The Product Category feed types allow merchants to create their own products. These feed types are more complex but give absolute control of any attributes per category. We recommend setting up the Amazon product feed connection just for a few products. Upload the product feed via API to Amazon, check and fix the errors and re-upload the feed again. When the connection is fully set and adjusted, you can export the full catalog.

1. Set up your product feed
