The following instructions will walk you through how to create a catalogue in Business Manager. Bear in mind that you can also create your catalogue from Ads Manager.

To upload a catalogue to Facebook Business Manager:
1. In your Business Manager, click Business settings in the top-right.
2. Under the People and assets tab on the right-hand side, select Product catalogues, then click Add New Product Catalogue.
Note: Admin access will be required for anyone planning to add/update a catalogue.
3. Select Create a new product catalogue, or Request access to a product catalogue if you're requesting access to an existing catalogue, and follow the on-screen instructions.
4. If you select Create a new product catalogue, start by assigning a name to it, then select Type > Hotels. Click Create Product Catalogue when you're ready.

5. Decide whether you want to give people access to your catalogue and/or pixel, or skip this and click OK.

   Now that your catalogue has been created, you can upload your data feed.

• We recommend that you enter a feed URL and schedule uploads either hourly, daily or weekly in order to keep your product catalogue up to date automatically. This helps you avoid showing ads for out-of-stock inventory and automatically add new inventory as your catalogue changes.
• To represent your inventory accurately, you should update your data feeds (hotel feed and room and pricing feed) as often as your product inventory changes. Please note that if you are using the optional room and pricing feed, we recommending updating this feed more frequently (at least once a day). Most advertisers have found that hourly updates are sufficient. If you need more frequent updates, you can either connect to the API directly or work with a Facebook Marketing Partner to enable more frequent updates.
• In some cases, you may have to make changes to the encoding and delimiter settings. For example, for catalogues that use quotes (") in their description column, you may need to tick the quoted fields checkbox. Work with your feed management provider to understand the settings that are necessary for your catalogue.

• Depending on the size of your file, your catalogue may take several minutes to one hour to upload. When it successfully uploads, it will appear in your Business Manager on the product catalogues page.
• On the catalogues page, you can see when the feed was last updated, how many products were added, removed or updated, and how many errors occurred.
• You may receive several warnings or errors the first time you upload your catalogue. Warnings are recommendations for things to fix to improve the quality of your ads. Errors indicate that a feed was not processed and that you need to fix your feed before proceeding.
• If you already have a catalogue and need to make an update, find your existing catalogue in Business Manager in the Hotel feeds section. Click the name of the data feed and select Upload Now.

• You may be asked to associate your Facebook pixel or app to your catalogue. This is necessary in cases where your business has more than one catalogue, Facebook pixel or app. Associating your pixel or app tells Facebook which pixel or app will match which catalogue. Learn how.

A hotel set is a set of inventory in a catalogue that you advertise in your dynamic ads for travel. When you create a hotel set, you use filters (such as availability, brand or price) to define what goes into the hotel set. Each catalogue can have multiple hotel sets; alternatively, you can create a hotel set featuring all of your listings. Hotel sets are defined by filters in a catalogue and are created at campaign setup.

Note: Only catalogue admins can create hotel sets.

To create a hotel set:

1. Go to www.facebook.com/products.
2. Choose the catalogue that will contain your new hotel set.
3. Click Product sets.
4. Click Create New Product Set. A window appears where you can add filters for your catalogue.
5. Enter a name for your hotel set.
6. Use the drop-down menus to apply filters to your hotel set. For example, if you want to create a hotel set for all 4 and 5-star hotel rooms greater than £100, then select the drop-down menus Price and Category, then enter the appropriate values into the text field. The filters then match the column names and inventory from your catalogue, then use that hotel set to advertise those properties in a specific ad campaign.

   Note: Try and include all of your hotels in your hotel set as filtering to small hotel sets will limit delivery.

The Product Feed Debug Tool allows you to paste in a product feed and validate the feed for errors and warnings without creating an upload session or adding products to your product catalogue. This is helpful in the early stages of integration when you don't have a product catalogue and haven't fully flushed out a feed yet. You can just paste in your test feed, detect the errors and warnings and ensure that the feed format is correct before actually setting it up for all your products.
