URL_INVALID
How to fix an invalid product or image URL
Product and image links need complete HTTP or HTTPS URLs. Relative paths, unencoded spaces, and private URLs cannot identify a public product page.
Rule source reviewed September 3, 2026
Why it happens
- The export contains a relative path instead of the full website URL.
- Spaces or other characters were not encoded correctly.
- The URL points to an internal, staging, or login-protected location.
How to fix it
- 1Start with the full canonical HTTP or HTTPS URL, including the domain.
- 2Encode spaces and confirm the URL stays within the 2,000-character limit.
- 3Open the URL in a private browser window and verify the product or image is publicly reachable.
