Check the selected variant, visible price, page markup, and purchase path. Record the first disagreement before changing a feed or template. Google identifies out-of-sync product data, conflicting structured data, and incorrect variant selection as potential mismatch causes. Its help page covers warnings and product disapprovals associated with inconsistent prices. [Google's price mismatch guidance](https://support.google.com/merchants/answer/9773429?hl=en), checked 2026.10.22. Use this workflow as a repair brief. It does not diagnose an account you have not inspected. ## Capture one affected product precisely Save the issue wording and affected item identifier from your account. Copy the submitted landing-page address, including parameters that select a size, color, or other option. Record the target country and currency. Open that exact address as a visitor. Avoid starting from the homepage and choosing a different item. Write down which option is selected before touching a selector. Choose one affected product for the initial investigation. If the issue concerns a particular variant, keep that variant identity on every screenshot and support request. Use the same item when repeating the test. ## Compare the four price surfaces Ask the store owner to confirm the intended price from the current catalog. Then use this proposed comparison table: | Surface | Evidence to collect | Question for the maintainer | | --- | --- | --- | | Submitted product data | Item identifier, price, sale price, destination | Is this the current catalog entry? | | Visible landing page | Selected option, currency, displayed offer | Does the exact submitted link select the intended item? | | Structured data | Extracted offer for that variant | Does the markup agree with the visible page? | | Cart or checkout preview | Selected item and displayed charges | Does the purchase path preserve the intended option? | Separate item price from charges shown elsewhere in the purchase process. Ask the maintainer to explain a discrepancy against the current applicable Google specification. Avoid changing several unrelated settings to see what happens. Google specifically says a variant's submitted URL should open with that variant preselected. It also calls for the feed and landing-page structured data to agree. [Variant and markup guidance](https://support.google.com/merchants/answer/9773429?hl=en), checked 2026.10.22. ## Check the update sequence Record when the catalog changed, when the website changed, and when the submitted product data changed. Include a sale's beginning and end if relevant. Request the actual update history from the maintainer. Google names a sale starting or ending without a matching feed update as a mismatch example. It recommends coordinating website and product-data updates. [Synchronization guidance](https://support.google.com/merchants/answer/9773429?hl=en), checked 2026.10.22. If the problem is stale output, ask which layer contains it. Require evidence before attributing the fault to a cache, connector, or feed schedule. Keep the last confirmed correct value beside the incorrect response. Repeat the check without a saved shopping session. Google prohibits landing-page product prices changing with factors such as IP location, browser, device, or cookies. Give a confirmed variation to the person maintaining pricing. [Dynamic pricing restrictions](https://support.google.com/merchants/answer/9773429?hl=en), checked 2026.10.22. ## Write a repair that can be accepted Name the affected field, responsible system, approved replacement, and test item. Require the maintainer to show the same intended price and variant in the corrected data and page. Include a sale ending and a variant selection in the repeat checks if those cases apply. Stop before placing an order unless the owner has arranged a controlled purchase test. Record the corrected outputs before using the review or reprocessing option applicable to your account. Keep an unresolved account decision separate from a repaired website response. Do not mark an item approved until the account shows that result.
