New EZ Exporter Templates: Facebook and Pinterest Product Feeds

We've recently added two additional pre-built templates to EZ Exporter:

  • Product Data Feed for Facebook Catalogs
  • Product Data Feed for Pinterest Catalogs

We also have a pre-built template for a Google Shopping Feed available as well.

These two product feed templates are actually quite similar.  Both of these templates already have all the required fields configured and mapped to your Shopify data.

However, you may need to modify it slightly depending on your store's setup.  For example, if you don't use SKUs in your store, then you'll need to edit it to map the "id" field to a different Shopify field.

Facebook Product Feed

This product feed can be used in Dynamic Ads and Commerce.

Below are the required fields which are already configured in the pre-built template:

Attribute Description

id

Type: string

Required for dynamic ads and commerce.

Max character limit: 100

Unique ID for item. Can be a variant for a product. Use the SKU if you can. Enter each ID only once or the item won't upload. If there are multiple instances of the same ID, we ignore all instances. For dynamic ads, this ID must exactly match the content ID for the same item in your Facebook pixel.

Example: FB_tshirt_001

title

Type: string

Required for dynamic ads and commerce.

Max character limit: 150

A specific, relevant title for the item. Include keywords, such as brandattributes, or condition. Make sure that product titles satisfy catalog requirements.

Required for dynamic ads and commerce.

Max character limit: 5000

A short, relevant description of the item. Include specific or unique product features, such as like material or color. Don't include promotional text or any links. Use plain text and don't enter text in all capital letters. Ensure that product descriptions satisfy catalog requirements.

For commerce - To support HTML, use the rich_text_description.

We recommend that you include only one (1) currency in your catalog so customers don't see mixed currencies for products in your ads or commerce channels. To add product information and prices that will display for other countries or languages, upload a country feed or language feed to your catalog instead.

Example: 9.99 USD25.00 EUR
