critical CURRENCY_CODE_MISMATCH_WITH_TA

Currency code mismatch with target country

What this means

Price currency must match the target country's currency (e.g., USD for US, EUR for DE). Mismatches cause rejection.

Why this happens

Microsoft Merchant Center's product schema has format and value rules per attribute. This issue is typically: missing a required attribute for the category, an invalid enum value (e.g., 'XL' submitted where 'M, L, XL' is the valid set), out-of-range numbers, or attributes that conflict across the feed.

How to fix it

  1. Look up the affected attribute in Microsoft Merchant Center's product data spec.
  2. Check whether the attribute is REQUIRED vs RECOMMENDED for your product category.
  3. For enum-style attributes (gender, age_group, condition), use ONLY documented values exactly (case-sensitive).
  4. For free-text attributes, stay within the character limit and avoid promotional language.
  5. Re-submit and check the next processing cycle.
