Issue
The google search console has alerted that all of our products are Not Approved. One issue dealt with breadcrumbs, which I think is now fixed, but the next issue is this:


Invalid price format in property "price"

Although this Thread states there is a SOLUTION, there is not. So please do not link me to this thread as a solution

This thread points to a Metadata issue, for which I'm uncertain how to correct.

I'm an end user, not a programer, but I have some basic understandings and can definitely cut and past with the best of them. Thank you for your time.

Did you find the answer to this? I have the same problem. Thanks

jrfackler - we contacted the creator of our original template and they were able to fix the breadcrumb issue. I believe 28 products are now valid with Google and 6 are not. It appears google does not like it when a product has a Variant, more specifically when the variant is a different price than the original item. Example: If you sold shoes and shoe laces were an optional variant add-on (higher price), then Google would not like it since it is comparing the price of just the Shoes listing to that of the Variant. I have not found a fix for this yet. Hope this info helps.

Thank you. My problem is the same. It became an issue when I set the
variations at different prices and used the "compare price".

I'll be interested to see what you come up with as a solution for the issue regarding different variant pricing.
