Well it's actually two things that are store specific based on the code i wrote. The Gender tag and the Google Product Category tag.
How I have done it is to use the 'Product Type' and map it to the Google Product Category. The one problem is, if you have a lot of products this is time consuming to map out. Hopefully you would only need to do it once. If you add additional Product Types later you would need to update this. I would not be able to answer how to do this, as it is store specific on how you named all your Product Types. It is possible to do this via tags as well, if your product types are not that gradular.
The gender tag is also store specific, as I mapped this our via 'Product Type' as well. If all your product types are not mapped out with gender specific verbiage, you can always do this via tags. Unlike the Google Product Category Tag this tag is not mandatory for pinterest (it will give you an alert, not an error). However this is a very important tag if you want to market directly to women/men. With Pinterest being heavily used by women over men, it makes sense to have this tag properly installed so you can save money in marketing costs.
Hello. I am not sure if I "Built the Google Out" Can you look at what I wrote? I think I may have done it wrong. I have 6 product types so I am not sure how elseif works when theres more than 2 options. Thank you in advance.
