- Item category 3: Third-level product category
- Item category 4: Fourth-level product category
- Item category 5: Fifth-level product category
- Item promotion name: Name of the product promotion
- Item promotion creative slot: Location of the product promotion creative

Custom Item-Scoped Dimensions
In addition to predefined dimensions, GA4 allows the creation of custom item-scoped dimensions. This flexibility enables advertisers to track and analyze specific product attributes that are relevant to their business needs. Custom item-scoped dimensions can be defined using event parameters.
Benefits of Item-Scoped Dimensions
- Enhanced audience targeting: Businesses can create more granular and effective audience segments based on product-level data.
- Deeper customer insights: Businesses can gain a deeper understanding of customer behavior and preferences at the product level.
- Improved personalization: Businesses can personalize marketing campaigns and product recommendations based on individual customer preferences.
