The attributes listed here are the ones added to the Core theme listing template by default. To test your site's structured data, please visit Google's Structured Data Testing Tool found here.

Some common results from the testing tool might include:

Rating is missing required best and/or worst values: This could be specific to having Reviews enabled on your website but products that have 0 reviews. Try testing a product with reviews.
Invalid value type for field 'availability': Verify the value shown, it's possible that an outdated listing template might not be using the latest values (InStock, OutOfStock, etc.)
Missing field 'priceCurrency': If you have products with no price or custom price, both the price and priceCurrency properties could be missing.
