How to create advanced exclusion rules?

Advanced exclusion rules let you remove products from the feed according to criteria you choose.

1. Create the rule

  1. In the module configuration, open Feed management > Product exclusion rules, then the Advanced exclusion section.
  2. Click Add exclusion rule.
  3. Activate the rule and give it a name that will help you find it, for example Exclude three notebooks.

Important: if you change About products with combinations after creating your rules, you must delete the rules and create them again. Exclusion handling depends on whether you export products by combination.

2. Choose the exclusion criterion

Under Exclusion based on, choose one of the four available criterion types:

For example, to exclude only three notebooks, choose A specific product or combination and add the three products to the list. Check your selection, then click Add this rule.

3. Check and validate

  1. Open the first summary section to check the criterion and selected items.
  2. Open the distinct products affected section to review the products excluded. Check their names and IDs before validating.

In the example below, the list contains three notebooks:

Example list of products affected by a rule: three notebooks to check before validation.

Click Validate to save the rule. Repeat these steps for your other rules.

From the rules list, you can then activate, deactivate, edit or delete rules and view the affected products.
