Browse to Business Settings in the Facebook Commerce Manager Navigate to Data Sources → Catalogs in the left-hand menu: Click Add and choose the Create a New Catalog option: Give your catalog a name (we recommend "Fourthwall Products") and click Create Catalog: Facebook will prompt you about permissions. We recommend giving yourself and all other admins on your team the Full control to Manage catalog permissions. Then click Assign: Next, Facebook will ask you which Tracking Pixel that you wish to use. If you previously created a Meta Pixel (used for tracking & retargeting within Facebook network ads), choose that here and click Save. Otherwise, click Cancel. (Note: Can you always create this pixel later and connect it afterwards): Once your catalog is created, click the option to Add Items: Next, select the Add Items dropdown and choose Add Multiple Items: Choose the Data feed option and click Next: When prompted, select Yes that you are ready to upload your spreadsheet or file and click Next: On the Choose file step, select the Use a URL option up top: In the RSS, replace your-shop with your actual Fourthwall shop path from admin dashboard (this is required and will not work otherwise): https://your-shop.fourthwall.com/.well-known/merchant-center/rss.xml Paste this into the form below and click Next when done: Set the feed to use the following schedule: Hourly and repeating Every 6 hours.
