invalid_sale_priceDisapproval

Invalid sale price

The sale_price you submitted is zero or negative, which Google doesn't accept. All products must be priced above 0 — the one exception Google documents is mobile devices sold as part of a contract, which may have a sale price of 0.

Common causes

  • ·A placeholder or empty value exported as 0 from the shop system
  • ·A discount calculation in the feed tool producing a negative or zero value
  • ·Currency formatting errors that make the value unparseable

How to fix it

  1. 01Find affected items under Products → 'Needs attention' and check their sale_price values
  2. 02Submit a sale price above 0 that matches the amount and currency shown on your landing page
  3. 03If a product isn't actually on sale, remove the sale_price attribute instead of sending 0
  4. 04Re-upload corrected data; changes typically appear within 24–72 hours
