Products disapproved for price mismatch in Merchant Center

A price mismatch means the price in your product data didn't match the price Google saw when it crawled your product page. It's a product-level disapproval, so it's usually fixable without an account review.

The usual causes

Sale or discount apps that change the displayed price with JavaScript, while the feed still sends the regular price (or the other way round).
Currency converters / geo-pricing. Google sees a different currency or rounded price than your feed sends for the target country.
Variants. The feed sends one variant's price while the page shows the default variant at a different price.
Tax display. In some countries prices must include VAT. In the US, prices are shown without tax and tax is configured separately.
Slow syncing. You changed prices, but the feed hasn't updated yet.
Structured data (schema.org Product/Offer) on the page showing a stale price.

How to fix it

Open an affected item in Merchant Center and note the price and currency it has.
Open the product link in a private window from the target country (or with your currency switcher off) and compare with the visible price and the selected variant.
Check the page's structured data (view source, search "price") and make sure it matches.
Fix the source: the app, the variant default, or the sync schedule. Don't just edit the feed to match a temporary sale price.
Re-sync. Items are re-checked on the next crawl.

If disapprovals keep coming back, Google's automatic item updates can correct price and availability for you, but they're a safety net, not a fix for a broken feed.
