]Implement and verify

- 06

Common errors and fixes
- Missing currency or availability
Use ISO currency codes and complete schema.org availability URLs in Offer data.

Stack FAQs
Should I include links to each policy?
Yes. Make sure the page links to each policy and the FAQ answers mention where to find them.
How do I show policy effective dates?
Use dateModified on the WebPage and keep visible effective dates aligned with that value.
