Inventory should be uploaded to Facebook using a catalog. For each catalog, a product feed should be provided in one of the supported formats: CSV, TSV, RSS XML, ATOM XML, or Google Sheets.
Format | Description |
---|---|
CSV | Comma-separated value. Works with most spreadsheet programs. The first row specifies the column header. Subsequent rows supply the corresponding values for each route. Fields containing whitespace or commas should be enclosed in "double quotes". A double quote inside a double-quoted field must be escaped with two consecutive double quotes. Example: Nested or multi-value fields, such as image, can be represented using JSON-encoded values or by a set of "flattened" plain-text columns labeled using JSON-path syntax. Example: Both conventions can be used interchangeably in the same file. See examples for CSV feed for Advantage+ catalog ads and CSV feed for commerce.

Catalog fields are instrumental to the quality of the experience for customers buying products on your Shop on Facebook or Instagram.
Catalog fields are used to populate the Product Details page for each item. This includes important information, such as the product description, images, size/color variants, price, and availability. Missing or bad data can negatively affect the user experience, impact conversion to purchases, or could be misleading and erode trust.
The following table defines the fields used to create a catalog, including the requirement level (required vs. optional). For best practice column-naming conventions, use U.S. English for all fields.
Each field in your data feed represents information about your products. All field names and certain supported values must be in US English. The following fields are required for each product in your catalog. Note: If any required fields are missing or formatted incorrectly, products may not upload to your catalog.
Attribute and Type | Description |
---|---|
Type: string | Max character limit: 100 A unique content ID for the item. Use the item's SKU if possible. Each content ID must appear only once in your catalog. If there are multiple instances of the same ID, we ignore all instances. Note: For dynamic ads, this ID must exactly match the content ID for the same item in your Meta Pixel. Example: This field is required for supplementary feeds. Each item’s content ID must exactly match in the supplementary feed and the main feed it’s linked to. This indicates it’s the same item in both feeds. |

We have provided a JSON schema download of all catalog main fields and category fields here:
Please note that this JSON schema is not an uploadable feed format, but rather provided as an alternative reference for feed fields, examples, and data types other than what already exists in our documentation. The schema is primarily meant for developers who are seeking to programmatically align internal category and field mapping with Meta’s catalog schema. Please defer to the feed formatting elsewhere in this documentation for uploadable feeds.
All fields under the common
key will be main fields. Otherwise, the category name will be the parent key. Each field’s format follows this example:
"item_group_id": { "description": "Use this field to create variants of the same item. Enter the same group ID for all variants within a group. Learn more about variants: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/business\/help\/2256580051262113 Character limit: 100.", "example": "K456653443", "type": "String", "required": false, "recommended": false },
Note that only category-specific fields will have a "recommended": true
value (as they are all optional otherwise), in order to best understand prioritization.
