Market Places - Settings - Meta

Breadcrumb path: Market Places / Settings / Meta

This section of the guide will cover the Market Settings - Meta module. In order to use this module effectively, you must first sign up for a Facebook Business Account and then set up Meta Catalog (which uses the Meta Commerce Manager). For more information, you can view the help guide for Manage a Catalog in Facebook Meta Commerce Manager.

You can access this Build CMS page by clicking on Market Places from your main menu and then Settings from the dropdown menu. Next, click on Meta inside the frame to the right.

Market Settings - Meta Fundamental

This module enables you to map, manage, and generate product page (XML) data for your Meta Business account based on product information from your Build CMS Account. Once you add a product to Meta Catalog from Market Places - Products, its Settings can be managed from here.

After all the Settings have been adjusted to your preferences, you can Download the data manually, or have it channeled to your webpage as a Feed. You can also have it automatically exported on a specified interval schedule. That data can then be uploaded directly to your Meta Business account to create a product page in Meta Catalog.

This section will be separated into 6 parts:

• 1 General Settings.

• 2 File Generation.

• 3 Shipping Settings.

• 4 Mapping Settings.

• 5 Meta Product Category.
