Use structured data markup on your product landing pages to help Google retrieve up-to-date information about your products and offers directly from your website. Any structured data markup that is supported by Merchant Center will have corresponding attributes and accepted values, as listed in the product data specification. Your structured data must be matched to the corresponding values and attributes.
Attributes and schema.org annotations
Attributes are one of the ways that the product data that you submit to Merchant Center is organized. Each attribute contains a single piece of information about an item such as the item's title or description. Accurately matching the schema.org value to the corresponding product data specification attributes will lead to fewer errors when validating your feed.
Note: If you’re using automatic item updates, make sure to specify the schema.org properties price, priceCurrency, and availability to increase its accuracy. Learn more about automatic item updates

Variants grouped using "inProductGroupWithID"
Certain products may contain multiple variants, such as color or price. To show the variants, you need to add additional structured data to show that there are multiple products on one page. This example has one product that varies in color and size. One of the colors is only available in one size. The other color is available in two sizes. The inProductGroupWithID property is required to show that all 3 variants belong to the same product group.

The following example is similar to the previous example, except it adds more structure by explicitly defining the Product Group that the variants belong to.

]Multiple unrelated products on one landing page
When your page contains multiple unrelated products and each product has its own structured data annotation, each annotation must contain information that identifies which product it is referring to. For example, it’s recommended to provide the SKU (id attribute) or GTIN14 (gtin attribute) in each annotation. If you don’t provide this information, the products on your landing page may not be matched to your structured product data. Learn more about setting up structured data on landing pages
Example
[
{
"@context": "https://schema.org/",
"@type": "Product",
"sku": "trinket-12345",
"image": "https://www.example.com/trinket.jpg",
"name": "Nice trinket",

]Test your markup
Test your Schema.org implementation with the Rich results tool. Visit the Google Search Console Help Center to learn more about using the tool, debugging any issues, and interpreting your results in the tool.
Requirements for structured data markup
- Structured data markup must be present in the HTML returned from the web server. The structured data markup can’t be generated with Javascript after the page has loaded.
- Your landing page cannot change based on information about the user, such as if you adapt prices based on a user’s IP address or browser type.
- Structured data must match the values that are shown to the user. Providing incorrect data on your product landing pages is a violation of our web developer guidelines.
- Google recommends the use of JSON-LD for your structured data.
