Where this sits in the taxonomy
Measured by how much sits beneath them, Soda Makers is 48th largest of the 52 categories under Kitchen Appliances, with 0 categories below it. Size is not correctness — a small category is the right answer when it is the right answer — but it does tell you how much of the taxonomy you are still choosing between once you pick this branch.
Using this value
Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (5577) or the full path ("Home & Garden > Kitchen & Dining > Kitchen Appliances > Soda Makers"). 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 | 5577 |
| SKU-1001 | Your product title | Home & Garden > Kitchen & Dining > Kitchen Appliances > Soda Makers |
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, 5577, is the form that does not depend on how the file is quoted.
Questions about Soda Makers
What is the Google product category ID for Soda Makers?
5577. The full path, "Home & Garden > Kitchen & Dining > Kitchen Appliances > Soda Makers", 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 Soda Makers available?
No. Soda Makers is a leaf of Google's taxonomy at level 4, so 5577 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 Soda Makers sit in the taxonomy?
At level 4, under Kitchen Appliances (730). The chain from the top is Home & Garden → Kitchen & Dining → Kitchen Appliances → Soda Makers. If your product does not belong under Kitchen Appliances, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.
What should I use if Soda Makers is not quite right?
Look across the rest of Kitchen Appliances first — there are 51 other categories at this level: Beverage Warmers (5287), Breadmakers (732), Chocolate Tempering Machines (5090), Coffee Makers & Espresso Machines (736), Cooktops (679), Cotton Candy Machines (3319), and 45 more. If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Kitchen Appliances (730) and pick a different branch from there rather than settling for the closest thing on this one.
How big is Soda Makers compared with the categories next to it?
It is 48th largest of the 52 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.
