Kite Accessories
The Google product category ID for Kite Accessories is 7368. It sits under Flying Toy Accessories and has 1 subcategory of its own, so it is a predefined value you can send as it stands — but one of those 1 is usually the closer answer, and an interior category fits when a product genuinely spans the ones below.

Where this sits in the taxonomy
Kite Accessories is the only category at its level under Flying Toy Accessories, so there is no neighbour to weigh it against.
Kite AccessoriesKite Line Reels & Winders
The longest route down from here runs 1 more level, ending at Kite Line Reels & Winders (7371) on level 5: Kite Accessories › Kite Line Reels & Winders. 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 (7368) or the full path ("Toys & Games > Toys > Flying Toy Accessories > Kite 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 the subcategory 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 | 7368 |
| SKU-1001 | Your product title | Toys & Games > Toys > Flying Toy Accessories > Kite 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, 7368, is the form that does not depend on how the file is quoted.
What sits under Kite Accessories

All 1 of them are leaves: none of the subcategories under Kite Accessories continues any further, so one of those 1 names is the most specific value this branch can give you.
Questions about Kite Accessories
What is the Google product category ID for Kite Accessories?
7368. The full path, "Toys & Games > Toys > Flying Toy Accessories > Kite 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 Kite Accessories or one of its subcategories?
Prefer a subcategory when one fits: Kite Accessories has 1 directly below it, starting with Kite Line Reels & Winders (7371), and 1 in total further down. 7368 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 Kite Accessories sit in the taxonomy?
At level 4, under Flying Toy Accessories (7366). The chain from the top is Toys & Games → Toys → Flying Toy Accessories → Kite Accessories. If your product does not belong under Flying Toy Accessories, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.
How much more specific can I get than Kite Accessories?
1 level more. The longest route down from Kite Accessories is Kite Accessories > Kite Line Reels & Winders, ending at Kite Line Reels & Winders (7371) on level 5. Not every branch below Kite Accessories runs that far, so the category that fits your product may stop earlier than this one does.
