Are there all correct?

There are many possible permutations here. I'll try to choose the ones that are closest to your words. It's debatable whether "Shampoo" should be capitalised. If "Stylo Shampoo" is considered a brand name then it's OK to capitalise. If "shampoo" is used generically then you shouldn't.

"You need to pay" is grammatically fine, but it's not the most usual way of saying how much something costs. Normally you would say something like:

"Stylo Shampoo costs $11.25 a bottle"

"A bottle of Stylo Shampoo costs $11.25"

(a) You need to pay $11.25 for a (375 ml) bottle of Stylo Shampoo.

(b) You need to pay $11.25 to buy a bottle of Stylo Shampoo.

(c) use (a)

(d) You need to pay $11.25 for 376 ml of Stylo Shampoo. -- OK

(e) You need to pay $11.25 per 376 ml bottle (of Stylo Shampoo).
