1) In Facebook Business Manager select the catalog you wish to link your feed to.
2) Go to “Data sources” from the left-hand side menu which assuming you don't have any feeds there already, should show the following window in which you should select the Data feed option and press the Next button:
** in case some feeds already exist as a data source, its recommend to delete them since if you have more than 1 feed with the same items they might be conflicting (if you are connected using API e.g. Shopify directly, make sure to add our feed under new catalog instead and use that to prevent conflicts as you can't easily disconnect API based connections plus you want to keep it there for the pixel reasons), but in case you have some other feed and it has different items than the one you are trying to upload with your new feed, in order to see the window above, click on the + Add button and then select the Data file option:
3) Next, under Which platform is your file formatted for? - select the Commerce Manager and provide Feed URL under Use URL or Google Sheets:
** username and password should be kept empty unless you have explicitly added it on top.
4) The next window allows you to control your data source name (it's a name for your own reference), default currency and the update schedule. We recommend a daily update, with the time set a few minutes after the Source schedule you set up inside our system. You may need a more frequent schedule if you update your feed more often than once a day:
After that, you will be presented with a processing screen which you can close if needed, at that point schedule is being set and Facebook will keep processing all for you automatically.
** Please note, it's important to make sure you have Replace Schedule in place which is added by default by following the steps above. The reason Replace Schedule is needed is because it's the only type of schedule that will make sure that feed-deleted/excluded items will also get deleted from your Facebook catalog after processing your latest feed, you can make sure you have Replace Schedule in place set up for your source under Catalog > Data sources, click on your new source, then settings, in there you can see your feed and the schedule it has setup:
