Google promotions disapproved: minimum discount not stated
Google rejected the promotion because the discount threshold or minimum value is unclear to shoppers.
Symptom
The promotion advertises a benefit, but the minimum discount or qualifying threshold is not clearly stated.
Exact cause
Google flagged this state because a promotion in your Merchant Center account has been disapproved. Check the specific disapproval reason in your Merchant Center dashboard and address the underlying issue.
Google wants the savings logic to be obvious before the badge appears, especially when thresholds or conditions apply.
Which system wins
Google promotion review has two stages: policy review and SKU review. Under review is usually a wait-state, while a disapproval means the promotion details, landing-page promise, or redemption behavior failed Google’s review.
Correct edit point
Clarify the discount threshold in the promotion configuration and the landing-page copy so the same rule appears everywhere.
Manual fix steps
- Open Google Merchant Center → Marketing → Promotions.
- Find the disapproved promotion and check the reason code.
- Fix the issue (e.g., ensure the promo code works, discount is applied correctly, terms are clear).
- Resubmit the promotion for review.
Validation steps
- Test the promotion on the live storefront, including the redemption code or landing-page promise.
- Check Merchant Center promotions for the current review stage and exact disapproval reason.
- Resubmit the promotion and expect policy review plus SKU review before it can go live.
