How to connect Woocommerce with Facebook?
There are a few methods to connect the woocommerce & Facebook. The most common one is using the official plugin provided by Woocommerce itself. There are a few third-party plugins also available to achieve the same.
Still, people find it difficult to sync their woocommerce stores with their Facebook shops using plugins. There could be various factors behind this issue where these plugins not working as expected such as the sites are hosted on incompatible shared hostings, obsolete PHP versions, the high volume of products, etc.
What are common issues?
This guide will be an alternative solution if you are getting below errors on your current Woocommerce – Facebook integration;
- Missing required information developer. There are missing information required to set up the connection correctly. Please reach out to the developer for more information.
- Error on managing Facebook Business Extension
- Oops, something went wrong. This may be because of a technical error that we’re working to get fixed/ Try reloading the page.
- The Pixel is not paired with a catalog. Please associate the pixel with a catalog using the Catalog Manager at https://www.facebook.com/products/
- Something went wrong when connecting to Facebook! Please try again.
Excellent article. This helped me to overcome “Missing required information developer” error I encountered with Facebook for Woocommerce plugin. One question though, will my stock automatically synced between wc & fb?

– Oops, something went wrong. This may be because of a technical error that we’re working to get fixed/ Try reloading the page.
Hi Simohnt, thanks for your comment. Unfortunately no solutions are found for this FB for WC plugin error. This guide will help you for an alternative approach. Did you try this?
Well I haven’t gotten very far. I got “generate product feed” and i get an error message: “Product #104955 error: the field “description” in must not be empty.
Hi, thanks for your comment. This is because one of your product doesn’t have a description in it. Please update the description & try again.
Bonus tip: Under Pixel caffeine product feed advanced settings, you have a choice to choose either the long or short description. Choose one suits your store.
Hi. Nice video but unfortunately when I create the product feed it only finds one product and I have more than 800..
Hi George, thank you so much for your comment. There could be many reasons for this behavior. Please check your debug/log files to see what causes this issue. You may also try https://wordpress.org/plugins/webappick-product-feed-for-woocommerce/ to generate the feed. Just have a try & let us know. Cheers!
The video tutorial is excellent and knowledgeable, but if you give the overview and purpose and benefit of each steps before starting any topic, then it will more valuable, but any new user who want to make setup between woocomerce and facebook, it will be difficult to understand the purpose of each step. I hope you understood my point of view. Thanks
Hi Abid, thank you so much for your comment. Yes, you’re absolutely right & we would love to implement the same in our future videos. For this one, we have added a timestamp at 00:39 & 01:30 where we do explaining about the platforms/tools in use & the steps that we are taking with brief reasoning. Thanks once again for taking the time to give us invaluable feedback & we do really appreciate it. Thank you!
I can not share individual product of my store, but i can share whole catalogue ..???
Hi Abid, you may choose what products to be shown in your shop by choosing sets on your Facebook catalog. I would suggest you to refer Facebook’s catalog documentation to get more info about this. Thank you.
The pixel coffe dashboard and settings don’t show right, everything is a mess, its seems something went wrong with the update?, do you have the same problem?
Hi Lucid, We’re not facing any issues as such. Our demo website (shown in the video) has Pixel Caffeine 2.2.0 installed (released on 2021-02-09). Please check if your adblocker is causing any issues…
