"Inaccurate availability status due to inconsistency between feed and landing page" in Merchant Center: what it means and how to fix it

What it usually looks like on a store

Same root cause as mismatched availability, repeated across many items: the feed and the page disagree about stock often enough that Google flags the whole account.

What Google says

Account warning or preemptive product disapproval when Google finds availability mismatches between product data and landing pages. Google lists causes such as location-based availability (IP detection), preorder or sold-out items shown as in stock, preselected out-of-stock variants, broken or greyed out Buy buttons, availability hidden behind a zip code, and inconsistent availability across landing page, checkout, structured data and feed.

How to fix it

Based on Google's help pages, in plain language:

1. Check the warning email for examples and look for a common cause.
2. Update landing page, product data and microdata at the same time; schedule uploads or use the API.
3. Update the availability attribute to match the landing page and resubmit the product data.
4. Request a review.

What to check on your website

These are the checks we run that relate to this issue. A problem in any of them can be enough on its own.

• Availability matches the page: Offer availability is set with a valid schema.org value and agrees with what the page shows (no "in stock" markup on a sold-out page).
• Product structured data: Each product page has valid Product markup (JSON-LD or microdata) with a name, image and offer.
• Customers can buy: Product pages have a working add-to-cart or buy button and the cart page loads securely.

Requesting a review

Google says that once technical fixes are live, a small ad edit or selecting Appeal starts a fresh crawl that usually finishes within 24 to 48 hours. Depending on the violation there may be extra verification steps and a limit on how many reviews can be requested.
