      Implementation steps

      1. Start from your live product detail page content; ensure titles, prices, and availability match the page.
      2. Embed one JSON-LD script in the head or just before the closing body tag using the combined example as a template.
      3. Fill shipping details for each region you serve and keep them aligned with on-page shipping tables.
      4. Attach your canonical MerchantReturnPolicy URL and keep the policy text in sync with Merchant Center.
      5. Add 3–6 FAQs that address purchase blockers (shipping, returns, compatibility) and keep answers consistent with visible content.
      6. Validate in the Rich Results Test and revalidate after price/availability/policy changes.

      Common errors and fixes

      FAQs

      How many Event objects should I include?

      Include one Event per listing visible on the calendar page. Keep dates, locations, and ticket URLs consistent with the UI.

      Can I list virtual events?

      Yes. Set location to a VirtualLocation with an appropriate URL if it’s online-only, and keep offers aligned to the registration path.
