Hi, my client has received a notification from google for
Account warned for violation of feed specification: inappropriate currency.
has anyone experienced this and have a resolution?
Topic summary
Issue: Google Merchant Center (GMC) warning for “Account warned for violation of feed specification: inappropriate currency.”
Context: GMC = Google Merchant Center. “Feed specification” refers to required formatting of product data submitted to Google.
Likely cause: Product prices in the feed do not include a currency code. Example given: listing “2.95” instead of “2.95 USD.”
Suggested fix: Update the product feed so every price field includes the appropriate currency code (e.g., USD) alongside the numeric value, in line with GMC requirements.
Status: A probable cause and remedy were identified, but no confirmation yet that implementing the currency code resolved the warning. Discussion remains open pending outcome.
That generally means the currency is not included in the price. For example you might have 2.95 instead of 2.95 USD
