How to list products on Facebook Shops #
Step 1: Select products #
To create a new draft listing, first, go to All products from the left sidebar menu.
From here, choose the items you want to list on your channels.
After that, click List products on a channel, then choose Facebook.
The system will then create draft listings on your channel page and redirect you to it. Along with that, you will see a notification Draft listings successfully created. Now you can freely customize your listings before going live.
Step 2: Edit draft listings #
You can apply Facebook Shops templates and recipes to multiple listings to edit them in bulk. From the left sidebar menu, go to your Facebook Shops channel under the Listing section. Select Facebook Shops listings you want to apply templates to by checking the boxes, and click Apply a template.
To edit your listings in detail, simply click on the title of the listing you want to edit.
On the editing page, you can see 6 tabs in total including Vital Info, Product Identifiers, Images, Pricing, Category, and Shipping.
After making all necessary changes to your listing, click on one of three buttons on the bottom right corner to save.
- Save & Publish: Save changes and publish listing live immediately on Facebook Shops.
- Save & Close: Save changes and close. The listing will be saved as draft.
- Save Changes: Save changes and stay at the editing page.
Note: If you edit an active Facebook Shops listing and save without publishing changes, you can update changes to Facebook Shops later by going to the Active tab on your Facebook Shops listing page, select listings and click Select Action > Update to Facebook Shops.
Step 3: Publish listings on Facebook Shops #
After you have configured your draft listings, you can publish them on your channel by selecting Publish to Facebook Shops.
When the listings are published on your channel, they will be removed from the Drafts tab and switched to Active tab.
Step 4: Manage active Facebook Shops listings #
First, go to a Channel from the left-side menu bar and click on the Facebook Shops channel.
From here, switch to the Active tab to manage your Facebook Shops listings.
