# What Is Facebook Product Feed Generator? A Practical Guide to Facebook Catalog Feed

Meta's Commerce Manager shares a lot of its feed spec with Google Merchant Center, but the two aren't identical — a feed that passes one can still get rejected by the other over field-naming or format differences.

Facebook Product Feed Generator exists to solve one specific, recurring problem: Facebook Catalog feed is easy to get wrong by hand, tedious to check manually across a whole site, and quick to fix once you can actually see it clearly. That's the gap Facebook Product Feed Generator fills.

In practice, this usually comes up in one of two situations — you're setting things up correctly from the start on a new page or site, or you're auditing something that already exists and trying to find what's silently broken. Both are worth doing regularly, not just once.

A few things worth keeping in mind:
- Use `in stock` / `out of stock` exactly as Meta expects for availability — subtly different casing or wording from a Google-formatted feed can cause silent rejection.
- Include `brand` on every item — Meta uses it for catalog matching and Shop search, and its absence noticeably hurts discoverability inside Facebook/Instagram Shops.
- Set up catalog scheduled refreshes rather than manual re-uploads, so price and stock changes reflect within hours, not whenever someone remembers to re-upload.

It's also worth knowing what commonly goes wrong here. Reusing a Google Merchant feed verbatim without checking Meta's specific field requirements, which differ in several subtle but rejection-causing ways. And avoiding these is usually less about effort and more about knowing to check in the first place.

This connects to a few other things worth getting right at the same time — see Merchant Feed Validator and Competitor Product Research Tool for the related pieces of the same technical foundation.
