DANGER: It is critical that the following information is adhered to when implementing product.categories.

product.categories is used on product and listing pages to identify the product categories that a product belongs to.

The following snippet is a good example of using product category:

[
  'Clothing > Sweaters > Short Sleeve Sweaters',
  'New Arrivals > Clothing'
]

This product appears in 2 categories: Clothing > Sweaters > Short Sleeve Sweaters and also a New Arrivals > Clothing.

• Do provide only the most relevant category, or, alternatively, provide all of categories at once if that's easiest

• Do provide different categories on different pages, to match the context.

  For example, it is acceptable to send New Arrivals > Clothing if visitors arrived via the New Arrivals menu item, and also acceptable to send Clothing > Sweaters > Short Sleeve Sweaters if visitors arrived via the Clothing menu item

• Do implement a human readable category name that is formatted for display purposes. It can't be a technical term such as 457, SHOP/NW/CL or B_CLOTHING
• Do use any number of levels required, e.g. a > b or a > b > c > d are both OK
• Do match your categories with your website's breadcrumbs. We recommend this approach, because it will make the content more familiar to customers

• Do not include the top level category such as Home or Shop in the category path
• Do not include the name of the product in the category path
• Do not use View all in your category structure, for example Tops > View all. Instead, use Tops

Refer to the following examples of a correct implementation of product.categories

['Clothing > Sweaters > Short Sleeve Sweaters']

['Clothing > Tops > Blouses']

['Clothing > Sweaters > Short Sleeve Sweaters', 'New Arrivals > Clothing']

['Clothing > Leggings', 'Sale > Clothing']

['Clothing > Leggings', 'Sale']

['Men > Clothing > Shirts', 'Designers > Moncler > Shirts']

['Activity > Run > Running Pants', 'Activity > Yoga > Yoga Pants', 'Clothing >Pants']
