Improper price formatting

What this means

Pinterest received a price value but cannot parse it. Error 113 covers wrong decimal separators, missing currency codes, currency symbols mixed with text, and non-numeric characters.

Why this happens

Pinterest expects price as 'amount currency_code' with a period decimal separator, e.g. '19.99 USD'. Common breaks include using commas instead of periods (19,99), prepending a dollar sign ($19.99), submitting only a number with no currency code, or using a 2-letter currency code like 'US' instead of 'USD'.

How to fix it

  1. Strip currency symbols ($, EUR, £) from the numeric portion of the price column.
  2. Use a period as the decimal separator: 19.99 not 19,99.
  3. Always include the 3-letter ISO 4217 currency code, separated by a single space: '19.99 USD'.
  4. If your platform exports localized formats, add a feed transformation that normalizes them.
  5. Re-upload and check the diagnostics counter for 113.
