mismatched_strikethrough_priceWarning
Mismatched strikethrough price (page crawl)
The crossed-out "was" price on your landing page doesn't match the data you submitted. When this happens, Google discards the original price, so your listing loses its strikethrough (sale) display — the item usually keeps serving, just without the discount presentation.
Common causes
- ·The strikethrough price on the page doesn't equal the price attribute when sale_price is also provided
- ·The page shows a strikethrough price, but no sale_price attribute was submitted
- ·The strikethrough price is added dynamically with JavaScript after the page loads
- ·Delay between website updates and Merchant Center product data
How to fix it
- 01When a product is on sale, submit both attributes: price = the original (crossed-out) price, sale_price = the current selling price
- 02Make sure the strikethrough value visible on the page exactly equals your submitted price attribute
- 03Schedule feed or API uploads immediately after price changes on the website
- 04Consider enabling automatic item updates so Google updates prices from page crawls instead of discarding them
