Google has up to date its Merchant Listing structured data documentation to now assist, in beta, membership loyalty pricing property sorts. Google additionally up to date the docs to offer extra examples and directions round lively costs, sale costs, strikethrough costs, and member costs in JSON-LD.
The brand new member worth kind is the worth at which the product is obtainable to a member of a specific loyalty program. These costs are encoded utilizing worth specs beneath the Provide object (except the lively worth, which may also be encoded on the provide stage). The respective worth specs are recognized by the worth specification properties priceType and validForMemberTier, which should not be used collectively, Google defined.
- Lively costs have neither a priceType nor a validForMemberTier property.
- Strikethrough costs set the priceType property to StrikethroughPrice (for a transition interval, ListPrice can be allowed) and can’t have a validForMemberTier property.
- Member costs are marked with a validForMemberTier property and can’t have a priceType property.
Value specs containing each of those properties are ignored.
Google then posted examples, in JSON-LD, of the right way to use these pricing sorts.
Here’s a screenshot of these, click on on it to enlarge:
Google mentioned they did this to “make it simpler for retailers to specify advanced pricing by means of structured knowledge and produce parity with worth options in Service provider Middle.”
