9. **Categories** are not available for Awin, so there is no need for you to categorize your items.
10. Create [different **Rules**](https://app.gitbook.com/s/u8whzIfip72Kvn3M1bsc/rules-bulk-edit-and-enrich/using-rules) to optimize your product data.&#x20;
11. Link the right fields in the [**Mapping** step](https://helpcenter.channable.com/list-advertise/list-on-channels/set-up-a-feed/set-up-a-feed-mapping-step).

**Tip:** For a description of the channel fields, hover over the gray question mark icons with your cursor. Make sure to at least fill in all the mandatory fields, which are blue.
{% endhint %}

12. Check your feed in the [**Quality**](https://helpcenter.channable.com/list-advertise/list-on-channels/set-up-a-feed/set-up-a-feed-quality-step) and [**Preview**](https://helpcenter.channable.com/list-advertise/list-on-channels/set-up-a-feed/set-up-a-feed-preview-and-export-step) steps. If there are any errors for mandatory fields, solve these first by optimizing your product data with rules and/or connecting the right fields in the **Mapping** step. Repeat if needed.

When your Awin feed is all setup, activate the feed in the *Settings* tab of the feed and run it. You will now see a URL in the *Preview* step. You can use this URL to upload the feed into your Awin account.
