Integration: Wix + Facebook and Instagram Shops + Meta orders

GoDataFeed has created a seamless integration between Wix users and Meta Shops, providing businesses with a hassle-free way to connect their product data via the Facebook and Instagram Shops feed, and manage Meta orders through our order sync platform. This comprehensive solution provides sellers the opportunity to expand their market footprint into Meta's highly profitable sales channel.

If you haven't already, your first step is to add our Facebook Shops by GoDataFeed app from the Wix App Market by clicking "Add to Site". Select your preferred plan type, and follow the steps shown to sign up for GoDataFeed.

Getting started with Facebook and Instagram Shops

Make sure your business is eligible for a shop.
To seamlessly connect the products in your online store to Facebook and Instagram, and automatically submit the most up-to-date product data to your Shop daily, you need a product feed. You can build a feed within GoDataFeed to either replace your existing feed, or create a new one.
To build a feed in GoDataFeed, add a new feed template in GoDataFeed and select our Facebook and Instagram Shops feed. Our Facebook and Instagram feeds are auto-mapped for stores with Wix Imports. There may be additional changes you wish to make and if so you can request a feed setup and our team can build this for you, or you can follow the steps in the section below to set up your feed.
Create your shop, customize your collections, and design your shop in Commerce Manager on desktop.

How it works

The graphic below outlines how the Facebook Shops by GoDataFeed app works to connect your Wix products to your Facebook Shop and sync orders.

Your GoDataFeed Dashboard page

When you sign into GoDataFeed, you will land on the Dashboard page where you will see the Account Setup steps outlined below.

First:

Click the "Connect" button on the 'Connect to Facebook Shops' step to connect your GoDataFeed and Facebook accounts so that we can submit your products to Facebook and Instagram Shops and sync orders back to your Wix store.

You must have permission to the Facebook Page and the Commerce Manager Account that you will use to connect this Catalog and Shop. Walk through the steps on-screen and you will receive confirmation upon completion.

Upon adding our app and signing up for a GoDataFeed Account, the import of your product catalog from Wix was automatically triggered, and your Wix store was connected to GoDataFeed.

You will see the status of the Wix import and the Wix connect on the Dashboard. A completed import and connection are indicated by a green check:

We recommend you review your imported Wix catalog to ensure all of your products have imported successfully and are coming in as expected, and to determine if additional import settings need to be configured.

How to review and download your imported catalog data:
1. Click on the hyperlinked 'Complete' status (highlighted in the screen above) or navigate to the 'Import' tab > 'Catalog' > you can browse your products on this page in our App, but we recommend you download the import.csv. To do so click the "Download" button in the left-side menu highlighted here:
2. Open the zipped .csv file in your favorite spreadsheet application
3. The top row of your downloaded Import file displays your product data fields (i.e. - the data points available to map into your feeds) -- browse through the file to view your available data our system is importing from your product catalog as you have it set up in Wix
4. The top row of your downloaded Import file displays your product data fields (i.e. - the data points available to map into your feeds) and you can browse through the file to view available data for these fields.
If you don't see all of your products in GoDataFeed:

Navigate to the 'Import' tab > select 'Primary Source'. Check the 'Include Variants' checkbox, click "Save", then click the "Import" button to bring in the rest of your products.

If your import fails:

Navigate to the 'Import' tab > select 'Primary Source' to review the credentials. Trigger a new import after making changes by clicking the 'Import' button. The integration may need to be re-installed if the import continues to fail.
The Facebook and Instagram Shops feed has been already added to your Feeds. When the import of your products from Wix is completed, the feed will auto-compile and our system will auto-map your Wix product data fields into the feed template as required by Facebook.
Once you have connected the MBE as described in the step above, the feed will auto-submit daily to your Commerce Manager.

Follow the steps in the next section to review your feed setup and confirm it is submitting to your Commerce Manager.
Our system enables Order Sync for you, and sets default Shipping methods so we are able to receive orders from Commerce Manager. Review the steps in the Order Sync settings section below to confirm your Orders settings.

Review your Facebook and Instagram Shops feed

Our system auto-maps the feed fields required by Facebook, and auto-submits the feed for you. However, we recommend you review these feed mappings, as well as additional mappings or optimizations you want to include in your feed. You will also want to review our system's validation messages, and the Processing Report for any feed issues.

What is feed mapping?

Feed mapping is the process of inputting your imported product catalog data points (found in the top row of your downloaded import file show in the 'Review your imported Wix catalog' section above) into the feed template's data points so that you are submitting the correct product data -- in the correct format -- to Meta.

How to review, add, or adjust feed mappings:
If you have made changes to your feed mappings, or optionally set up filters, assigned categories and created rules, you will need to compile your feed.

What does compiling the feed do?

Compiling a feed applies all of the Mappings, Filters, Categories, and Rules to a feed. Also, our system runs a data validation of your feed data against channel requirements. After a feed is successfully compiled a feed file that can be downloaded and reviewed, as well as a Validation Summary of errors, warnings, and optimization recommendations are produced in our App.

We recommend you compile your feed any time you make adjustments and review the resulting Validation Summary.

How to compile your feed:

Simply click the 'Compile' button located here in the left-side menu:
When the compilation is complete, a 'Validation Summary' card appears on top of the 'Catalog' page.

How to review Validation messages:
1. Click on any of the 4 cards to expand the messages for that category
2. You will see the message, message type, the % and total number of the affected products
3. Click on any message to review more details and review the channel requirements, and either create a rule or map a new field to resolve
Best practice

We recommend reviewing and resolving Error messages first, as products affected by errors will not be submitted to the channel.
In order to submit the feed and review the subsequent Processing Report, which includes feed errors returned from the channel, the Meta Business Extension must be connected.

Attention

If you have already connected the MBE via the Dashboard outlined in the previous section, you should see the "Connection Successful" screen shown below. If you do not see this screen, walk through the steps below to connect.
1. In your Facebook and Instagram feed click 'Meta Business Extension (MBE) Dashboard' on the left-side menu
2. Click the "CONNECT" button
3. Follow the prompts provided in App to make the connection
Once completed the page should look like the following:
Follow the steps below to submit the completed feed to Meta:
1. Click 'Settings' in the left-side menu of the feed
2. Scroll to the 'Feed Submission' card
3. The 'Ingestion Source Type' should have the value 'primary' populated, and the 'Feed Id' field will also have a value populated
4. The 'Schedule' button should be toggled ON, indicating the time and days your feed will automatically submit to your Commerce Manager
Once the feed has been submitted, Meta will return a Processing Report that informs you whether the channel has accepted the feed, or if the feed has any rejected any items. Users can leverage the information in the Processing Report to determine how optimize their feed, and how to resolve listed errors that are preventing some products from listing in the destination.

When it comes to these destinations the types of errors returned may be unique to a product type or an account level issue. Please note you may need to configure additional settings or permission in your Meta account.

How to review the Processing Report:
1. Click 'Processing Report' from the left-side menu
2. Just like the 'Validation Summary', you will have a 'Summary' section in the Processing Report, and you can click on any card to expand the messages for that category
3. You can also click the "Download Reports" button to download the full report
