Using this value

Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (2370) or the full path ("Home & Garden > Lighting > Picture Lights"). 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.

This path has no comma, so an unquoted cell holds it as it stands — which is not true of every category in the taxonomy. The numeric ID, 2370, is the form that does not depend on how the file is quoted.

Questions about Picture Lights

What is the Google product category ID for Picture Lights?

2370. The full path, "Home & Garden > Lighting > Picture Lights", 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 Picture Lights available?

No. Picture Lights is a leaf of Google's taxonomy at level 3, so 2370 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 Picture Lights sit in the taxonomy?

At level 3, under Lighting (594). The chain from the top is Home & Garden → Lighting → Picture Lights. If your product does not belong under Lighting, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.

What should I use if Picture Lights is not quite right?

Look across the rest of Lighting first — there are 12 other categories at this level: Emergency Lighting (1436), Floating & Submersible Lights (500003), Flood & Spot Lights (1546), In-Ground Lights (7401), Lamps (4636), Landscape Pathway Lighting (7400), and 6 more. If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Lighting (594) and pick a different branch from there rather than settling for the closest thing on this one.

How big is Picture Lights compared with the categories next to it?

It is sixth largest of the 13 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.
