Google requires the image property for Product rich results. Without it, the product will not be eligible for enhanced search features like product carousels and Google Shopping listings. Products with images in rich results receive substantially more clicks.

Add an image property to your Product schema with the URL of the product image. Use high-quality images that clearly show the product.
