Understanding the Erasers Category
The Erasers category, identified by ID 938, belongs to the Google product taxonomy path: Office Supplies > General Office Supplies > Erasers. This specific category is intended for handheld tools designed to remove marks made by pencils, pens, or markers from paper surfaces.
Products falling into this category include various types of rubber, vinyl, and kneaded erasers commonly used in educational, office, and art settings. Based on examples from the US market, this includes items like hi-polymer erasers, traditional pink block erasers, cap erasers, precision pen-style erasers, and specialized kneaded erasers used for artistic shading. These tools are strictly for physical document correction and drawing modification.
Items that do not belong here include correction fluids, pens, or tapes, which are categorized under their own specific branch. Additionally, items like office tape, staples, pushpins, rubber bands, and paper clips must be assigned to their respective categories within the General Office Supplies group to ensure proper feed indexing. Do not include paper products or items like brass fasteners here, as those have unique designated categories.
There are no subcategories for this taxonomy level, so you should always use ID 938 for any standard eraser product. This ensures your products are correctly indexed by Google systems.
To map this category in your feed, you may use either the numeric ID 938 or the full string Office Supplies > General Office Supplies > Erasers. Remember that providing this attribute is optional, yet recommended, because automatic categorization can often lead to inaccuracies that negatively affect your shopping ads performance.
