Should I use the numeric ID or the full path for my feed?

Both are accepted, but the numeric ID 499919 is preferred because it is language-independent and less prone to formatting errors.

Can I use the product_type attribute instead of the google_product_category?

No. product_type is a free-form field for your internal organization, whereas google_product_category is required for Google to classify your items correctly in their taxonomy.

What happens if I do not include this category in my feed?

Google will attempt to assign a category automatically, but this can lead to incorrect classification and potentially reduced visibility for your products.
