The following instructions will guide 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 Catalogues and then click + Add.
Note: Admin access will be required for anyone planning to add/update a catalogue.
3. Select Create a new catalogue, or Request access to a catalogue if you're requesting access to an existing catalogue, and follow the on-screen instructions.
4. If you select Create a new catalogue, start by assigning a name to it, then select Type > Vehicles. Click Create 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.

• If you have a catalogue, and you're breaking it into multiple feeds, make sure that the same item (product, hotel, vehicle etc.) belongs to the same feed every time. Do not randomly assign the same item to different feeds each day.
• We recommend that you enter a feed URL and schedule either hourly, daily or weekly upload frequencies in order to automatically keep your catalogue up to date. 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 as often as your product inventory changes. Most advertisers have found an hourly update to be sufficient. If you need more frequent updates, you can connect to the API directly 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 Data 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.

1. In the assets menu, click on Catalogues.
2. Select your catalogue.
3. Click on Catalogue settings in the top menu.
4. At event sources, click on Edit.
5. Assign pixels and apps to your catalogue.

Note: If you are a developer, visit Facebook for Developers for more information on associating your pixel with your catalogue via Business Manager or the API.

A vehicle set is a list of inventory in a catalogue that you can use to advertise. Each catalogue can have more than one vehicle set. For example, you can create a vehicle set of all the saloons in your catalogue and a separate vehicle set for all the SUVs in your catalogue. Vehicle sets are defined by certain filters in a catalogue and are created when you set up your ad campaign. Please refer to the catalogue above to find the specific fields that you can create a vehicle set with.

Note: Only catalogue admins can create vehicle sets.

To create a vehicle set:

1. Go to Catalogue Manager.
2. Choose the catalogue that will contain your new vehicle set.
3. In the top navigation bar, click Vehicle sets.
4. Click Create Vehicle Set. A window appears where you can add filters for your catalogue.
5. Enter a name for your vehicle set.
6. Use the drop-down menus to apply filters to your vehicle set.
7. Click Create.

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.

Try the Product Feed Debug Tool.
