Product Schema Markup for Ecommerce: Show Price, Stock and Ratings in Google

Structured data tells search engines exactly what's on a page. Product schema markup describes a product's name, price, availability, brand and reviews, helping Google show rich results and power free product listings.

Example (JSON-LD)

<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Product",
  "name": "Men's Cotton Thermal Inner Set - Navy Blue",
  "image": ["https://example.com/images/thermal-navy-front.webp"],
  "description": "Soft cotton thermal set for winter, available in M, L, XL.",
  "sku": "THM-NVY",
  "brand": { "@type": "Brand", "name": "ExampleWear" },
  "offers": {
    "@type": "Offer",
    "url": "https://example.com/product/thermal-navy",
    "priceCurrency": "INR",
    "price": "899",
    "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock",
    "itemCondition": "https://schema.org/NewCondition"
  }
}

Important properties

• name, image, description
• offers with price, priceCurrency, availability
• brand, sku, and gtin/mpn where available
• aggregateRating and review only if the reviews are genuine and visible on the page
• Shipping details and return policy markup (as supported by Google) can enhance merchant listings

Variants

For products with sizes/colours, Google supports product variant markup (ProductGroup with hasVariant). Each variant can have its own price, availability and identifiers. Alternatively, ensure each variant URL has correct Product markup.

Rules to follow

• Markup must match what users see on the page (same price, stock)
• Don't mark up fake or self-written reviews. It can lead to manual actions
• Keep prices and availability updated automatically from your database
• One main product per product page

How to add it

• WooCommerce/Shopify: generate Product markup automatically; SEO plugins can extend it
• Custom stores: output JSON-LD from your database in the product template

Test and monitor

• Google Rich Results Test for individual URLs
• Search Console → Shopping/Merchant listings and Product snippets reports for errors across the site
• Fix warnings like missing brand or gtin where possible
