Reasons why the issue is happening

One or more of your products is missing the link template [link_template] attribute. When using store-specific product page with in-store availability and price, you must provide a link template [link_template] with the store code [store_code] ValueTrack parameter to all your local products. You can also add the optional mobile link for template [mobile_link_template] attribute to deliver an in-store product page that is optimized for mobile devices and to track mobile clicks.

Your link template must follow the landing page requirements for the store-specific product page with in-store availability and price feature. If you aren't able to provide a link template [link_template] with the store code [store_code] ValueTrack attribute so that you can direct customers directly to a specific store, you should opt into product page with in-store availability instead.
