Using this value
Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (3626) or the full path ("Sporting Goods > Outdoor Recreation > Skateboarding > Skate Ramps"). 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.

|---|---|---|
| SKU-1001 | Your product title | 3626 |
| SKU-1001 | Your product title | Sporting Goods > Outdoor Recreation > Skateboarding > Skate Ramps |
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, 3626, is the form that does not depend on how the file is quoted.

These sit under the same parent and start with the same word, which is exactly when the wrong one gets picked.
Questions about Skate Ramps
What is the Google product category ID for Skate Ramps?
3626. The full path, "Sporting Goods > Outdoor Recreation > Skateboarding > Skate Ramps", 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 Skate Ramps available?
No. Skate Ramps is a leaf of Google's taxonomy at level 4, so 3626 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 Skate Ramps sit in the taxonomy?
At level 4, under Skateboarding (3276). The chain from the top is Sporting Goods → Outdoor Recreation → Skateboarding → Skate Ramps. If your product does not belong under Skateboarding, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.
What should I use if Skate Ramps is not quite right?
Look across the rest of Skateboarding first — there are 4 other categories at this level: Skate Rails (3127), Skateboard Parts (3670), Skateboarding Protective Gear (3067), Skateboards (1059). If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Skateboarding (3276) and pick a different branch from there rather than settling for the closest thing on this one.
How big is Skate Ramps compared with the categories next to it?
It is the smallest of the 5 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.
What is the difference between Skate Ramps and Skate Rails?
They sit side by side under Skateboarding and start with the same word, which is why they get swapped. Skate Ramps is 3626; Skate Rails is 3127. The paths are the reliable way to tell them apart — compare "Sporting Goods > Outdoor Recreation > Skateboarding > Skate Ramps" with "Sporting Goods > Outdoor Recreation > Skateboarding > Skate Rails" before you submit.
