How to Use Product Schema for WooCommerce Products

In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through how to use the Product Schema type on products you create using WooCommerce – let’s get started.

WooCommerce Products are easier to optimize for SEO with Rank Math. Hence we recommend using the WooCommerce Product Schema Type for your products. However, note that the WooCommerce Product Schema Type is only available for WooCommerce Products.

2 Configuring WooCommerce Product Schema

Rank Math’s WooCommerce integration automatically pulls the product data that has been entered in the WooCommerce Product created in the WordPress admin area. This makes the entire process easier and even faster.

Here are the various WooCommerce options that you need to configure to be included in the Product Schema.

2.1 Name

Enter the Product Name for your WooCommerce product as shown below.

2.2 SKU

SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) is a unique identifier with reference to your product. It helps you keep track of this item in your inventory. You can add an SKU in your WooCommerce Product in the Inventory tab as you head over to the Product data section.

2.5 Category

2.6 Image

To include the image in the Product Schema, Rank Math considers the product image as well as product gallery images that can be added from the right sidebar in your WooCommerce Product Editor.

Note: The images in your product gallery will only be added to your Product Schema if you upload a product image.

2.7 Offers → Price

The price at which your customers can buy your product or service. The price can be configured for the WooCommerce product under the Product data section.

In the General tab, you can notice a few options for pricing. The regular price is the price at which your products can be purchased when there is no sale.

When there is no sale price set, then Rank Math will consider the Regular price for the price in the Product Schema.

When a sale is live for the product, then Rank Math will include the Sale Price as the price for the Product Schema. As you can see from the image below, both the regular and sale prices are provided. In this case, Rank Math will use the Sale price as the price.

2.8 Offers → Price Currency

The price currency is the same as the one that you have configured for your WooCommerce store under WooCommerce → Settings → General. Here under the Currency options, you can change the Currency.

The Price Currency is added to the Product Schema only if you have set a price for the product.

2.9 Offers → Price Valid Until

The Price Valid Until describes the last date beyond which the sale price is no longer valid. Once you have set a Sale price for your product, you can click the Schedule option and set an end date for the sale price.

Sale Price to date set in WooCommerce

Since the Price Valid Until is Google’s recommended property for Product Schema, you will see a warning in your search console and Google’s rich results testing tool, if not set. To prevent the warnings, Rank Math adds a Price Valid Until date automatically if no date is added. The last date of the following year will be set as the default value for Price Valid Until.

2.10 Availability

The Availability of the product can be set under the Product data. In the Inventory tab, you can set the Stock Status, and Rank Math will include the appropriate value for the Availability Schema property.

InStock: This value is set for the Schema property when you choose either In Stock or On backorder.

OutStock: This value is set for the Schema property when you choose the Stock Status is Out of Stock.

  • Price Currency: The currency you’ve configured under WooCommerce → Settings → General → Currency options

3 Open Graph Meta Tags for Products

Open Graph Meta Tags are small snippets of code that describe what the content of a web page is and allow you to have control over how the display should be when it is shared on social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter.

There are several different open graph meta tags that you can use to make your website or product easier to find. Each tag provides additional information about your site or product, helping to improve its visibility. Rank Math makes it easier for you by picking up these data based on what you’ve configured for WooCommerce Product Schema.

Some of Open Graph Tags for Product Schema include:

3.1 Product Price Amount

This particular meta tag product:price:amount displays the price at which the product is available for sale. This price is the same as what is configured for Offer Price in the Product Schema.

3.2 Product Price Currency

The meta tag product:price:currency shows the currency in which you are selling the product. By default, it will be set in $ (USD). If you want to change it, navigate to WooCommerceSettingsGeneral, scroll down and change it under Currency options.

3.3 Product Availability

The product:availability meta tag displays the stock status that you have configured previously in the Inventory tab of Product data. The available stock statuses include In stock, Out of stock, and On backorder.

3.4 Product Retailer Item ID PRO

The product:retailer_item_id is the legal entity-specific identification of the released product. For example, marvel_tshirt_001.
