Incorrect Variant Price Displayed on Google Shopping/Merchant Centre

Incorrect Variant Price Displayed on Google Shopping/Merchant Centre

I have a few items on google merchant center which seem to be displaying an incorrect price on google shopping ads.

 

It seems to apply the price of the first/lowest variant to all variant sizes.

 

Example product from my website:

https://aboutmeorganics.com.au/products/natures-shield-organic-castor-oil?variant=44829911056548

 

All variants on here are displaying as $12.95 on the shopping ad leading to some customers being annoyed and saying it's misleading.

 

The URL's in merchant centre for the 200mL and 500mL are as follows:

 

200mL - https://aboutmeorganics.com.au/products/natures-shield-organic-castor-oil?variant=44829910859940&cur...

 

500mL - https://aboutmeorganics.com.au/products/natures-shield-organic-castor-oil?variant=44829911056548&cur...

In this case, you need to updated your structured data and opengraph data. To ensure when a variant link is used, the specific price only shows.

 

For example this code will do the trick for structured data:

You still need to change the metafields for opengraph, simply open the snippet code, and edit it, so the variants are shown.
