New: Google Merchant Listings – invalid

The URL you provided appears to be the WooCommerce shop page, so there is no price specification or gender information in the markup. I’m guessing these errors/warnings are for a product? What is the URL of that product?

BTW, your shop page is defined as a Schema WebPage type, which is incorrect – it should be ItemList. Make sure you haven’t selected a different custom Schema type for that page, and you’ve selected the correct shop page ID under WooCommerce Settings > Advanced > Page setup (so WPSSO knows which page is the shop page).

Dear JS, thank you so much for your quick reply.

Yes, the warnings come for the procuts, for example:
https://spoo-design.de/produkt/62047/

Please take a look here:
https://spoo-design.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Unbenannt-2-3.jpg (new “merchant listings” in the search console, all invalid – while all product-snippets are without errors)

https://spoo-design.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Unbenannt-3-3.jpg (the general errors)

https://spoo-design.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Unbenannt-1-5.jpg (the Google error for the named product)

So, you say I have to change the “Type for Page Homepage” from “website (default)” to “item list”?

(The WooCommerce Settings are correct).

Thanks again!
Sandra

“priceType” appears to be a new property required by Google merchant (not Google search), which is actually being applied incorrectly by Google merchant. It should be a property of UnitPriceSpecification or CompoundPriceSpecification (which are sub-types of PriceSpecification), but does not exist for PriceSpecification itself. I’ll have to update the markup to use one of those sub-types and include a “priceType” property.

As for the Invalid enum value in field "suggestedGender" error, it would suggest that “Damen, Herren” is not a valid value for Google merchant.

Thanks, it seems Google just understands the translation into English.
I think, it rather should lern German, no? ??

So, I will see, if I can change it somehow.

Supported values:

male
female
unisex

Note these values must be submitted in English

Yes, thank you. I have to translate. Just not sure, yet, where I can do this, because my shop is in German and I don’t want to rename the attribute (Damen = female).

BTW, the validator for Merchant listings is reporting a false error for priceType values. It believes that https URLs are invalid (like https://schema.org/ListPrice) and that only http URLs are valid. I’ve sent Google feedback. Hopefully they’ll fix this soon. Meanwhile, I’ve added support for the priceType property (with https URLs) in WPSSO Core v13.3.0-dev.6.

Thank you so much, you are always doing really good work. ??
