Moved Product description to a Collapsible and now Google Search Console misses field description

Hi there!

I have moved all of the product description to a collapsible metadata and now now as the field description is empty Google Search Console gives an error “Missing field description” in Merchant listings.

How can I fix this issue?

Check on your products, description is blank so you got the issue

Hi @miltokas ,
This is Richard from PageFly - Shopify Page Builder App.

Maybe you’re missing this description

Hi @PageFly-Richard and @Dan-From-Ryviu thanks for your answer.

Indeed I am not using the regular Description field anymore, I am now using a metafield with the description as Rich text.

How do I map this Metafield to the classic Description field?

You can try to go to your store admin > Online store > Themes > Edit code > open main-product.liquid, find this line of code

"description": {{ product.description | strip_html | json }},

Change this part

{{ product.description | strip_html | json }}

With the code to get your meta field description and then check again

If you look at your website, you have 2 fields for description, one of them has no details: https://vengastore.com/products/tulum

I also recommend that you only have 1 description, as having 2 migh confuse the consumer.

Have you found a solution? i am having the same problem
