Invalid availability value

What this means

The availability value in your feed isn't one Microsoft recognizes. Accepted values are: in_stock, out_of_stock, preorder, backorder.

Why this happens

Common errors: typos like 'instock', 'available', 'on_sale'; or uppercase versions like 'IN_STOCK'.

How to fix it

  1. Normalize availability to lowercase, with underscores: in_stock, out_of_stock, preorder, backorder.
  2. Map your storefront's availability values through a transformation step in your feed pipeline.
  3. Resubmit.
