calculations on the server actions/api route to check if the total is matching the total sent by the client
