Using this value

Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (4582) or the full path ("Sporting Goods > Outdoor Recreation > Cycling > Bicycle Parts > Bicycle Handlebars"). 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, 4582, is the form that does not depend on how the file is quoted.

Questions about Bicycle Handlebars

What is the Google product category ID for Bicycle Handlebars?

4582. The full path, "Sporting Goods > Outdoor Recreation > Cycling > Bicycle Parts > Bicycle Handlebars", 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 Bicycle Handlebars available?

Where does Bicycle Handlebars sit in the taxonomy?
