Minimum requirements
These are the requirements that you'll need to meet to show your product. If you don't follow these requirements, we'll disapprove your product and let you know on the Diagnostics page of your Merchant Center account.
- Submit the total amount (number) and units that make up your product. For example, if you submit 3 GBP for
price [price]
, 150 ml forunit_pricing_measure [unit_pricing_measure]
and 100 ml forunit_pricing_base_measure [unit_pricing_base_measure]
. The unit price would be 2 GBP/100 ml. - Submit
unit_pricing_base_measure [unit_pricing_base_measure]
to include the denominator for your unit price. This attribute is useful when products like yours are typically shown with a price for a specific number of units. For example, you might be selling 150 ml of a specific perfume, but users are interested in seeing the price per 100 ml. - Submit a price that can be represented in your country of sale's currency (according to ISO 4217). For example, instead of 1.0012 GBP, submit 1.01 GBP. If your price can't be represented in your country of sale's currency, then we'll round it to a value that can.
- Submit either the
unit_pricing_measure [unit_pricing_measure]
orenergy_efficiency_class [energy_efficiency_class]
attribute. Do not submit both. If both attributes are present, onlyenergy_efficiency_class [energy_efficiency_class]
will be shown. - Don't provide more than two digits after a decimal. If you include more than two digits after the decimal, they'll automatically be rounded to the nearest acceptable value. For example, 1.0234 will be rounded to 1.02 and 29.8999 will be rounded to 29.90.
Additional guidelines
Review each section closely to determine whether the requirements apply to your country or product. If you don't follow requirements that apply to you, we'll disapprove your product and let you know in Diagnostics in your Merchant Center account.
