What this means
An agent cannot confirm that this product is available. Uncertain availability can prevent an agent from safely recommending or continuing with the item.
What to do next
Fix the unconfirmed stage, then use the included reinspection to verify.

  • Remove from cart — Optional remove behaviour was not verified
  • Shipping, tax, and totals — Shipping and tax require a destination before they can be calculated

Inspection by CRAB · VSN j.d.o.o. FIX IT. VERIFY IT. Included reinspection after remediation is part of this inspection product.

Improvement opportunities

  • Expose explicit availability in structured commerce data.
  • Destination-gated totals are correct for a physical product. Make the pendency explicit for agents: publish merchandise subtotal and any known discounts, and declare that shipping and the final payable total are not determinable until a destination and shipping method are supplied.

Next recommended actions

  • Expose explicit availability in structured commerce data.
  • Destination-gated totals are correct for a physical product. Make the pendency explicit for agents: publish merchandise subtotal and any known discounts, and declare that shipping and the final payable total are not determinable until a destination and shipping method are supplied.
  • Re-run the inspection after remediation to validate the improvements.
