## How we measure it

We compare the structured-data price with the product price meta tag and the visible page text. A meta tag with a different price fails the check and is a critical blocker; a price that isn’t visible on the page is a partial pass.

### What the result page says

These are the sentences in the test result; “…” is replaced by what we found on your site.

- Passed The price in structured data matches the price shown on the page.
- Partial The structured-data price wasn’t found in the page’s visible text; the price may be loaded later.
- Failed The structured-data price (…) differs from the page’s price tag (…). An agent may quote the wrong price or treat the store as unreliable.
- Failed In … of … sampled products the structured-data price differs from the price on the page.

## How to fix it

**Target:** Visible price = structured-data price = feed price (taxes included, same currency).

### How to verify it yourself

Compare the schema price, meta price and on-page price for the same product; mark sale prices separately.

### Fix it with an AI coding agent

Paste this into Claude Code, Cursor or another coding agent working on your store’s code. Review the change before you deploy it.

`You are working on my online store. Specoria’s agent readiness test checks the item below. Fix it so AI shopping agents can read the store and act on it.

## 1. Price consistency (price_match)
Target: Visible price = structured-data price = feed price (taxes included, same currency).
Reference: https://specoria.com/method/checks/price-match/

## Rules
- First look through the codebase and tell me which files or templates you will change, before editing anything.
- Change only what these checks need, and keep the visible page and the structured data saying the same thing.
- Never invent prices, stock, shipping or return terms, reviews or product identifiers (GTIN): take them from the store’s real data or ask me.
- Don’t block or slow down real visitors and don’t add tracking.
- After deploying, run the free test again at https://specoria.com/ to verify the fix.`
