The Ruling on Swearing a False Oath Without Intent

Question
A lady sells clothes, and a customer came to buy a piece. She told her the price and swore that she bought it for more than its price. After the customer left, it became clear to the seller that its price was less than what she swore. She was very upset; what is the ruling?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: she should seek forgiveness, and she should inform the customer if possible, so that she is not deceived, and God knows best.
