]Implement and verify

- 06
Validate after changes

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 show multiple offers?
If you present multiple application types (e.g., individual vs. joint), include one Offer per visible option with distinct URLs.
Can I omit price?
If the fee is waived or not shown, keep price at 0.00 and align availability and URL with the visible state.
