Is there a plugin to sync products to the facebook store?

Is there a plugin to sync products to the facebook store?
There are more than 10,000 products in my zencart store. Is there any plug-in that can directly sync the data to the facebook store.

You need some things:

It's a bit challenging to accomplish. I recommend doing a manual upload first to speed the process along.

I have tried manual uploading is too inefficient.
I found that the shopify system can automatically sync products to the facebook store.
Does zencart have such a plugin?
Or import the batch table directly through a third-party platform.

Shopify adding via sync is the same issue as any platform. Facebook adds them as people click links from your pages. So for example, after 4 month of my working pixel on one of my sites, only 248 of the 18K products were on Facebook. This is why I provided the instructions as I did.

You need some things:

  • Create a Catalog
  • Facebook Pixel
  • Microdata
  • Time
  • Patience

Re: Is there a plugin to sync products to the facebook store?

And as Melanie said, to do a manual upload, she didn't say manually enter each and every item... With a single Internet search I was able to identify that a properly formatted csv file can be uploaded to facebook to populate the catalog and then as frequently as once an hour (without special requests) the catalog can be automatically updated... What I saw as the most challenging thing was ensuring that the image dimensions were properly referenced, accurate, and met the requirements. Here is the link that I found to format the file(s) for a standard eCommerce site: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/marketing-api/catalog-feed-setup#da-commerce

My apologies Melanie if that link is/was in your previous post(s), I didn't dig into them from a "users" perspective.

You will have to read the documentation and follow the steps on Facebook....

chadlly2003:

try this https://www.ecommercebrowser.com/info/resources/setup/ZenCart

This appears to be a paid plugin... being a free trial (https://www.ecommercebrowser.com/info/prices%29? Maybe I'm misreading something?

Re: Is there a plugin to sync products to the facebook store?

Is there a facebook dynamic ad plugin in the forum?
I use the zen cart system to place Facebook dynamic ads.
But facebook ads need to get product information and order information.
Is there such a plugin in the forum?
Urgent needs

The screenshot below is the information you need to obtain for the successful payment order.

Re: Is there a plugin to sync products to the facebook store?

Not sure if this is helpful but I wrote a quick PHPMyAdmin SQL query to take care of my needs - exporting to CSV in the format FB wants. Thought I'd share in case it helped anyone.
