What a Facebook Product Feed is
Facebook is considered the top social advertising channel by 72% of B2C marketers and 43% of B2B marketers. If you also leverage Facebook Dynamic Ads to offer your products to the right people and at the right time, you definitely thought of a tool to generate data feeds for the Facebook integration with Magento 2 shop.
A Facebook product feed is a file that contains data about all the items you want to advertise. It includes such information as unique IDs, pricing, stock availability presented in line with Facebook standards. Such feeds allow uploading products from Magento 2 to Facebook Product Catalog in bulk instead of handling them individually.
What you get with the extension:
Increase the number of purchases by promoting products on the worldwide social network
Boost the number of repeated purchases by accurately finding the target audience
Make your brand popular among millions of people and build trust among potential customers
Connect Magento 2 to Facebook Shop in 7 steps
Facebook accepts Google feeds as well as long as they meet their requirements. The Google Wizard included in the extension will minimize your efforts by guiding you through 6 stages of Magento 2 and Facebook integration.
1: Set up the basic settings
2: Include/exclude categories
3: Rename categories according to Google requirements
4: Specify product attributes to add to the file
5: Add optional info
6: Schedule the generation process
7: Upload your feed to the Google server automatically
Magento 2 Facebook Feed: Simplify File Generation
Generate feeds per store view
While generating a feed, you can specify the store view and base currency. Exclude disabled, not visible and out of stock products from the file to present only relevant info. This way, you can carefully plan how to use Facebook and Magento 2 store integration to promote your products worldwide.
Create files in different formats
This Magento extension allows creating feeds in a bunch of file formats, including XML, CSV, and compressed ZIP, BZ, and GZ files. For sure, all of them are supported by Facebook.
Work with all types of attributes
Using Magento Facebook Feed extension, you can add and manage all types of attributes. Pick custom prices and attribute values for each profile, attach product images, thumbnails and include GTIN (Global Trade Item Number) and MPN (Manufacturer Part Number) product attribute if needed. Flexibly manage attributes via modifiers.
Apply relevant price types
To connect Magento to Facebook, specify the necessary price type and decide whether to include or remove taxes. Round price values if needed.
Set the condition-based products export
As the Facebook ADS extension for Magento 2 can handle all types of products, you are free to choose any type (simple, virtual, bundle, configurable product, etc.) that you need to create conditions for feed generation. Also, you can include products in the feed with regard to their category and attributes.
Automate feed generation
The cron option allows you to deliver products automatically. Choose the most suitable time and frequency (hourly, daily, weekly, etc.) and let your catalog be always up-to-date without extra burden on webstore performance or your constant control. This way you can schedule price and availability updates of your profiles.
Leverage Google Analytics
Enable the connection with Google Analytics to get reports in your GA account. For this, you need just to fill UTM parameters in a special tab of the extension. Once ready, you can go straight to GA and keep monitoring your campaigns.
Submit feeds from Magento to Facebook via FTP/SFTP
Is your catalog updated often? Is your feed hosted on an FTP client? Consider linking Facebook catalog to your Magento 2 store and scheduling regular updates by configuring FTP/SFTP settings in the extension and Facebook Catalog Manager.
More than just for Facebook
It is likely that Facebook is not the only shopping engine that you use to advertise your products. With this module, there is no need to look for extra tools. The Magento 2 Facebook Product Feed extension provides settings and templates to generate data feeds for multiple engines, including Google, Bing, Shopping.com and others (using custom forms).GOOGLE SHOPPING: ONE MORE WAY TO BOOST SALES
Google Shopping is one of the biggest commercial platforms for promoting products. Previously, sellers needed to pay for using it, but in May 2020 Google announced that merchants can sell on the Google Shopping platform for free. As Facebook uses the same product feeds as Google, now you can widen your target audience without extra charges. Just use a ready-made feed for Google Merchant Center and make your offers visible on the most popular searching platform.
Additionally, Google is constantly expanding the partnership to widen merchants’ opportunities. For example, now business owners can connect their accounts to PayPal, and it’s only the beginning. Start using Google Shopping now and don’t miss the opportunity to grow your business with the Magento 2 Facebook extension.
