Issue Root Cause and Repercussions
Using custom storefront statuses like 'In Stock', 'Available', 'true', or numerical '1' instead of 'in_stock'.
Google only recognizes exact lowercase enum values: in_stock, out_of_stock, preorder, backorder. Any other value causes item rejection.
Step-by-Step Resolution Guide
Export your current raw product catalog from your e-commerce store (Shopify Admin > Products > Export or WooCommerce feed plugin).
Standardize the value to one of: in_stock, out_of_stock, preorder, backorder.
Automatically maps common variants like 'available' or 'In Stock' to 'in_stock'.
