Using this value
Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (7402) or the full path ("Arts & Entertainment > Hobbies & Creative Arts > Arts & Crafts > Art & Crafting Materials > Wicks"). 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 | 7402 |
| SKU-1001 | Your product title | Arts & Entertainment > Hobbies & Creative Arts > Arts & Crafts > Art & Crafting Materials > Wicks |
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, 7402, is the form that does not depend on how the file is quoted.
Questions about Wicks
What is the Google product category ID for Wicks?
7402. The full path, "Arts & Entertainment > Hobbies & Creative Arts > Arts & Crafts > Art & Crafting Materials > Wicks", 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 Wicks available?
No. Wicks is a leaf of Google's taxonomy at level 5, so 7402 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 Wicks sit in the taxonomy?
At level 5, under Art & Crafting Materials (505372). The chain from the top is Arts & Entertainment → Hobbies & Creative Arts → Arts & Crafts → Art & Crafting Materials → Wicks. If your product does not belong under Art & Crafting Materials, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.
What should I use if Wicks is not quite right?
Look across the rest of Art & Crafting Materials first — there are 15 other categories at this level: Art & Craft Paper (24), Craft Fasteners & Closures (505380), Craft Paint, Ink & Glaze (505378), Craft Shapes & Bases (505381), Crafting Adhesives & Magnets (505376), Crafting Fibers (505382), and 9 more. If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Art & Crafting Materials (505372) and pick a different branch from there rather than settling for the closest thing on this one.
How big is Wicks compared with the categories next to it?
It is 13th largest of the 16 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.
