# How To Use Category Filter When Generating Product Feed

In this [PFM](https://rextheme.com/best-woocommerce-product-feed) guide, you will learn how you can use the Category filter to generate product feed with your desired product category only.

Normally, when you create a new feed, by default, there are no filters applied by default. It is set up to add **All Published Products**.

However, you might wish to include only certain desired product category in the feed.

In that case, you may choose to use a **Category Filter**, i.e., you will choose products based on their categories.

## **Using Category Filter**

Follow the steps below to use Category Filter properly.

**1.** Click on the **Product Filter** button.

Once you click on the **Product Filter** button, the Product Filter drawer will slide out from the right side of the window.

By default, it is set to **All Published Products**. Click on the dropdown menu.

Here, choose **Category Filter**.

Then all the product categories in your store will be listed here with checkboxes beside them.

**2.** Select the categories you desire to include in your Feed.

**3.** Next configure the feed and publish it.

You will see that the feed includes only the products that fall under the categories you selected using Category Filter.

**We advise that you only use this filter if you want to include products from more than one category.

**If you want to include products from one particular category only, then it’s better to use a custom filter.

That’s how easily you can use the category filter when generating product feed.
