Is the google_product_category attribute mandatory for these items?

It is optional, but highly recommended. If you omit it, Google will attempt to categorize your products automatically, which may result in incorrect classification.

Can I use product_type instead of the google_product_category?

No. product_type is a free-form field for your internal organization, whereas google_product_category must be selected from the predefined Google taxonomy.

Should I use the ID or the full path in my feed?

Both are acceptable. Using the numeric ID 7081 is often preferred as it is language-independent and less prone to formatting errors.

Category Overview

The Jigsaw Puzzle Accessories category, identified by the ID 7081, is a specific segment within the Toys & Games taxonomy. It is designed for supplementary items that help users preserve, mount, or manage their completed jigsaw puzzles.

What Belongs Here

This category is intended for products that facilitate the finishing or storage of jigsaw puzzles. Based on examples from the US market, this includes the following types of items:

Adhesive sheets designed for peel-and-stick puzzle preservation.
Liquid puzzle glues, including those with built-in or separate spreaders.
Specialized foam brushes and application tools for puzzle sealants.
Permanent puzzle conservers used to bond pieces together.

What Does Not Belong Here

Products that are intended for the actual act of puzzling do not belong in this category. For instance, actual Jigsaw Puzzles, Mechanical Puzzles, and Wooden & Pegged Puzzles should be mapped to their respective specific categories under the Puzzles parent branch. If you are selling a board game or a non-jigsaw tabletop activity, ensure it is classified under the broader Toys & Games hierarchy instead of this niche accessory category.

Subcategory Guidance

This category acts as the final leaf node in the Google product taxonomy tree, meaning there are no further subcategories available for this classification.

Feed Implementation

You may use either the ID 7081 or the full path Toys & Games > Puzzles > Jigsaw Puzzle Accessories in your google_product_category attribute. While this attribute is optional, providing it manually is recommended over Google's automatic assignment to ensure maximum accuracy for your product listings.
