Products Not Belonging Here

Do not use this category for general vehicle maintenance tools or physical hardware like tires, upholstery, or body panels; these belong in Motor Vehicle Parts or Vehicle Maintenance, Care & Decor.

Items intended for boat or aircraft systems must be mapped to Watercraft Parts & Accessories or Aircraft Parts & Accessories, respectively.

Using Subcategories

Always prioritize the most specific subcategory available. If your product is a specific component like a parking camera, amplifier, or A/V player, map it to the corresponding subcategory rather than the general parent category.

Feed Implementation

Use the numeric ID 8526 or the full path Vehicles & Parts > Vehicle Parts & Accessories > Motor Vehicle Electronics in your google_product_category attribute. While this field is optional, providing it prevents Google from miscategorizing your items; note that product_type remains your own custom classification field.

Frequently asked questions

Is it mandatory to include the google_product_category in my feed?
It is technically optional, as Google will attempt to categorize your products automatically. However, providing the category manually ensures better accuracy and prevents your items from being assigned to incorrect or overly broad categories.
How does this category differ from the product_type attribute?
The google_product_category is a standardized taxonomy required by Google to help their system understand your products. In contrast, product_type is a flexible, merchant-defined attribute used for your own internal inventory organization.
Should I use the ID or the full text path?
You can use either the numeric ID (8526) or the full category path. Using the ID is often preferred because it is language-independent and avoids errors caused by typos or formatting discrepancies in the string path.
