What to do if I get microdata warnings from Google?
Start with the exact Merchant Center message. A warning, a disapproval and a price or availability mismatch have different consequences; do not routinely ignore them.
Google can use structured data on your pages to check and update price, availability and condition. Supported markup can use JSON-LD or microdata. Compare it with the visible price, selected variant and module XML.
- Test the affected URL with Google's Rich Results Test.
- Have the theme or integration generating incorrect data fixed; see markup diagnostics.
- Under Products → Automations, check enabled automatic updates.
- Generate and inspect the feed again, then monitor its status after processing.
Temporarily disabling an automation can be a troubleshooting step, but does not correct data or guarantee acceptance. Daily fetching cannot guarantee consistency when prices or stock change between fetches. For a price mismatch, follow this procedure.
