warning AVAILABILITY_RADIUS_MISSING_OR

Availability radius missing or invalid

What this means

CAT_VALIDATION_ERROR_AVAILABILITY_RADIUS_INVALID and CAT_VALIDATION_ERROR_AVAILABILITY_RADIUS_AND_GEOGRAPHIC_COORDINATE_MISSING indicate the local-inventory radius or its paired coordinates are empty or out of range. Both values are required together for local availability ads.

Why this happens

Snap Catalog Manager flags shipping issues when the feed-declared shipping cost doesn't match the actual cost on the landing page, when shipping settings are missing for declared destinations, or when invalid shipping_weight format trips validation.

How to fix it

  1. Set up account-level shipping settings in Snap Business Manager → Catalogs → Diagnostics.
  2. If you offer flat-rate shipping, you can omit per-product shipping. Otherwise submit shipping cost in the feed for every applicable product.
  3. Make sure feed shipping cost = checkout shipping cost. Buyers pay what your feed says, not what the cart calculates.
  4. Use weight-based or zone-based rules for accurate cost calculation.
