Should I use the ID or the full path for the google_product_category attribute?

You can use either the numeric ID 7197 or the full path string. The ID is generally preferred because it is language-independent and less prone to formatting errors.

Is it mandatory to fill out the google_product_category attribute?

The attribute is optional. However, if you omit it, Google will assign a category automatically, which can occasionally lead to incorrect or overly broad classifications.

Can I use my own internal category names in the google_product_category field?

No, you must use the official Google product taxonomy values. If you want to use your own internal classification, use the separate product_type attribute instead.

Hanging Chairs Category Overview

The Hanging Chairs category (ID 7197) is a specific classification within the Google product taxonomy, residing under Furniture > Chairs. It is designed for suspended seating solutions that require attachment to a frame, ceiling, or stand to function as intended.

What Belongs in This Category

This category is intended for various suspended seating products found in the US market. Suitable items include:

Outdoor hanging curved chaise lounge swing chairs
Rattan and wicker hanging egg chairs
Macrame and fabric hammock chairs
Cocoon-style suspended patio chairs
Globo double-style hanging lounge seats

What Does Not Belong Here

Products that do not feature a hanging or suspended mechanism should be placed in the appropriate neighbouring categories. Avoid adding the following items here:

Standard furniture like Kitchen & Dining Room Chairs or Arm Chairs
Floor-based loungers such as Bean Bag Chairs or Floor Chairs
Structural seating like Table & Bar Stools or Folding Chairs & Stools
Mechanical seating options like Electric Massaging Chairs or Rocking Chairs

These items must be mapped to their specific counterparts within the Furniture > Chairs branch to ensure correct policy enforcement and ad display.

How to Use This in Your Feed

You can populate the google_product_category attribute using the numeric ID 7197 or the full path string: Furniture > Chairs > Hanging Chairs. While this attribute is optional, providing it manually prevents Google from miscategorizing your inventory. Remember that product_type remains available for your own internal organizational needs and does not replace this official taxonomy classification.
