    Hi Jorge, Calvin from the Product team here!

    Thanks for this request and for sending over the API docs. Currently, we use Shopify's REST API for the Product table and are unable to sync the 'product_category' field. Can you please elaborate on your use case with the 'product_category' field?

    It looks like a similar field, 'product_type', is being synced - is this field sufficient?

    Thanks for the reply Calvin. We want to use both the product category and the type. In our case a category would be something like 'hair care' or 'skin care' where as the type would be things like 'shampoo', 'conditioner', 'serum' or 'night cream'.

    Basically a two tier categorisation is only possible with two fields. Of course, we can do this outside of Shopify by storing these values in a custom table in the data warehouse but it's clunkier because a user creating a product has to go to two places to add the information.

    Hey Jorge, thanks for the explanation.

    As an additional update - we are looking to provide support the Shopify's GraphQL API for the Product endpoint in the coming quarter. Once we add this functionality, I'll be sure to include 'product_category' as an additional field.

    I'll update here once I have a more concrete timeline to share.
