Using this value

Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (6906) or the full path ("Arts & Entertainment > Party & Celebration > Party Supplies > Party Hats"). 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 Party Hats

What is the Google product category ID for Party Hats?

6906. The full path, "Arts & Entertainment > Party & Celebration > Party Supplies > Party Hats", 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 Party Hats available?

No. Party Hats is a leaf of Google's taxonomy at level 4, so 6906 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 Party Hats sit in the taxonomy?

At level 4, under Party Supplies (96). The chain from the top is Arts & Entertainment → Party & Celebration → Party Supplies → Party Hats. If your product does not belong under Party Supplies, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.

What should I use if Party Hats is not quite right?

Look across the rest of Party Supplies first — there are 28 other categories at this level: Advice Cards (328061), Balloon Kits (6311), Balloons (2587), Banners (2531), Birthday Candles (4730), Chair Sashes (505763), and 22 more. If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Party Supplies (96) and pick a different branch from there rather than settling for the closest thing on this one.

How big is Party Hats compared with the categories next to it?

It is 19th largest of the 29 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 Party Hats and Party Favors?
