How to connect my product catalog to the shop tab of my Facebook page?
If you already have created a catalog and you already have import products inside, you can connect it to the shop tab of your Facebook page, provided that this one isn't already connected to another product catalog.
Attention:
- Before following the procedure below, you must first check that you are admin of the Facebook page and of the catalog you want to connect to this page.
- Moreover, please note that only one catalog and then one language and one currency can be associated to the Facebook "Shop" native page tab. It's for now impossible to display the native "Shop" tab in several languages and several currencies. If you want to get a multilingual Facebook shop, the only solution today is to create a custom tab as our "Advanced Shop for Fan Page" module allows you. To know more, click here.
So, choose the catalog you want to connect to your Facebook page judiciously.
Now, follow the procedure below:
- On your Facebook Business Manager interface, click on the three horizontal bars of the menu, hover over the "All Tools" words and click on "Catalogs":
- Click the name of the catalog you want to connect to the shop tab:
- In the "Diagnostics" tab, in the "More Ways to Use Your Catalog" part, click the arrow of the "Facebook Page Shop" section:

- Select the currency of the Facebook shop prices (be careful it will no longer be possible to change it, unless you restart from scratch by deleting your Facebook shop and the link with the product catalog and by recreating them). Of course, the currency has to be the same as that of the products in the catalog. Finally, click "Create Shop" to create the shop tab on your page:

If after one day the products are not displayed yet, go to the "publication tools" of your page and click the "Products" tab of the "Shop" section. Your products should be listed. Click a product and close the pop-up, this shoulf trigger the verification of your products by Facebook and your products should be displayed in few minutes in the shop.
