Google Merchant Center: Invalid currency
Invalid currency [price]What's happening
The price string is malformed or carries a currency code Google does not support for the country of sale, so the item is disapproved before any landing-page comparison happens. This is distinct from a price mismatch, where the value is valid but disagrees with the page. Google expects a number, a space, and an ISO 4217 code with a dot decimal separator, for example "15.00 USD". Rejected forms include a comma decimal ("299,00"), a currency symbol ("299 Kc" or "$299"), a missing code ("299"), more than two decimal places ("299.000"), or a code that is not valid for the target country.
pricesale_priceManual fix
Reformat the price field to number plus space plus ISO 4217 code with a dot decimal, for example 299.00 CZK. Remove currency symbols and thousands separators, swap comma decimals for dots, clamp to two decimals, and confirm the currency code is the one Google supports for your country of sale. Apply the same to sale_price, then re-export.
Fix it with Emberfeed
One field rule normalises price formatting across the entire catalog: strip currency symbols, convert comma decimals to dots, clamp to two decimals, and append the correct ISO 4217 code. Czech feeds exporting "299 Kc" or "299,00" are the canonical case and map to "299.00 CZK" with a single rule. Honest limit: Emberfeed fixes the format and appends a code, but if the business sells in a currency Google does not support for that target country, that is a Merchant Center account and country-of-sale setting, not a feed transform.

Catch Google Merchant Center feed issues before they do.
Emberfeed checks every product against Google Merchant Center's required fields and format rules, and most problems come with a fix: a field rule for the whole feed or an override for one product. It also measures your product photos, while rendering them and in the background after each refresh, and flags the ones that are too small for Google Merchant Center.
Emberfeed is a hosted tool: it imports your existing product feed, renders every product image through one template and serves a new feed URL for Meta, Google, TikTok, Heureka, Zboží.cz and Glami. It costs 25 € per feed per month, and the first 3 months are free on one feed up to 1,000 products.
