Google Merchant Return Policy & Shipping Details Errors

Shopify Discussion
1

Hi all,

I see lots of questions about Google Merchant Center issues with the GA4 migration coming closer, I can provide some one-on-one help to anyone needing it.

If you are seeing these errors from Google:

Missing field ‘hasMerchantReturnPolicy’ (in ‘offers’)

Missing field “ShippingDetails” (in ‘offers’)

I will provide you with simple, clear directions on how to resolve this depending on your store’s code.

Please send a private message here (click my username above this post and then click “send message”). Thank you!

The simple and clear direction is to add the shipping and returns policy in Google Merchant Center > top right corner > gear icon > shipping and returns.

There is no need to add it again in the structured data. And can safely ignore the warning.

The intention of these two new attributes in the structured data is for merchants who do not have a Google merchant center account.

Hope this helps.

Hey great stuff ,thanks for that!

In my case, I did this, but then I also found that the one product that had these issues had a pile of ‘GET’ attributes in the URL.

I just excluded it from indexing, and all good!

Cheers

Hi @brandwise-owl , Looks Like I can’t send a message to start conversation. We have GMC and search console account and we have this problem. Can you tell me how we can resolve this error. It only occurs to certain product on our website.

Go to Google Merchant Center, and add the shipping and returns policy.

If you don’t have Google merchant center, you can ignore the warning, as it is not applicable to you.

However, if you want to fix it regardless, here is the full code.
