How To Set Up Product Catalogs For Facebook and Instagram

[@Scorpionwins23]

Great video, the LYFE Marketing videos are so comprehensive. Thank you!

[@LYFEMarketingAtlanta]

We appreciate it!

[@luckyking42]

Facebook makes the process so confusing it's beyond crazy when I was putting down my information it seems like Facebook spread my information to other pages making the process way more complicated. And the bizarre thing is I was only using my main business page I didn't use any other page to add products. And for some strange reason my main page is a business page which makes no sense.

[@LYFEMarketingAtlanta]

Where specifically in the process are you having trouble?

[@luckyking42]

@@LYFEMarketingAtlanta Great question and it's a little complicated but I'll try to explain the best word that I can. I have multiple accounts on Facebook but I only have one business account It seemed like when I was applying my information. The information spread out to Different accounts Even though I was simply using my business account. At first I was thinking 🤔 maybe this is the norm But I had to quickly realize it wasn't normal. And I also believe I use some of your strategy on Facebook as well which did help to certain extent. But it's still very complicated if you could please help me Would much appreciate that.

I'm having serious issues establishing variants from data feed source...if I add them manually the variants will no longer be automated and will require manual monitoring and editing - help.

[@LYFEMarketingAtlanta]

Hey there! What website is your store built on, Shopify?

[@jodipaterson9739]

whilst I find learning all this information similar to being moved to another planet- but you made it simple and clear- greatly appreciated

[@LYFEMarketingAtlanta]

Glad it was helpful!

[@natesha1449]

This is 2 year but very helpful. I am about to move on to watch the one where you said how to set up a shop. I am hoping that video will help me because I tried a couple of times but it says "not available in my region" and I am in the Caribbean...am still hoping your video has a work around.

[@koawhkaine]

I have a Shopify store , used an integration that pushes those products over to Facebook store. So step 1, do I use create shop instead of catalogue? Trying to figure out how to mAke Facebook ad that links directly to the store item on fb without making consumer go back to Shopify website. Thanks

[@LYFEMarketingAtlanta]

Try "create shop!"

[@triciagunberg5265]

1:50 …. Woah, unpack that please…’if you can integrate with Facebook’…. How do we figure this piece out?

[@LYFEMarketingAtlanta]

If you use a popular sales platform like Shopify for example, there's usually an easy way to connect your store to your Meta accounts that doesn't involve heavy coding.

I'm trying to add an item to a catalog and it's asking for a link to a website. I do not have a website. Just my facebook personal and business page. Do i link to my business page?

[@LYFEMarketingAtlanta]

You may have to enter things manually if you don't have a website for Facebook to pull product info from.

This was very helpful, thank you! I do not have a website currently, do I need one to use the datafeed from a Google Sheet?

[@LYFEMarketingAtlanta]

Great to hear! You do not need a website in order to use the datafeed.

[@gregnasso1920]

@@LYFEMarketingAtlanta On the template I downloaded from facebook, it listed the company website and a URL for a photo of my product as required fields. I haven't tried leaving them blank yet... Would that be your recommendation?

[@gregnasso1920]

FYI - leaving them blank does not work. I've tried using Google Photos or Google Drive, but those URLs do not allow Facebook to fetch the photo for some reason.

[@JoseDiaz-we4bj]

​@@gregnasso1920hi did you manage to enter the photos somehow? If you did, pls let me know how, I am struggling with this too

[@OnlyZards]

Hey awesome video! I have a question tho maybe you can help me with. Whenever I'm trying to add items to the catalog it's saying I need to add a website. It's not optional for some reason.

There are products in the Instagram store that I need to remove, but I don’t know how. It also shows the approved website. I need to update the catalogue, but when I click on update the catalogue link, it goes to my Facebook, but not the correct catalogue for these items. How do I fix this? Would really appreciate your help. Thank you.

Thanks for the video. Just one question, So if I don't have my own homepage for those products , am I now allowed to use facebook catalog?

[@LYFEMarketingAtlanta]

You will need a facebook page in order to create a catalog!!

Hello 👋 Please i want to ask is it possible to setup Facebook and Instagram shop and add your products image later.
