Using this value

Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (136) or the full path ("Food, Beverages & Tobacco > Food Items > Food Gift Baskets"). Both are predefined values for the same category. The ID is the sturdier of the two, because renaming any segment above this one changes the path text and leaves the number alone.

Bear in mind that google_product_category is an optional attribute. Google assigns a category automatically, and your value is treated as a signal rather than an override. When an override actually applies.

Either row below is accepted. The first is the one to send.

This path contains a comma, so the cell has to be quoted: unquoted, a CSV reader splits "Food, Beverages & Tobacco > Food Items > Food Gift Baskets" into 2 columns and the row stops lining up with its header. The numeric ID, 136, contains no comma.

Questions about Food Gift Baskets

What is the Google product category ID for Food Gift Baskets?

136. The full path, "Food, Beverages & Tobacco > Food Items > Food Gift Baskets", is the same category written the other way. The ID is shorter, and renaming a segment above this one changes the path text while leaving the number alone.

Is anything more specific than Food Gift Baskets available?

No. Food Gift Baskets is a leaf of Google's taxonomy at level 3, so 136 is the most precise value this branch offers. If it does not describe your product closely enough, the answer is a different branch, not a deeper one.

Where does Food Gift Baskets sit in the taxonomy?

At level 3, under Food Items (422). The chain from the top is Food, Beverages & Tobacco → Food Items → Food Gift Baskets. If your product does not belong under Food Items, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.

What should I use if Food Gift Baskets is not quite right?

Look across the rest of Food Items first — there are 18 other categories at this level: Bakery (1876), Candied & Chocolate Covered Fruit (6219), Candy & Chocolate (4748), Condiments & Sauces (427), Cooking & Baking Ingredients (2660), Dairy Products (428), and 12 more. If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Food Items (422) and pick a different branch from there rather than settling for the closest thing on this one.

How big is Food Gift Baskets compared with the categories next to it?

It is 14th largest of the 19 at its level, carrying 0 categories below it. A bigger category is not a better one — it just means more of the taxonomy is still open below you after you pick it.
