Benefits of Creating a Facebook Catalog
Facebook's Commerce Manager is a great tool built by Facebook to help you sell and promote products through a Facebook shop.
With the help of our Catalog Generator you can automate the creation of a data feed for the Facebook Catalog Manager (a component of their Commerce Manager).
- To learn more about Facebook's Commerce Manager, check out their article about Commerce Manager
- To learn about integrating the data feed we create for you, with Facebook Catalog Manager, read their article how to upload items to a catalog with a data feed in Commerce Manager
- The creation of your Facebook shop (via their Commerce Manager) is free. If you have some marketing budget, you can also promote your FB shop products on Facebook, using their Ads Manager.
