google merchant centre caching wrong currency

Hi,

In the last couple of weeks, the products in our merchant center feeds have started to be disapproved due to incorrect price.  I checked the feed against the pages, and the microdata and everything is correct, GBP prices to match the feed.

Looking into this further it seems Google is caching the euro price on all of our pages.  I cannot understand why though. This has never happened before. The default currency is GBP I am unable to replicate this from any other browser.

If you check the google structured data tool:

https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool#url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.centralcrafts.co.uk%2Frustico-large-saddle-brown-handmade-leather-bound-journal

price  38.40
priceCurrency  EUR


and compare with our site:

https://www.centralcrafts.co.uk/rustico-large-saddle-brown-handmade-leather-bound-journal

itemprop="price" content="32.00"
itemprop="priceCurrency" content="GBP"

I can see that for some reason google bot has selected/activated euro currency from the drop-down. (line 599)

<a href="javascript:void(0)" class="language-currency">€ EUR <span class="caret"></span></a>

I have no idea why or how it is doing this I am not making good progress with Google at all.  I guess they might be inadvertently triggering it?

Does anyone here have experience of something like this happening, I am urgently seeking a solution?

is it possible to block robots from changing the currency?

Thank for any advice offered.

Alex

I have added this to my robots.txt:

Disallow: /changecurrency/*
Disallow: /changecurrency/
Disallow: /changecurrency

will see if this helps and report back.

In case this helps anyone, it turned out to be a remnant of the Froogle shopping plugin that I had uninstalled, previously.


in all settings, there was a setting related to Froogle & currency. deleting this setting fixed the problem. It was changing the currency based on user agent i.e. for search engines.
