Wig Accessories
The Google product category ID for Wig Accessories is 7305. It sits under Hair Accessories and has 2 subcategories of its own, so it is a predefined value you can send as it stands — but one of those 2 is usually the closer answer, and an interior category fits when a product genuinely spans the ones below.

Where this sits in the taxonomy
Measured by how much sits beneath them, Wig Accessories is second largest of the 12 categories under Hair Accessories, with 2 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.
Wig AccessoriesWig Caps
The longest route down from here runs 1 more level, ending at Wig Caps (7307) on level 5: Wig Accessories › Wig Caps. Most branches stop sooner than that — the figure to compare it against is the seven levels Google's taxonomy allows, not the depth of the branch next door.

Using this value
Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (7305) or the full path ("Apparel & Accessories > Clothing Accessories > Hair Accessories > Wig Accessories"). 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. Before sending it, check whether one of the 2 subcategories below fits — a narrower category groups the product with fewer, closer things.
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 | 7305 |
| SKU-1001 | Your product title | Apparel & Accessories > Clothing Accessories > Hair Accessories > Wig Accessories |
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, 7305, is the form that does not depend on how the file is quoted.
What sits under Wig Accessories
2 subcategories. A narrower category groups the product with fewer, closer things, so prefer one of these when it fits.
All 2 of them are leaves: none of the subcategories under Wig Accessories continues any further, so one of those 2 names is the most specific value this branch can give you.
Questions about Wig Accessories
What is the Google product category ID for Wig Accessories?
7305. The full path, "Apparel & Accessories > Clothing Accessories > Hair Accessories > Wig Accessories", 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.
Should I use Wig Accessories or one of its subcategories?
Prefer a subcategory when one fits: Wig Accessories has 2 directly below it, starting with Wig Caps (7307), Wig Glue & Tape (7306), and 2 in total further down. 7305 is itself a predefined value, so an interior category is not an error — it just groups the product more broadly than a subcategory would.
Where does Wig Accessories sit in the taxonomy?
At level 4, under Hair Accessories (171). The chain from the top is Apparel & Accessories → Clothing Accessories → Hair Accessories → Wig Accessories. If your product does not belong under Hair Accessories, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.
What should I use if Wig Accessories is not quite right?
Look across the rest of Hair Accessories first — there are 11 other categories at this level: Hair Bun & Volume Shapers (8451), Hair Combs (2477), Hair Extensions (4057), Hair Forks & Sticks (1948), Hair Nets (6183), Hair Pins, Claws & Clips (502988), and 5 more. If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Hair Accessories (171) and pick a different branch from there rather than settling for the closest thing on this one.
How much more specific can I get than Wig Accessories?
1 level more. The longest route down from Wig Accessories is Wig Accessories > Wig Caps, ending at Wig Caps (7307) on level 5. Not every branch below Wig Accessories runs that far, so the category that fits your product may stop earlier than this one does.
How big is Wig Accessories compared with the categories next to it?
It is second largest of the 12 at its level, carrying 2 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.
