Google Shopping variation price rejections

Hi all, just a quick update!

These filters used together ultimately did not result in any improvement in Google Merchant Centre – our variation listings were still rejected after resampling:

add_filter( 'rank_math/snippet/rich_snippet_product_entity', function( $entity ) {
	$product = wc_get_product( get_the_ID() );
	if ( $product->is_type('variable') ) {
		return [];
	}
	return $entity;
});
add_filter( "rank_math/opengraph/facebook/product_price_amount", function( $price ) {
	$product = wc_get_product( get_the_ID() );
	if ( $product->is_type('variable') ) {
		return false;
	}
	return $price;
});
add_filter( "rank_math/opengraph/facebook/product_price_currency", function( $currency ) {
	$product = wc_get_product( get_the_ID() );
	if ( $product->is_type('variable') ) {
		return false;
	}
	return $currency;
});

As an experiment, I replaced them all with this instead (from Michael Davis here https://support.rankmath.com/ticket/woocommerce-variants-vs-google-shopping/):

add_filter( 'rank_math/woocommerce/og_price', 'my_custom_og_tags' );
function my_custom_og_tags(){
  global $product;
  if($product->is_type('variable')){
     return false;
}

}

And now our variations are finally being accepted by Google Merchant Centre!

Just to understand better so we can all learn something, @rankmath could you tell us please what the difference is between these two sets of code?

Thanks a lot @rankmath for your excellent support ??

Hello @eightsages

Please use the following filter:

add_filter( 'rank_math/woocommerce/og_price', 'my_custom_og_tags' );
function my_custom_og_tags(){
  global $product;
  if($product->is_type('variable')){
     return false;
}
  return true;
}

This is the only code which you’ll be needing to prevent the Google Merchant Centre from throwing the warning.

The same shall be included in the upcoming update.

Hope that helps. Thank you.

Yes this is the code I just told you about.

As mentioned, I discovered that it solved the GMC problem instead of the previous filters offered on this thread.

Look forward to it in the next update!

Thanks again for your support.

Hi @rankmath

Thanks for the recent RankMath updates!

I see this issue was addressed in 1.0.48 :
“Fixed: Variation Products were showing price mismatch warning in the Google Merchant Centre”

Before installing this update, should we remove the code below first?

Appreciate the great support!

Chris

add_filter( 'rank_math/woocommerce/og_price', 'my_custom_og_tags' );
function my_custom_og_tags(){
  global $product;
  if($product->is_type('variable')){
     return false;
}
  return true;
}

Hello @eightsages

Yes, you can safely remove the old code.

Hope that helps and appreciate your patience.

Thank you.
