How do I configure products to be excluded or included?

There are many ways to exclude/include products from your data feed.

To exclude groups of items, go to "Manage Feed > Product Exclusion Criteria". Add criteria like 'price < $1.00', 'title contains "gift certificate"', or 'department starts with "Clearance"'. Then go to the "Product List" to review the filtered and unfiltered items.

You can add a custom field to your Yahoo Store, like 'exclude-from-nextag' with values 'y' and 'n'. Add a catalog field to your feed for this custom field, and mark it disabled. Now, simply create an exclusion criteria like 'exclude-from-nextag = "y"'. This method allows you to exclude/include products directly from your Yahoo Store catalog.

To exclude individual items, find the item using "Product Search" or by sorting the "Product List". From the "View Product" page, click the Exclude/Include icons. (Click the help icon there for more information.) This method can be time-consuming if you have many products.

You can also manually remove items. Download your data feed file from the "Data Feed File" page, remove the items using a spreadsheet program, and then upload it manually. This is not recommended because you would have to repeat the manual clean-up every time you want to submit.

After making your changes, run a Submission task from "Submit a Processing Request" to update your products.
