So now google since Sept.22nd has the following posted as requirements:

Availability: We’d like a user to be able to find your products even when they are out of stock. For this reason, the [availability] status of all your items will be required.
Google Product Category: We have added a new required high-level attribute called [google product category] that contains the category of the item in Google’s taxonomy (currently only required for a select number of categories). This is in addition to the current [product type] attribute.

So is that something I have to change in the product cart?
Because I get all my items as errors.
I have version 3.5.1
Please advice.
