How to Submit a Custom Product Category for Nicotine-Free Pouches in Google Ads via Shopify

[Kavita01]

Hi everyone,

I’m in the process of advertising nicotine-free pouches through Google Ads, but I’ve encountered a challenge with the product category selection. Since there doesn’t seem to be an appropriate predefined category for nicotine-free products, I plan to submit my own using the product_type attribute.

I run a Shopify-based store and would love to get some guidance on how to best implement this solution. Can anyone provide insights or instructions on how to submit a custom product category correctly within the Google Ads platform, especially from a Shopify store perspective?

I want to ensure that the custom category is compliant with Google’s policies and helps reach the right audience effectively. Any advice or step-by-step instructions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your help!

The product type value is not a predefined value. It can be anything you want to choose. To learn more: https://support.google.com/merchants/answer/6324406

The product category, you can leave empty and Google will auto assign a value.
