The spec should already have Price as an optional field.  It does in my copy.

This should work out of the box.  Perhaps you are trying to access the
Price field in the order without checking that it exists first?  This
will throw an exception if there is no Price field.  Or perhaps the
incoming message has a Price tag but with an invalid or empty value
(e.g. "44=")

Please include some messages from the log and perhaps the relevant
code you've written.
