Using this value
Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (646) or the full path ("Home & Garden > Kitchen & Dining > Cookware & Bakeware > Bakeware > Pizza Stones"). 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 | 646 |
| SKU-1001 | Your product title | Home & Garden > Kitchen & Dining > Cookware & Bakeware > Bakeware > Pizza Stones |
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, 646, is the form that does not depend on how the file is quoted.
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 Pizza Stones
What is the Google product category ID for Pizza Stones?
646. The full path, "Home & Garden > Kitchen & Dining > Cookware & Bakeware > Bakeware > Pizza Stones", 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 Pizza Stones available?
No. Pizza Stones is a leaf of Google's taxonomy at level 5, so 646 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 Pizza Stones sit in the taxonomy?
At level 5, under Bakeware (640). The chain from the top is Home & Garden → Kitchen & Dining → Cookware & Bakeware → Bakeware → Pizza Stones. If your product does not belong under Bakeware, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.
What should I use if Pizza Stones is not quite right?
Look across the rest of Bakeware first — there are 10 other categories at this level: Bakeware Sets (4764), Baking & Cookie Sheets (641), Bread Pans & Molds (642), Broiling Pans (6756), Cake Pans & Molds (643), Muffin & Pastry Pans (644), and 4 more. If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Bakeware (640) and pick a different branch from there rather than settling for the closest thing on this one.
How big is Pizza Stones compared with the categories next to it?
It is sixth largest of the 11 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.
What is the difference between Pizza Stones and Pizza Pans?
They sit side by side under Bakeware and start with the same word, which is why they get swapped. Pizza Stones is 646; Pizza Pans is 2843. The paths are the reliable way to tell them apart — compare "Home & Garden > Kitchen & Dining > Cookware & Bakeware > Bakeware > Pizza Stones" with "Home & Garden > Kitchen & Dining > Cookware & Bakeware > Bakeware > Pizza Pans" before you submit.
