Sync Products to Facebook Catalog


Omega Feed supports two dynamic sync methods to distribute your Shopify products to Facebook Catalog:

  • API Sync (Recommended): Connects directly via Meta Conversions API for automated catalog synchronization and real-time status updates.
  • XML Feed: Generates a standardized feed URL for manual submission to Facebook Catalog or other supported platforms.
