This article will help you configure product feeds in GoDataFeed for use in Meta Business Manager. 

Step 1 Select your Facebook API feed template

Primary or Supplementary? Be sure to select the type of feed required for your use case:

  • If you are looking to upload new products, you will need a Primary Facebook feed. For Primary feeds, select Facebook API.
  • If you are using Meta Checkout or are only interested in adding additional data to an existing product feed, you will need a Supplementary feed. For Supplementary Meta feeds, select Facebook API - Supplementary.
