Using this value
Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (6534) or the full path ("Home & Garden > Kitchen & Dining > Food Storage > Candy Buckets"). 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 | 6534 |
| SKU-1001 | Your product title | Home & Garden > Kitchen & Dining > Food Storage > Candy Buckets |
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, 6534, is the form that does not depend on how the file is quoted.
Questions about Candy Buckets
What is the Google product category ID for Candy Buckets?
6534. The full path, "Home & Garden > Kitchen & Dining > Food Storage > Candy Buckets", 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 Candy Buckets available?
No. Candy Buckets is a leaf of Google's taxonomy at level 4, so 6534 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 Candy Buckets sit in the taxonomy?
At level 4, under Food Storage (2626). The chain from the top is Home & Garden → Kitchen & Dining → Food Storage → Candy Buckets. If your product does not belong under Food Storage, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.
What should I use if Candy Buckets is not quite right?
