Using this value
Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (4183) or the full path ("Office Supplies > Filing & Organization > Binding Supplies > Binder Accessories > Index Dividers"). 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.
In your feed, it looks like this
Either row below is accepted. The first is the one to send.
| id | title | google_product_category |
|---|---|---|
| SKU-1001 | Your product title | 4183 |
| SKU-1001 | Your product title | Office Supplies > Filing & Organization > Binding Supplies > Binder Accessories > Index Dividers |
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, 4183, is the form that does not depend on how the file is quoted.
Questions about Index Dividers
What is the Google product category ID for Index Dividers?
4183. The full path, "Office Supplies > Filing & Organization > Binding Supplies > Binder Accessories > Index Dividers", 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 Index Dividers available?
No. Index Dividers is a leaf of Google's taxonomy at level 5, so 4183 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 Index Dividers sit in the taxonomy?
At level 5, under Binder Accessories (4086). The chain from the top is Office Supplies → Filing & Organization → Binding Supplies → Binder Accessories → Index Dividers. If your product does not belong under Binder Accessories, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.
What should I use if Index Dividers is not quite right?
Look across the rest of Binder Accessories first — there are 2 other categories at this level: Binder Rings (4212), Sheet Protectors (2139). If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Binder Accessories (4086) and pick a different branch from there rather than settling for the closest thing on this one.
How big is Index Dividers compared with the categories next to it?
It is second largest of the 3 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.
