Find new potential customers with a conversions ad
Create a campaign using the conversions objective to attract new shoppers to your website. You can create audiences that look similar to people who have taken actions that you care about (such as making a purchase) and find new potential customers.
Your product set should contain the products that you want to promote. It could be something like "Items for New Year" or "All pink products" or just "All products". If you don't have a pixel or app event, you'll see instructions for creating one.
- Go to Ads Manager.
- Click Create Ad.
- Select Conversions as your marketing objective.
- Type in a campaign name and click Continue.
Choose the website or app that you want to promote and select a conversion pixel or app event.
Tip: We recommend choosing an event that happens at least 100 times every day. For example, if you usually make three online sales a day from your website, then we'd recommend picking an event such as Add to Basket or View Content instead ofPurchase.
- Select your audience, placement, budget and schedule. Then click Continue.
- Choose Conversions under Optimisation of Delivery.
- Select your conversion window. Your conversion window should be based on how long it usually takes for someone to complete a valuable action (or conversion) after seeing your ad.
- Select Automatic as your bid amount to let Facebook optimise bids for your campaign, or you can choose Manual to set your own target cost per result.
- Type in a name for your ad set.
- Click Continue.
Once you've chosen your campaign preferences (such as budget, audience, placement and scheduling) then it's time to create your ad. Follow the steps below to get started:
- Choose the carousel format to showcase multiple products in a single ad.
- Connect a Facebook Page and Instagram account for your business if you have one.
- Select Automatically fill ad creative using a template.

Otherwise, you can select Manually choose your ad creative if you have specific product images that you'd like to use for your ad.
- Select Fill template dynamically from a product set.
- Click ... to choose your catalogue and product set manually. You can also use the catalogue and product set that are selected by default.

Scale your ad creation with dynamic ads
If you're an e-commerce business that sells many products, and you'd like to reach people who have already visited your website, then dynamic ads may be right for you.
Once you upload your products to Facebook, you can use dynamic ads to:
- Scale your ads creation
Create ads that are relevant to specific groups of people without having to manually set up each individual ad. - Find new potential customers
Keep reaching new people who have visited your website after you set up your campaign. - Show the right products
Show people relevant ads on Facebook and Instagram with products that they viewed on your website. Learn more about Facebook dynamic ads. - Reach people anywhere, on any device
Show ads to people using mobile, desktop and tablet devices on Facebook and Instagram.
Once you've finished setting up, you can start creating dynamic ads by going to your Ads Manager or by selecting Create Ad on the Facebook for WooCommerce page.
- From Ads Manager, click Create Ad.
- Select Promote a catalogue.
- Select a catalogue, then click Continue.
- Select an existing product set or create a new one.
- Select your audience, placement, budget and schedule. Then click Continue.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, we'll sync with your WooCommerce site every day at the same time as when you first synced your products.
You may only use one catalogue, however there is no limit on the number of products you can include in your catalogue.
If you've set up the Facebook pixel but not dynamic ads, or you think that you may have set up the Facebook pixel incorrectly, you should use the Facebook for WooCommerce extension to get everything set up. Bear in mind that you'll have to manually remove your existing Facebook pixel code from your website before starting, otherwise you'll have two versions of your pixel on your website.
Having two versions of the Facebook pixel can lead to:- Campaign results doubling (e.g. twice the number of actual conversions)
- Cost per result being halved in your reports
If you remove your existing pixel and start again with the WooCommerce plugin, we recommend pausing your active campaigns first and re-installing straight away. This way, you'll minimise any impact on your website Custom Audiences and conversion counts.
