WooCommerce feeding Google misleading price

Hi!

I wasn’t able to view your screenshot – can you try again? I recommend https://snipboard.io for easily sharing screenshots – please follow the instructions on the page, then paste the URL in this thread. It works with Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge.

I wonder if you can tell us what plugin you’re using to provide a Google feed? Our own extension Google Product Feed provides indepth ways for you to control the product display.

If you’re having issues with variation pricing, and you’re using our extension, I highly recommend you contact us at WooCommerce.com > My Account > Support. You may need to create an account before you can access that page.

Our development partner for the extension will be able to help you further there.

Hi Victoria – thanks for your reply.

Here is the screenshot of the snippet: https://snipboard.io/PMkwhC.jpg (it’s only small).

I’m currently using RankMath for any little SEO things like this, but I assume they are just using whatever pricing functions are provided by WC..? Also, I am referring to appearance in organic search results, not Google product feeds for Google Shopping, etc. So I am guessing that for variable products, WC makes the assumption that the lowest price should be displayed…?

To be honest, buying a premium extension every year for every little function has bloated my site and I have been in the process of simplifying it and getting the cost down to a more reasonable level.

I will be reserving the purchase of pro extensions for other, complex functions such as shipping, payment, security, backups, site building, etc – there are many of these non-native necessities already.

I’m hopeful that someone can recommend a basic functions.php snippet to me in order to simply feed the highest price to search engines.

Let me know if your team at WordPress or WooCommerce knows such a snippet. Thanks again.

Hello again, and thank you for your explanation and extra information.

While I definitely appreciate you’re trying to go plugin-free, I’ll direct you to some documentation for our partner Google Product Feed extension which explains quite nicely about how WooCommerce produces the schema markup that Google interprets: the documentation is here.

It explains that WooCommerce only outputs a “single aggregated product information block for variable products” and what the extension does to resolve any issues connected with this. If you have specific questions on this extension, please contact us at WooCommerce.com > My Account > Support and we can forward specific questions to the developer. You may need to create an account before you can access that page.

Please include a link to this forum thread, so that we can keep track.

You mentioned RankMath – I’d also recommend you check out the RankMath WooCommerce guide and RankMath support forums as I spotted a couple of potentially useful answers there (external links).

Finally while we may not be able to assist you right now with some custom code as this is outside of our support scope, and it doesn’t look like anyone else has engaged in this forum on this unfortunately, I’m happy to point you in the right direction for some other places for free community support:

* WooCommerce Slack Community: https://woocommerce.com/community-slack/
* Advanced WooCommerce group on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/advanced.woocommerce/

I hope that’s of some help to point you in the right direction!

I’m going to mark this as resolved – if you have any further questions, you can start a new thread.
