New Standard Product Type field on product entry screen

We see that this new field is available today. This will be great as long as the type is good for both Google and Facebook
(plus any other platforms that may need category).

When we select from this lookup, will it satisfy both Google and Facebook category fields?
Does this mean we can leave the Google & Facebook Category blank and Shopify will populate both with the Std Product Type?

Can you give a little clarification on this?

Facebook documentation states that they will accept either Google or Facebook categories. I have found that is not
always the case, however, as we have had products ‘kick’ out of FB when it carries a Google category. FB categories are
not as detailed as Google. I am hoping this Std Product Type will handle both.

p.s. it is 4pm pst, and I see it has been taken off. Hope this is temporary. Thx!

Actually I am not clear either on this standard product type.

I am creating Google shopping data feed. It seems this standard product type is different from Google category. How will standard product type match Google category?

It would be great the meta field of Google category can have an auto suggestion when inputting a Google category.
