OfferForPurchase

OfferForPurchase is a direct Offer subtype for offers whose businessFunction is sell: standard retail transactions. It has no unique properties; the typed classification carries the sell semantic.

In practice most retail uses plain Offer because that defaults to sell. Use OfferForPurchase when you want the explicit signal — useful on multi-businessFunction listings (buy vs lease, rent vs own).

Google rich results this unlocks

OfferForPurchase is a structural type. It does not produce a rich result on its own.

Its value comes from combining it with a primary type whose markup earns a rich result (Article, Product, Event, and so on). OfferForPurchase becomes the trunk that the primary type branches off viamainEntityorbreadcrumb. Include it on every page as the backbone of your markup.

Common OfferForPurchase mistakes

Mistakes that pass validation but silently fail to earn rich results or mislead consumers walking the graph. Avoid these and your markup will be ahead of most sites in the wild.
