INVALID_AVAILABILITY
How to fix an invalid availability value
Availability uses a small controlled vocabulary. Values such as available, yes, or ships soon are not supported product feed values.
Rule source reviewed September 3, 2026
Why it happens
- A store platform exports a human-readable label instead of a supported value.
- Spaces or hyphens are used where the specification expects an underscore.
- A preorder or backorder item is missing its required availability date.
How to fix it
- 1Choose the accurate value: in_stock, out_of_stock, preorder, or backorder.
- 2For preorder or backorder, add an ISO 8601 availability_date no more than one year in the future.
- 3Confirm availability matches the landing page and checkout experience.
Example
Before
availability: availableAfter
