Camera Parts & Accessories

The Google product category ID for Camera Parts & Accessories is 143. It sits under Camera & Optic Accessories and has 25 subcategories of its own, so it is a predefined value you can send as it stands — but one of those 25 is usually the closer answer, and an interior category fits when a product genuinely spans the ones below.

Camera Parts & AccessoriesCamera Accessory Sets

The longest route down from here runs 1 more level, ending at Camera Accessory Sets (8174) on level 4: Camera Parts & Accessories › Camera Accessory Sets.

Using this value

Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (143) or the full path ("Cameras & Optics > Camera & Optic Accessories > Camera Parts & Accessories"). 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. Before sending it, check whether one of the 25 subcategories below fits — a narrower category groups the product with fewer, closer things.

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.

Questions about Camera Parts & Accessories

What is the Google product category ID for Camera Parts & Accessories?

143. The full path, "Cameras & Optics > Camera & Optic Accessories > Camera Parts & Accessories", 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.

Should I use Camera Parts & Accessories or one of its subcategories?

Prefer a subcategory when one fits: Camera Parts & Accessories has 25 directly below it, starting with Camera Accessory Sets (8174), Camera Bags & Cases (6308), Camera Body Replacement Panels & Doors (296246), and 25 in total further down. 143 is itself a predefined value, so an interior category is not an error — it just groups the product more broadly than a subcategory would.

Where does Camera Parts & Accessories sit in the taxonomy?

At level 3, under Camera & Optic Accessories (2096). The chain from the top is Cameras & Optics → Camera & Optic Accessories → Camera Parts & Accessories. If your product does not belong under Camera & Optic Accessories, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.

What should I use if Camera Parts & Accessories is not quite right?

Look across the rest of Camera & Optic Accessories first — there are 6 other categories at this level: Camera & Optic Replacement Cables (463625), Camera & Video Camera Lenses (149), Camera Lens Accessories (2911), Optic Accessories (160), Tripod & Monopod Accessories (4638), Tripods & Monopods (150). If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Camera & Optic Accessories (2096) and pick a different branch from there rather than settling for the closest thing on this one.

How much more specific can I get than Camera Parts & Accessories?

1 level more. The longest route down from Camera Parts & Accessories is Camera Parts & Accessories > Camera Accessory Sets, ending at Camera Accessory Sets (8174) on level 4. Not every branch below Camera Parts & Accessories runs that far, so the category that fits your product may stop earlier than this one does.

How big is Camera Parts & Accessories compared with the categories next to it?

It is the largest of the 7 at its level, carrying 25 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.

What is the difference between Camera Parts & Accessories and Camera & Optic Replacement Cables?

They sit side by side under Camera & Optic Accessories and start with the same word, which is why they get swapped. Camera Parts & Accessories is 143; Camera & Optic Replacement Cables is 463625.
