Bing shows "In stock" when stock tracking is disabled?

Postby FredW » Tue Dec 19, 2017 11:31 am

I have been trying to chase down how Bing search results shows "Availability: In stock" when we have stock tracking disabled.

It appears the html code that Bing picks up is:
<div id="bb-miinfohalf" itemscope itemtype="http://data-vocabulary.org/Product" class="lmt">
<h1 id="bbnme" itemprop="name" ... {stuff deleted by poster}
<span class="bb-saleprice">$<span itemprop="price">113.17</span></span>
<span class="hidden" itemprop="availability" content="in stock">in stock</span><meta itemprop="priceCurrency" content="USD">
</div>


What controls the generation of this code? (I made the html text red)

There are some items we sell that are drop shipped, and this saying it is in stock is misleading. This is why we do not have stock tracking disabled.

Sorry, I met to include that we run the 'Familar' theme and ShopSite® Pro 12 sp3 r4

Looks like that theme is using the 'Availability' setting in the product's 'Google Shopping/Merchant Center Feed' section. Here is the code from the BB-PriceTwoLine.sst include file:

Code: Select all
[-- IF PRODUCT.GoogleAvailability --]<span class="hidden" itemprop="availability" content="[-- PRODUCT.GoogleAvailability --]">[-- PRODUCT.GoogleAvailability --]</span>[-- END_IF --]
