Frequently asked questions

Is it mandatory to use the google_product_category attribute for my manuals?
No, it is optional. However, if you omit it, Google will attempt to categorize the item automatically, which can lead to inaccuracies and poor feed performance.
Can I use product_type instead of the google_product_category ID?
No, these are separate attributes. product_type is for your internal organization, whereas google_product_category must strictly follow the official Google taxonomy.
Does this category require specific attributes like size or color?
No. Attributes like size, gender, and age_group are primarily required for Apparel & Accessories, not for printed instructional materials like manuals.
