Using this value

Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (2987) or the full path ("Cameras & Optics > Camera & Optic Accessories > Camera Parts & Accessories > Flash Brackets"). 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, 2987, is the form that does not depend on how the file is quoted.

Questions about Flash Brackets

What is the Google product category ID for Flash Brackets?

2987. The full path, "Cameras & Optics > Camera & Optic Accessories > Camera Parts & Accessories > Flash Brackets", 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 Flash Brackets available?

No. Flash Brackets is a leaf of Google's taxonomy at level 4, so 2987 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 Flash Brackets sit in the taxonomy?

At level 4, under Camera Parts & Accessories (143). The chain from the top is Cameras & Optics → Camera & Optic Accessories → Camera Parts & Accessories → Flash Brackets. If your product does not belong under Camera Parts & Accessories, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.

What should I use if Flash Brackets is not quite right?

Look across the rest of Camera Parts & Accessories first — there are 24 other categories at this level: Camera Accessory Sets (8174), Camera Bags & Cases (6308), Camera Body Replacement Panels & Doors (296246), Camera Digital Backs (298420), Camera Film (153), Camera Flash Accessories (5479), and 18 more. If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Camera Parts & Accessories (143) and pick a different branch from there rather than settling for the closest thing on this one.

How big is Flash Brackets compared with the categories next to it?

It is fourth largest of the 25 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.
