Sometimes you don’t want your feed to include every product category. Maybe you sell electronics and clothing but only want to advertise clothing on a specific channel. CTX Feed lets you include or exclude specific product categories from any feed in just a few clicks.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1 — Open the Filter Tab

Go to your Feed Configuration page and click on the “Filter” tab. This is where all product filtering options are located.

Step 2 — Find the Categories Option

Within the Filter tab, locate the “Categories” section. You’ll see two dropdown fields — one for selecting your categories and one for choosing the condition.

Step 3 — Select Your Categories and Condition

Use the first dropdown to select the product categories you want to work with. Then use the second dropdown to choose your condition:

  • Include — Only products from your selected categories will appear in the feed.
  • Exclude — Products from your selected categories will be removed from the feed.

Step 4 — Generate the Feed

Click Generate Feed. Your feed will now reflect the category filter you’ve set — either showing only the included categories or hiding the excluded ones.

  1. Like many big stores, we have over 70 categories.
    How to only display 1 of the many categories? Because adding 69 categories to the filter is problematic.

    Also, the Advanced Filters > Product Category / Parent Category / Parent Category ID / Product Category URL all seem to not work and the error code is “No Products Founds using your filter”. Please help!

  2. Hi, is it also possible to include 2 categories and exclude one or more sub category from it?
    Like –
    include: machines
    exclude: machines –> spare parts

    thank you

      1. Hi, I need to do the same as above but the issue I am facing is that it excludes the products.

        For example the same product appears in (machines) and it appears in sub category (spare parts). If I exclude (spare parts) it removes all of the products even if I put the primary category to include.

        include: machines
        exclude: machines –> spare parts

        The only thing I need to do is to reduce the number of categories that shows as there is many showing but not exclude the products.
