Using this value
Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (7550) or the full path ("Home & Garden > Kitchen & Dining > Tableware > Serveware > Egg Cups"). 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 | 7550 |
| SKU-1001 | Your product title | Home & Garden > Kitchen & Dining > Tableware > Serveware > Egg Cups |
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, 7550, is the form that does not depend on how the file is quoted.
Questions about Egg Cups
What is the Google product category ID for Egg Cups?
7550. The full path, "Home & Garden > Kitchen & Dining > Tableware > Serveware > Egg Cups", 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 Egg Cups available?
No. Egg Cups is a leaf of Google's taxonomy at level 5, so 7550 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 Egg Cups sit in the taxonomy?
At level 5, under Serveware (4026). The chain from the top is Home & Garden → Kitchen & Dining → Tableware → Serveware → Egg Cups. If your product does not belong under Serveware, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.
What should I use if Egg Cups is not quite right?
Look across the rest of Serveware first — there are 10 other categories at this level: Butter Dishes (6086), Cake Boards (5135), Cake Stands (4372), Gravy Boats (3703), Punch Bowls (4735), Serving Pitchers & Carafes (3330), and 4 more. If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Serveware (4026) and pick a different branch from there rather than settling for the closest thing on this one.
How big is Egg Cups compared with the categories next to it?
It is the smallest of the 11 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.
