This is the last microdata-schema for our Shopify themes

microdata-schema.liquid

{%- comment -%}
This snippet structures the micro-data using JSON-LD specification. Please note that for Product especially,
the schema often changes. We try to output as much info as possible, but Google may add new requirements over time,
or change the format of some info

LAST UPDATE: May 10th 2023 (we added the "hasMerchantReturnPolicy" and "shippingDetails" to include the shipping and
return policy if they have been specified as store policies).

They definitely do not use the entire vocabulary of schema.org. I agree with you teh most up to date one is the second one you linked to (https://search.google.com/test/rich-results).

@bakura10 one other suggestion.

https://gist.github.com/bakura10/75b03f0d92d73581bd8b0df7dc3c2db4#file-microdata-schema-liquid-L22

ProductID should be text, no? (surrounded by quotes).

In my microdata spit out with your latest snippet, i'm getting this:

@bakura10 It looks like there is a tweak to be made for when you use product.url. According to shopify's docs, that is the relative URL, and in microdata we need to use absolute URLs. Example is on line 52 and 72.

For the product.ID it seems to be working with it being as an ID. I am a bit unsure about this, while I agree it should be better, using {{ product.id | json }} is just safer in case of Shopify change in the future the format and that this format requires escaping (highly improbable but we never know).

You are right about the URL, Google does not seem to report it as an error but it should be absolute ideally. I just updated the file.
