Merchant Center flagged misrepresentation.

Anything that could change what a shopper believes about your business, your price, or your product before they buy. That covers a false discount, a fake countdown, an inconsistent business identity, or a price that changes at checkout. We treat this policy as covering the entire path from ad to checkout, not just the product page itself, since a mismatch anywhere along that path counts the same way.

Yes. Google's systems compare the price in your feed and ads against the price at checkout, and even a shipping fee added late in checkout that was not disclosed earlier can register as a mismatch. We test the actual checkout flow ourselves as a shopper would, rather than trusting what the site's code says the price should be, since the two don't always match.

Usually you need to fix the underlying inconsistency, not just delete the element Google saw. If a countdown timer is removed but checkout pricing still does not match the feed, the account can be flagged again. We check every page carrying the same type of claim, not just the one example Google happened to cite, since a partial fix invites a repeat flag elsewhere.

It tends to be enforced with less tolerance for repeat issues than some other Merchant Center policies, since it goes directly to shopper trust. That is why we check the claim across every place it appears before requesting review, and why we treat a first flag here more seriously than a first flag under most other policies.

The Policy issues tab in Merchant Center usually names the policy and may show an example product or page. We use that starting point, then check every related claim on the site so a second flag does not appear somewhere else. When the tab gives no example at all, we start with pricing consistency, since it's the single most common trigger we see in practice.
