Using this value
Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (4358) or the full path ("Home & Garden > Parasols & Rain Umbrellas"). 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 | Home & Garden > Parasols & Rain Umbrellas |
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, 4358, is the form that does not depend on how the file is quoted.
Questions about Parasols & Rain Umbrellas
What is the Google product category ID for Parasols & Rain Umbrellas?
4358. The full path, "Home & Garden > Parasols & Rain Umbrellas", 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 Parasols & Rain Umbrellas available?
No. Parasols & Rain Umbrellas is a leaf of Google's taxonomy at level 2, so 4358 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 Parasols & Rain Umbrellas sit in the taxonomy?
At level 2, under Home & Garden (536). The chain from the top is Home & Garden → Parasols & Rain Umbrellas. If your product does not belong under Home & Garden, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.

If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Home & Garden (536) and pick a different branch from there rather than settling for the closest thing on this one.
How big is Parasols & Rain Umbrellas compared with the categories next to it?
