Invalid schema on Merchant listing report
-
Hello,
Few days agp Google has released an enhanced product experiences in Google Search. See more here: https://developers.google.com/search/blog/2022/09/merchant-listings.
You can see from the above article that “If you are a merchant with an online store, you should check the merchant listings report for your pages selling products”.We manage dozens of ecommerce sites relying mainly on Woocommerce and Yoast.
The issue is that all sites using schema generated by Yoast is not allowing us to validate any of our ecommerce sites.
When i check the new “Merchant listing report” on Search Console, all of the products are invalidated due to these specific reasons:
– Missing field “priceType” (in “offers.priceSpecification”)
– Rating is missing required best and/or worst values (in “aggregateRating”)
– Invalid value in field “priceSpecification” (in “offers”)I checked on all our other sites, and all of them have the same invalidations. Please we need you to release a new version fully compatible with this Google´s new search experience. We trust your plugin to do this job.
Waiting for a solution ASAP.
Thanks!

I appear to be having the same issue.
Google have removed my store from Free Listings.I believe it is because Offers are displayed on Schema, and Google require one set price to be displayed.
My product doesn’t have any offers but it being detected as having one.
Invalid value in field priceSpecification (in offers)“offers”:[{“@type”:”Offer”,”price”:”10.00″,”priceValidUntil”:”2023-12-31″,”priceSpecification”:{“price”:”10.00″,”priceCurrency”:”USD”,”valueAddedTaxIncluded”:”true”},
Is there any way to remove the offer schema?
As a workaround I have removed the whole priceSpecification section around line 250
/html/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/includes/class-wc-structured-data.php'priceSpecification' => array( 'price' => wc_format_decimal( $product->get_price(), wc_get_price_decimals() ), 'priceCurrency' => $currency, 'valueAddedTaxIncluded' => wc_prices_include_tax() ? 'true' : 'false', ),Google has started validating your fix of structured data issues on your site. Specifically, we are checking for ‘Invalid value in field ‘priceSpecification’ (in ‘offers’)’, which currently affects 1 pages.
I removed the whole section it at lines 230, 252, 470, and 504 without any improvement. When validating in search console, it still fails. Inside the page I still see:
"priceSpecification":{"@type":"PriceSpecification","valueAddedTaxIncluded":false}}In the resulting pages.
The script tags surrounding it are as follows:
<script type="application/ld+json" class="yoast-schema-graph yoast-schema-graph--woo yoast-schema-graph--footer">This leads me to believe that YOAST is generating this, not woocommerce.
I am also getting Invalid object type for field “brand”
