Google Shopping category ID on products
Guide to adding Google Shopping category IDs to products in Shoporama via extra fields.
Google Shopping requires each product to have a Google Shopping category (google_product_category). In Shoporama, you can set this at product level via additional fields.
How to set the category ID
- Find the correct category ID in the Google product taxonomy
- Create an additional field on your product profile named google_shopping_category
- Fill in the category ID for each product (e.g. 1604 for t-shirts)
Via CSV import
You can import category IDs via CSV:
item_number;extra_fields PROD-001;google_shopping_category:1604 PROD-002;google_shopping_category:3032
Typical category IDs
| Product type | Category ID |
|---|---|
| Clothing & accessories | 166 |
| Electronics | 222 |
| Home & Garden | 536 |
| Sports & Leisure | 988 |
Hints & Tips
Choose the most specific category. "Men's shirts" is better than "Clothing". It will show better in Google Shopping.
