Should I use the ID or the full path in my feed?

Both are acceptable. The numeric ID 6275 is often preferred because it is language-independent and less prone to typographical errors during data updates.

Does this category require size or color attributes?

No. These attributes are primarily required for items in the Apparel & Accessories category, and Hospital Curtains are considered medical fixtures rather than clothing.

What happens if I do not include a google_product_category?

Google will attempt to categorize the product automatically. However, this often leads to overly broad or incorrect placements, which can negatively affect your ad performance.

Understanding the Hospital Curtains Category

The Hospital Curtains category, identified by ID 6275, is part of the Medical branch within the Google Product Taxonomy. This classification is intended for specialized partitions and fabric window treatments designed specifically for healthcare environments.

This category includes items intended for patient privacy in clinical settings. Examples found in the US market include:

Antimicrobial fabric cubicle curtains
Disposable privacy curtains for clinic bays
Fire-retardant room divider panels
Cubicle curtains with integrated mesh tops
Patient privacy screens that feature telescoping designs

Items that do not belong in this category should be directed to the following neighboring classifications:

Surgical Gowns and Scrubs (Apparel & Accessories)
Medical Equipment or Instruments (Specialized medical devices)
Medical Furniture (Beds, exam tables, or chairs)
Medical Bedding (Linens intended for mattress coverage)
Scrub Caps (Headwear for medical personnel)

If you are selling items like gowns, surgical instruments, or standard bedding, ensure they are mapped to their respective categories to avoid policy mismatches or attribute errors during processing.

There are no subcategories available under this path, so all relevant privacy curtains should be placed directly into this node to ensure the highest level of specificity.

To categorize your products correctly, use either the ID 6275 or the full path: Business & Industrial > Medical > Hospital Curtains. Remember that the google_product_category attribute is optional but highly recommended to avoid incorrect automatic classification, and it remains distinct from your internal product_type field.
