Using this value

Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (5472) or the full path ("Arts & Entertainment > Party & Celebration > Party Supplies > Place Card Holders"). 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.

Questions about Place Card Holders

What is the Google product category ID for Place Card Holders?

Is anything more specific than Place Card Holders available?

How big is Place Card Holders compared with the categories next to it?
