critical OUT_OF_STOCK_PRODUCT_MARKED_IN

Out-of-stock product marked in stock

What this means

Availability is set to 'in stock' but the landing page shows the item is unavailable, which causes Shopping Ads disapproval.

Why this happens

Pinterest Catalogs'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 Pinterest Catalogs'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.
