How do I remove the product prices from the Google Results for a particular website (in a multi-website environment)? (Primarily the price pointed to by the yellow arrow)
BTW, with my site, the prices only appear in the results when your Google Search region settings are set to "United States" (where the product is sold).
I've been banging my head for months in https://search.google.com/search-console and paid hundreds of dollars to a 3rd-party developer to try to remove the prices from the Google Search results for me, but we've gotten absolutely nowhere.
I'm using Odoo.sh v15. Any ideas what to do?

I've gotten a message that my site may be knocked off of Google Merchant Center due to "Inaccurate availability (due to inconsistent availability between the landing page and checkout pages on your website)".
This affects only a small amount of products (only around 0.3% of my 40,000-ish products), so I know it's not an engine issue. After asking Google to recheck the results, they came back with the same error, but with a completely different list of products with no overlap, so I know it's not a problem on the individual product level.
There's no geo-locking on these products, and Google says that the problem exists on US IPs.
Nearly all of the errors look like this:
Value on the landing page - v:out_of_stock
Value in the data feed - v:in_stock
Performing an audit on the products in question shows that none of them have been out of stock for weeks, so the data feed is correct.
None of Google's suggested common issues (geolocking, buy button not working, product can't be shipped to an address, products not available country-wide) seem to apply. The country Google checked this on was a US-based IP.
I'm running out of ideas here, does anyone have any other suggestions?
The answer turned out to be something silly for my site, but I'm posting the answer here just in case this helps someone else.
Google's crawler was setting their country to be Andorra and attempting to check out using the US site. This is obviously not a good representation of the US experience. Google advised us that this was a mistake on their crawler's part, and that we would pass the next audit without any modifications. So if you're here looking for a solution, the absolute best advice I can give you is to find a phone number for Google Merchant Center and give them a call because the error may not be on your end at all.
Update: We passed the audit with no changes made on our part.
I'm a technical person with in-depth knowledge on Python and its framework. I've build an ecommerce store using Django-Oscar. I've multiple products in my store.
My store offers a large assortment of products in the Electronics category. A new and upcoming sub-category is surveillance and security systems. However, due to the varied nature of products in this category, the products are distributed across “Home Security” (Under Appliances) and “Security Systems”, etc. (under the Computers & Laptop > Office Equipment). A better understanding of the market segments is required for better positioning these products.
I reviewed Maplin, another e-store that provides same category of products on its store for better placing of my products.
Since I'm not a business analyst or a sales person, I want to get some recommendations/suggestions on how my e-commerce store can structure the products to increase conversion based on your review of the Maplin Storefront and my own product mix in this category. The constraint is that I cannot create a separate level 1 category for surveillance and security systems.
i tried Google on where should a particular product be placed to increase the conversion rate, but to little fortune. Also, I tried finding other SO portals where this type of question is a fit, but couldn't find any. So, if you can let me know the appropriate portal for this kind of question, it will be of great help!!! You can provide your recommendation/suggestions here as well.
Thanks!!! Appreciate your help!!!

take a look at google merchant center

I just want to start out this post by saying that I am not a programmer, nor do I play one on TV. I have found this site because I have been trying to manage our Magento instance, after pretty much left high and dry by the developers we had building this for us. I will try and explain it the best I can below:
When we apply a shopping cart coupon to the sales order, and the discount is applied to each item, a new line item total is configured by Magento. We then have a connector that takes the information from Magento's API and it is then connected to Open Bravo, which is our ERP accounting software. Open Bravo is grabbing the information as it normally does, however it doesn't see the discount information, so the order total is different in our accounting program then what Magento has. Open Bravo is teling me they need to know where the discounted amount on the sales order in Magento is on the API. It's obviously in a different spot then the standard sales order amount.
I might be able to describe a little better if you hit me with questions. Any help you could provide would be highly appreciated. Maybe we could barter for some office supplies, as that is what we sell.
Thanks!
If you are using Magento API to fetch order information from magento, then below link will be helpful to find actual value.

It seems that your ERP is storing "base_grand_total" value in stead of "grand_total".
I have an ecommerce store based on Magento. I have meta descriptions and keywords for all pages.
The problem is that in Google many of the snippets only show a little piece of the meta description and then it shows a couple of products from that page.
My site automatically sets the currency depending on the users location so when it shows the products in the snippets the currency is always USD as I guess google crawls it from the US and hence sees the prices in USD.
As most of my sales are to the UK I think it puts people off when they see the USD currency symbol in the SERP's.
Is there a way to prevent the currency symbol or the price from showing in the snippet?
You could make sure that when the User Agent is googlebot you display the price in Pound.
Have separate pages for each currency and use rel hreflang to indicate what country they relate to.
I'm currently finishing up a fairly customized Zen Cart setup for a client and while overall the site is 99% functional when it comes to ordering, I'm having an issue on the checkout page where the customer is able to see the item totals and the sales tax, along with the grand total.
The issue however is that the grand total accounts for the shipping rate (as shown below the order form) however I'd like to also have it displayed above the sales tax line.
Does anyone know which files I'd need to access to edit the cosmetics of the checkout total?
Aside from that, I'm pretty sure I'd be able to plug in the custom values since I have the variable names on hand from coding the site till now.
Thanks very much in advance for any assistance,
The order in which the totals are displayed is determined by their sort order on the Admin >> Modules >> Order Totals page.
I've changed them this way a few times for clients, but you do need to be check that the tax calculations still work (there have been quite a few changes to recent versions to try to get that right in all cases).
