What does not belong here

Do not confuse this category with similar hardware items. If your product falls into the following categories, use those specific identifiers instead:

  • Wall Plates & Covers: Use this for the decorative faceplates that go over the outlet.

  • Extension Cords: Use this for portable power strips and plug-in cords.
  • Power Inlets: Use this for specialized recessed connections.

Frequently asked questions

Should I use the ID or the full path for the google_product_category?
You can use either one. The numeric ID 1869 is preferred because it is language-independent and less prone to formatting errors.
Is the google_product_category mandatory for my feed?
It is optional, as Google can auto-assign categories. However, manual assignment is recommended to ensure high accuracy and avoid incorrect product classification.
Does this category affect my Google Ads bidding?
The category influences which attributes Google expects and which policies apply to your ads, but it does not directly limit who sees your listings.
