How Does Shop Page Work on Facebook?

If you’re selling online already, it makes sense to take it a step further and setup a shop page on Facebook. This is where you’ll need a catalog, let’s clear up what it is and how it works.

According to Facebook, “a Facebook catalog is a container that holds information about the items you want to advertise or sell across Facebook and Instagram. You can create catalogs for different types of inventory, like products (ecommerce), hotels, flights, destinations, home listings or vehicles.”

For now, we’ll stick to creating a product catalog for e-commerce. Once you add products to your catalog, you’re able to sell across multiple channels, including Instagram. This will allow you to show and sell products directly to people on Facebook. Customers can purchase from the shop page with a seamless checkout experience.

Before you begin, you’ll want to review Facebook’s Merchant Terms and check to make sure your products align with the Commerce Policies.

How Do I Get a Product Catalog on Facebook?

As we mentioned there are a number of ways, but the easiest way is to start with an e-commerce platform. You’ll upload your catalog to Ecwid and use the integration to make the transition seamless. And be on your way to selling on Facebook! Here is how:
