Category Feed Implementation
To include this in your feed, use either the numeric ID 4179 or the full path: Apparel & Accessories > Clothing Accessories > Pinback Buttons. Remember that google_product_category is optional but recommended; while Google may auto-assign categories, manual selection ensures higher precision. Since this falls under the Apparel & Accessories branch, verify if your specific item requires additional attributes like color, size, gender, or age_group, as Google often mandates these for the parent category tree.
