Create a Catalog
A catalog is a container that holds information about all the items you want to advertise or sell on Facebook and Instagram. You can connect your catalog to different types of ads and sales channels to promote your items, including dynamic ads, Facebook Shops and more.
Note: Where possible, we recommend that you keep all your items in one catalog instead of creating multiple catalogs. Learn more about using one catalog.
Before you begin
- Create a Facebook Page for your business if you don't have one yet.
- Set up Business Manager so you can assign your catalog to your business.
Create a catalog
To create a new catalog:
- Go to Commerce Manager.
- Start creating your catalog:
- If this will be your first catalog, click Get Started. Select Create a Catalog and then click Get Started.
- If you already have at least one catalog, you'll see all your catalogs listed. Select + Add Catalog to create a new one.
- Select the type of inventory you sell and click Next.
- If you selected Ecommerce (products), select how you want to add items to your catalog:
- Select Upload Product Info to add items yourself.
- Select Connect Ecommerce Platform if you host your products on a partner platform. You may not need to create a catalog here if your platform has an integration with Facebook to import products. Learn more about importing items from partner platforms.
- Select the Business Manager account or personal account that your catalog belongs to. You'll need to select a business account to unlock most channels to use your catalog and to assign other people permissions to work on the catalog. You must be an admin of the Business Manager account to select it.
- Enter a name for your catalog.
- Click Create.
You've created a new catalog.
Now you can add your items. There are several ways to add items to a catalog. Compare methods to choose the best option for you.
