Google Merchant Center: Mismatched availability

Error message
Mismatched value (availability)

What's happening

Google fetches your product page and parses availability signals (in-stock badge, "Out of stock" text, structured data). If the parsed value disagrees with the feed's availability, the product is suspended. Common when product pages cache stock state aggressively but the feed updates faster — Google reads stale page state and flags the conflict.

Affected fields:availability

Manual fix

Audit your storefront's structured data (Schema.org Product/Offer) and visible availability indicators. Make them update in lockstep with your feed. Force a re-fetch via Merchant Center.

Fix it with Emberfeed

Field rules can normalise the source feed's availability values (e.g. translate Czech "skladem" → "in_stock") so the feed matches what the product page emits. For deeper mismatches caused by caching, frequency tuning helps — Emberfeed refreshes hourly by default.
