Using this value
Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (6057) or the full path ("Toys & Games > Toys > Dolls, Playsets & Toy Figures > Puppet Theaters"). 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 | 6057 |
| SKU-1001 | Your product title | "Toys & Games > Toys > Dolls, Playsets & Toy Figures > Puppet Theaters" |
This path contains a comma, so the cell has to be quoted: unquoted, a CSV reader splits "Toys & Games > Toys > Dolls, Playsets & Toy Figures > Puppet Theaters" into 2 columns and the row stops lining up with its header. The numeric ID, 6057, contains no comma.
Easy to mix up with
These sit under the same parent and start with the same word, which is exactly when the wrong one gets picked.
Questions about Puppet Theaters
What is the Google product category ID for Puppet Theaters?
6057. The full path, "Toys & Games > Toys > Dolls, Playsets & Toy Figures > Puppet Theaters", 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 Puppet Theaters available?

Where does Puppet Theaters sit in the taxonomy?
At level 4, under Dolls, Playsets & Toy Figures (1255). The chain from the top is Toys & Games → Toys → Dolls, Playsets & Toy Figures → Puppet Theaters. If your product does not belong under Dolls, Playsets & Toy Figures, 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 Dolls, Playsets & Toy Figures (1255) and pick a different branch from there rather than settling for the closest thing on this one.
How big is Puppet Theaters compared with the categories next to it?
