Dart Parts
The Google product category ID for Dart Parts is 3327. It sits under Throwing Darts and has 3 subcategories of its own, so it is a predefined value you can send as it stands — but one of those 3 is usually the closer answer, and an interior category fits when a product genuinely spans the ones below.

Where this sits in the taxonomy
Measured by how much sits beneath them, Dart Parts is the largest of the 4 categories under Throwing Darts, with 3 categories below it.

Dart PartsDart Flights
The longest route down from here runs 1 more level, ending at Dart Flights (3766) on level 5: Dart Parts › Dart Flights. Most branches stop sooner than that — the figure to compare it against is the seven levels Google's taxonomy allows, not the depth of the branch next door.

Using this value
Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (3327) or the full path ("Sporting Goods > Indoor Games > Throwing Darts > Dart Parts"). 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 3 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.

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

|---|---|---|

| SKU-1001 | Your product title | Sporting Goods > Indoor Games > Throwing Darts > Dart Parts |
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, 3327, is the form that does not depend on how the file is quoted.
What sits under Dart Parts

These sit under the same parent and start with the same word, which is exactly when the wrong one gets picked.
Questions about Dart Parts
What is the Google product category ID for Dart Parts?
3327. The full path, "Sporting Goods > Indoor Games > Throwing Darts > Dart Parts", 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 Dart Parts or one of its subcategories?
Prefer a subcategory when one fits: Dart Parts has 3 directly below it, starting with Dart Flights (3766), Dart Shafts (3109), Dart Tips (3250), and 3 in total further down. 3327 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 Dart Parts sit in the taxonomy?
At level 4, under Throwing Darts (1005). The chain from the top is Sporting Goods → Indoor Games → Throwing Darts → Dart Parts. If your product does not belong under Throwing Darts, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.
What should I use if Dart Parts is not quite right?
Look across the rest of Throwing Darts first — there are 3 other categories at this level: Dart Backboards (3957), Dartboards (3559), Darts (3839). If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Throwing Darts (1005) 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 Dart Parts?
1 level more. The longest route down from Dart Parts is Dart Parts > Dart Flights, ending at Dart Flights (3766) on level 5. Not every branch below Dart Parts runs that far, so the category that fits your product may stop earlier than this one does.
How big is Dart Parts compared with the categories next to it?
It is the largest of the 4 at its level, carrying 3 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 Dart Parts and Dart Backboards?
They sit side by side under Throwing Darts and start with the same word, which is why they get swapped. Dart Parts is 3327; Dart Backboards is 3957. The paths are the reliable way to tell them apart — compare "Sporting Goods > Indoor Games > Throwing Darts > Dart Parts" with "Sporting Goods > Indoor Games > Throwing Darts > Dart Backboards" before you submit.
