Category Mapping

Once your feed is loaded, you’ll see the Category Mapping section:

  • Total Categories: Shows how many product categories are in your feed
  • Mapped: Displays successfully mapped categories
  • Unmapped: Shows categories that need attention

To Map Categories:

  1. Click “Map Categories”
  2. Review the mapping interface
  3. Assign each product category to the appropriate AWIN category
  4. Ensure all categories are mapped (aim for 0 unmapped categories)

Feed Status & Monitoring

Your feed dashboard shows:

  • Feed Health: Visual indicator of feed performance
  • Feed Status: Current operational status
  • Last Checked: When the feed was last processed
  • Last Modified: When feed settings were updated
  • Schema: Feed schedule and timing information

Pro Tips:

  • Use descriptive feed names for easy identification
  • Schedule multiple daily updates for dynamic inventory
  • Monitor the “Feed Health” indicator regularly
  • Ensure all categories are mapped to avoid product exclusions
  • Test your feed URL before saving to prevent errors

The system will automatically process your feed according to the schedule, and you can track performance through the feed dashboard.

Note: It can take a few hours for products to show in the AWIN dashboard.
