Facebook Catalog

Category: Marketing  ·  Type: Free first-party

Auto-generate a Facebook/Instagram product feed (XML) for your store. Just copy the feed URL into Facebook Commerce Manager.

Why install

Running Facebook/Instagram dynamic ads or Advantage+ Catalog campaigns? You need a product feed in Facebook's format. Without this add-on, you'd build it yourself.

With it, your feed is auto-generated, auto-updated, and Facebook re-fetches it daily.

Features

  • Auto-generated XML feed at yourstore.dzbuild.com/feed/facebook.xml
  • Auto-updates when products change
  • Includes images, prices, stock, variants
  • Optional language filter (?lang=ar, ?lang=fr)
  • Per-store or per-category feeds

How to use

  1. Install + activate from Dashboard → Add-ons → Facebook Catalog.
  2. Marketing → Facebook Catalog → copy the feed URL.
  3. In Facebook Commerce Manager:
    • Create catalog → "Use product feed"
    • Paste the URL
    • Set update frequency to Daily
    • Save
  4. Connect catalog to your Page + Pixel.
  5. (Optional) Match products with the Pixel — Commerce Manager → Match catalog.

What's in the feed

For each product:

FieldSource
idProduct ID + variant suffix
titleProduct name (per language)
descriptionProduct description
availabilityin stock or out of stock
conditionnew (default)
priceSale price in DZD
linkStorefront URL
image_linkCover image URL
additional_image_linkGallery URLs
brandStore name
google_product_categoryMapped from your category
item_group_idSame for all variants of one product

Best practices

  • Pixel + Catalog must match — same products, same IDs.
  • Don't change product slugs after the catalog is connected — Facebook treats new URL as new product.
  • Set good descriptions — Facebook uses them in the ad creative.
  • Run at least one Catalog ad before scaling — verify everything tracks.
