Why connect Etsy to Instagram Shopping via a feed

• Automate product sync and updates across your catalog (titles, prices, images, availability)
• Tag products in posts, reels, and stories to drive traffic directly to your listings
• Show products in your Instagram and Facebook Shops without manual maintenance
• Scale easily as your shop grows

What you need before you start

• A Facebook Business account at business.facebook.com
• Your Facebook Page and Instagram account linked to your Business account
• Your Instagram account switched to a business or professional account
• Access to your Etsy Shop Manager
• A live catalog feed URL (you will generate this with Catalog Generator)

Step-by-step: Connect Etsy listings to Instagram Shopping without manual uploads

1) Verify your Etsy shop domain in Business settings

• Go to business.facebook.com and open Business settings
• Navigate to Brand Safety and Suitability, then Domains
• Click Add and enter your Etsy shop domain. Use your shop’s slug from its URL and append .etsy.com. For example, your-shop-name.etsy.com
• Copy the HTML meta tag provided
• In Etsy Shop Manager, go to Settings, then Facebook Shops
• Paste the meta tag and connect
• Return to Business settings and click Verify

2) Generate your live product feed URL with Catalog Generator

• Visit the app: catalog-generator.webyze.com
• Create an account or log in, then connect your Etsy shop
• The app generates a catalog feed URL for your listings. Copy that URL

3) Add the data feed URL in Commerce Manager

• From business.facebook.com, open Commerce Manager
• If you do not have a catalog yet, create one, then open it
• Go to Catalog, then Data sources, and click Add items
• Choose Data feed

• Select Use a URL so your products always stay synced
• Paste the Catalog Generator URL
• Set an automatic schedule (daily is perfect) and save

Commerce Manager will fetch all your Etsy listings and populate your catalog. This can take several minutes depending on your inventory size.

4) Submit your shop domain for approval

• In Commerce Manager, open Settings, then Catalog
• Under Not submitted, submit your verified domain
• Once approved, you can tag products that redirect shoppers to your Etsy listing pages

5) Start tagging products in posts, reels, and stories

• Create a post or story and tap Tag products
• Search your synced items, tag them, and publish
• Shoppers can tap the tag and land on your Etsy product page to purchase
