How to fix: Additional or promotional info

Remove all promotional text and only describe your product so customers can better understand your product

In this article


Why this issue is happening

One or more of the attributes associated with your product offer contains promotional text or text that is irrelevant for the attribute.

For example, say one of your products is a green couch, and within the value you submit for the description [description] or title [title] attribute for this product you include the phrases "Best Price Guarantee", "30 Day Money Back Guarantee", or "Free Shipping". These phrases are considered promotional text and should not be included in the description attribute for this product because they are an irrelevant part of the description.

How to fix the issue

Make sure each of your offers has a unique set of attributes or attribute values, and remove any promotional text from your product data.
