Prepare a Product Catalogue Before Running Facebook Ads
Catalogue-based advertising relies on product information that can be reused across ads. The data needs an owner and a review process. Automation cannot repair a catalogue that points to the wrong variant, price or unavailable item.
Check current terminology and eligibility
Meta’s current documentation describes ads showing product media, previously called Advantage+ catalog ads. Review the requirements available to the account and market. An old dynamic-ad tutorial may use names or controls that no longer match the current interface.
Standardise the product record
Keep identifiers, titles, images, prices, stock and destination links consistent. Decide which business system owns those values and how corrections reach the catalogue. Preserve important variants so the advertisement does not show one item while the page selects another.
Review events and destinations
Test the relevant data connection and page journey using appropriate tools and permissions. Confirm what is being measured and avoid sending unnecessary personal information. A connection that reports activity does not prove that every product association is correct.
Inspect a bounded campaign
Begin with a manageable product group and review actual ads and resulting orders. Monitor rejected items, stale stock and incorrect links. Resolve data failures before expanding; otherwise the same error can appear across many automatically assembled placements.
