This comprehensive step-by-step guide will walk you through the process of syncing your Etsy listings with your Facebook Shop using the Catalog Generator Etsy app. Let’s get started!

Why Sync Etsy Listings With Facebook & Instagram Shop?

Linking your Etsy shop directly to your Facebook and Instagram Shop increases visibility and allows you to:

• Tag products in posts and stories, letting customers shop directly from social media.
• Drive highly targeted traffic from Facebook and Instagram directly to your Etsy listings.
• Update catalogs automatically whenever you add or modify Etsy products—no more manual uploads!
• Increase engagement and conversions by making shopping seamless.

What You Need

• An Etsy shop with active listings
• A Facebook Business Manager account
• A Facebook page and Instagram business account
• The Catalog Generator Etsy app

Step 1: Set Up Your Facebook Business Manager

If you haven’t yet, head over to business.facebook.com to create your Facebook Business Manager account. Ensure your Facebook Page and Instagram account are linked to this Business Manager. This is essential for running shops across both platforms.

Step 2: Verify Your Etsy Domain in Facebook

1. Navigate to Business Settings → Brand Safety → Domains.
2. Click Add and enter your Etsy shop’s domain (format: yourshopname.etsy.com).
3. Copy the verification Meta tag provided by Facebook.
4. In your Etsy Shop Manager, go to Settings → Facebook Shops and paste the Meta tag.
5. Return to Facebook Business Manager and click Verify.

This step tells Facebook that you’re authorized to link your shop domain to their commerce system.

Step 3: Install the Catalog Generator Etsy App

1. Visit the Catalog Generator website.
2. Sign up for an account and connect your Etsy shop.
3. The app will generate a unique Catalog Data Feed URL for your shop listings.

Step 4: Set Up Your Catalog in Facebook Commerce Manager

1. Go to the Facebook Commerce Manager.
2. Create a new account if necessary, or open your existing shop.
3. Inside the Commerce Manager, navigate to Catalog → Data Sources.
4. Click Add Items and select Data Feed.
5. Choose "Use a URL" for your feed source (so listings stay updated automatically). Paste the Catalog Generator URL here.
6. Specify your update schedule (daily updates recommended).

Step 5: Submit Domain For Approval and Start Tagging Products

1. In Commerce Manager, go to Settings → Catalog.
2. Under Unnot Submitted, submit your Etsy domain for approval.
3. Once approved, you can start tagging your Etsy products in Facebook and Instagram posts, stories, and your shop tabs.
