Product Types are used by Google to help show your products to people searching. An example of this is Books \> Non-Fiction \> Cooking Books.  This hierarcy is very useful for Google to understand how you categorise your products and can help you to get your products seen more often. By default, when querying the API, Shopify does not provide the hierarchy of collections. For example, your website might have a menu that has Books \> Non-Fiction \> Cooking Books. This information is not available via the API, however we can help with providing this information. ### How do I implement the hierarchy? 1. Log in to your Shopify backend. 2. Replace the path in the URL with **/admin/bulk?resource\_name=Collection&edit=metafields.global.parent** after the domain (xxx.myshopify.com), (eg [https://forrspec.myshopify.com/admin/bulk?resource\_name=Collection&edit=metafields.global.parent](https://forrspec.myshopify.com/admin/bulk?resource_name=Collection&edit=metafields.global.parent)) 3. On that page, for each collection, enter the name of the collection that is the parent to the collection shown to the left: ![](https://kb.feedops.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/d33v4339jhl8k0.cloudfront.netdocsassets59f963d52c7d3a272c0d491aimages6041c85d24d2d21e45edcdd8file-yrOvUC2YKk.png) 4. Once complete, please contact us and we will enable the hierarchy in your feed. - [FeedOps Toolkit](https://kb.feedops.com/knowledge/feedops-toolkit?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Feed Optimization](https://kb.feedops.com/knowledge/feedops-toolkit?hsLang=en#feed-optimization) - [Insights](https://kb.feedops.com/knowledge/feedops-toolkit?hsLang=en#insights) - [Onboarding FeedOps](https://kb.feedops.com/knowledge/onboarding-feedops?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Initial Set-Up](https://kb.feedops.com/knowledge/onboarding-feedops?hsLang=en#initial-set-up) - [Account & Website Settings](https://kb.feedops.com/knowledge/onboarding-feedops?hsLang=en#account-website-settings) - [Supported Platform Guides](https://kb.feedops.com/knowledge/onboarding-feedops?hsLang=en#supported-platform-guides) - [Troubleshooting](https://kb.feedops.com/knowledge/troubleshooting?hsLang=en) - [Choosing FeedOps](https://kb.feedops.com/knowledge/choosing-feedops?hsLang=en#main-content) - [FeedOps Overview](https://kb.feedops.com/knowledge/choosing-feedops?hsLang=en#feedops-overview) - [Help Center Introduction](https://kb.feedops.com/knowledge/choosing-feedops?hsLang=en#help-center-introduction) - [Using FeedOps](https://kb.feedops.com/knowledge/using-feedops?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Google Free Product Listings](https://kb.feedops.com/knowledge/using-feedops?hsLang=en#google-free-product-listings) - [FeedOps Optimizations](https://kb.feedops.com/knowledge/using-feedops?hsLang=en#feedops-optimizations) - [Google Ads](https://kb.feedops.com/knowledge/using-feedops?hsLang=en#google-ads) - [eCommerce Store Connection](https://kb.feedops.com/knowledge/using-feedops?hsLang=en#ecommerce-store-connection) - [Google Analytics](https://kb.feedops.com/knowledge/using-feedops?hsLang=en#google-analytics) - [Google Merchant Center](https://kb.feedops.com/knowledge/using-feedops?hsLang=en#google-merchant-center) - [Facebook Catalog](https://kb.feedops.com/knowledge/using-feedops?hsLang=en#facebook-catalog) - [Microsoft Ads](https://kb.feedops.com/knowledge/using-feedops?hsLang=en#microsoft-ads) - [Website Integration Help](https://kb.feedops.com/knowledge/website-integration-help?hsLang=en#main-content) - [BigCommerce](https://kb.feedops.com/knowledge/website-integration-help?hsLang=en#bigcommerce) - [Google Analytics](https://kb.feedops.com/knowledge/website-integration-help?hsLang=en#google-analytics) - [Magento](https://kb.feedops.com/knowledge/website-integration-help?hsLang=en#magento) - [Ecwid](https://kb.feedops.com/knowledge/website-integration-help?hsLang=en#ecwid) - [Shopify](https://kb.feedops.com/knowledge/website-integration-help?hsLang=en#shopify) - [Magento 2.X](https://kb.feedops.com/knowledge/website-integration-help?hsLang=en#magento-2-x) - [Neto](https://kb.feedops.com/knowledge/website-integration-help?hsLang=en#neto) - [OpenCart](https://kb.feedops.com/knowledge/website-integration-help?hsLang=en#opencart) - [Other](https://kb.feedops.com/knowledge/website-integration-help?hsLang=en#other) - [Google Merchant Center](https://kb.feedops.com/knowledge/website-integration-help?hsLang=en#google-merchant-center) - [WooCommerce](https://kb.feedops.com/knowledge/website-integration-help?hsLang=en#woocommerce) - [Salesforce Commerce Cloud](https://kb.feedops.com/knowledge/website-integration-help?hsLang=en#salesforce-commerce-cloud) - [Marketplacer](https://kb.feedops.com/knowledge/website-integration-help?hsLang=en#marketplacer) - [Tracking Conversions and Remarketing Events](https://kb.feedops.com/knowledge/website-integration-help?hsLang=en#tracking-conversions-and-remarketing-events) - [Learning Center](https://kb.feedops.com/knowledge/learning-center?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Google Ads](https://kb.feedops.com/knowledge/learning-center?hsLang=en#google-ads) - [Google Merchant Center](https://kb.feedops.com/knowledge/learning-center?hsLang=en#google-merchant-center) - [Muzaara Bing Shopping Feed](https://kb.feedops.com/knowledge/muzaara-bing-shopping-feed?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Platform](https://kb.feedops.com/knowledge/muzaara-bing-shopping-feed?hsLang=en#platform) [![FeedOps ](https://kb.feedops.com/hs-fs/hubfs/60a5a09c9ca6b7064e3fac09_feedops-footer-logo.png?width=322&height=87&name=60a5a09c9ca6b7064e3fac09_feedops-footer-logo.png "FeedOps ")](http://feedops.com) Copyright © 2026, FeedOps
