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 in which the product data you submit to Merchant Center is organized. Each attribute contains a single piece of information about a product, such as the product'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, availability, and condition to increase its accuracy. Learn more about automatic item updates

The following example illustrates a basic product with a minimum set of properties.

}
}
The following example illustrates how to specify size type and size system using schema.org. The example specifies US size "XL" for a blue t-shirt intended for adults (13+ age group) in the male "Big&Tall" fashion department.

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 [id] attribute) or the GTIN ([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

}
]Sale price
The following example illustrates a basic product with a sale price. To indicate a sale price, also specify the original list price, which is specified with the /priceType property.
Example
{
"@context": "https://schema.org/",
"@type": "Product",
"sku": "trinket-12345",
"image": "https://www.example.com/trinket.jpg",
"name": "Nice trinket",
"description": "Trinket with clean lines",
"gtin": "12345678901234",
"brand": {
"@type": "Brand",
"name": "MyBrand"
},
"offers": {
"@type": "Offer",
"url": "https://www.example.com/trinket_offer",
"itemCondition": "https://schema.org/NewCondition",
"availability": "https://schema.org/InStock",
"price": 10.00,
"priceCurrency": "USD",
"priceSpecification": {
"@type": "UnitPriceSpecification",
"priceType": "https://schema.org/ListPrice",
"price": 15.00,
"priceCurrency": "USD"
}
}
}
If a /UnitPriceSpecification is also used for the non sale-price, the encoding simply contains two /UnitPriceSpecifications:
{

"sku": "trinket-12345",

"priceType": "https://schema.org/ListPrice",
"price": 15.00,
"priceCurrency": "USD"
}
]
}
}
Shipping
To specify shipping costs (recommended) for your product use the Schema.org OfferShippingDetails type, which must be nested within an Offer using the shippingDetails property and which maps on the shipping attribute in the Product Data Specification. Multiple shippingDetails properties can be provided.

Test your markup
Test your schema.org implementation with the Rich Results tool (by reviewing the reporting for "Merchant Listings" structured data).

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 can’t change based on information about the customer, such as if you adapt prices based on a customer’s IP address or browser type.
- Structured data must match the values that are shown to the customer. 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.
