Understanding Interactive Kiosks Category
The Interactive Kiosks category, identified by ID 5255, is part of the Electronics > Computers taxonomy. It is designed for professional hardware installations that provide self-service, information, or advertising capabilities to end-users via integrated touch interfaces.
Products that belong here include units equipped with interactive touch screens intended for public or commercial interaction. Examples from the US market include:
- Digital retail kiosks with built-in shelves.
- Floor-standing advertising and digital signage displays.
- Interactive touch screen kiosks with integrated Windows or Android operating systems.
- Specialized security stands and kiosks for promotional use.
- Magic mirror photo booths featuring interactive touch technology.
If your product is a standard laptop, desktop computer, or tablet, it does not belong in this category. You should instead use Handheld Devices, Desktop Computers, Laptops, or Tablet Computers. Furthermore, specialized devices like Smart Glasses or basic server hardware should be categorized under their respective segments like Computer Servers or Smart Glasses. Ensure that non-interactive signage or non-computerized furniture pieces are reviewed against the broader Electronics tree to maintain feed accuracy.
As there are no subcategories for this segment, you do not need to look for further specific groupings within this node.
To categorize your items, use either the ID 5255 or the full path Electronics > Computers > Interactive Kiosks. While this attribute is optional, providing it manually prevents Google from misclassifying your hardware. Remember that the product_type attribute remains a separate, internal classification tool and does not replace the mandatory Google category requirement.
