What are the price guidelines to follow?

To investigate a price discrepancy, compare the same item in the XML, at the exported URL and in the Meta catalog. Keep the same combination, country, currency, taxes, customer group, quantity and promotion period.

  1. Regenerate the feed and find the exact ID. Inspect g:price, g:sale_price where applicable and the currency code.
  2. Open that item's URL in a new session. Check the selected variant and price after the theme finishes loading.
  3. For multiple currencies, enable the relevant option and check id_currency, redirects and robots.txt.
  4. Check local generation time and Meta's retrieval time and summary. With XML + CRON, generation must precede retrieval.

Consistent data does not guarantee immediate validation or a universal 48-hour delay. Read the actual Meta diagnostic. See discounts, detailed comparison and variants and anchors.
