# Product category included in product webhooks

As of `2024-10` version, the product create and update webhook payload contains information about the product category on a product.

The `category` field exposes a trimmed version of fields that are available on the Product GraphQL [response](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/2024-10/objects/Product#field-category).

To receive `category` in the webhook payload, specify version `2024-10` or newer as the webhook API version in your [App Partner Dashboard](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/webhooks/subscribe/use-newer-api-version#step-3-select-the-newer-api-version).
