How Do I Select Products to Promote?

After successfully installing the app (Install tab) and connecting your Meta Business Manager (Connect tab), the next step is select products to promote in Facebook and Instagram Ads.

Option 1: Promote All Products



Automatically advertise your entire Shopify catalog. Facebook will dynamically show the most relevant products to each shopper based on their interests and behavior. Ideal for stores with a large inventory.

Steps:



Click on the Select Products to Promote button.

Select Products to Promote

Select a Default Product Category. You can use the search bar to find a product category that represents the products in your store.

Selecting a Default Product Category is required for submitting your products to Meta. So even if you don't plan on promoting all products, you must select a Default Product Category.

Option 2: Promote Specific Products (Using Tags)



Choose which products to advertise by using Shopify tags. Only tagged products will be included in your ads, giving you full control over what appears. Best for promoting bestsellers, seasonal items, or specific collections.

Steps:



If you want to promote specific products or a specific collection, click on the Only some tags tab.

Select Tags

Easy Ads for Facebook uses product tags in order to pull products from your Shopify store to show in ads. Tags are an internal management system and are not visible in your store or in ads. They also don't affect targeting. Their sole purpose is to determine which ads are shown in ads and to help assign a product feed category to your products in order to enhance audience targeting.

Select a Default Product Category that represents the products selected in your store.
