Urgent: Please help - Amazon Affiliate Site in Jeopardy Due to Theme Behavior

[onesmartcrib]

Hi, I have an Amazon affiliate site. I have imported a ton of products into my site using Woo Zone and Amazon API.

I just noticed that my Woocommerce product pages in GOOGLE SEARCH RESULTS are showing the product price and stock notifications. Yikes.

Unless I am missing something like Google talks to my site to display data in real time,
I’m pretty sure this is a HUGE no no in terms of the Amazon affiliate program. The agreement states that we can’t display pricing information as it is too dynamic.

Please advise ASAP. My site is about to undergo a review by Amazon and I don’t want to risk getting banned.

Hello Tim,

Thanks for writing in!

This is not a theme issue. This issue is clearly between WooCommerce and Google Search. Please be advised that WooCommerce product pages have fixed information in it and will display product information publicly. Google crawlers can see the products pages thus displays whatever is on that page in the search results.

What you will have to do is to set set up WooCommerce to work with external product links with Amazon products. I would recommend that you check out this very detailed information instead:

Hope this helps.

This is not the issue at all. I have a ton of woo commerce products in my store already. The issue is that since i updated to the X theme Google IS DISPLAYING PRICE AND STOCK INFO in the search results. This was not the case prior to changing my theme. How do i hide the price and stock info in the search results that Google shows. This could totally get me banned as an affiliate. My whole livlihood is based on this program so please try to see the urgency.

Hello Tim,

Your issues seems to be related to this thread:

• https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hide-product-price-from-google-search-product/

I guess he was to to resolve it by adding the following code in your child theme’s functions.php file

/**
  Remove Price from google search
  */
	 
function wc_remove_some_structured_data( $markup ) { 
	unset( $markup['offers'] );
	return $markup;
} 
add_filter( 'woocommerce_structured_data_product', 'wc_remove_some_structured_data' );

Please let us know if this works out for you.
