How To Connect Your Etsy Shop To Instagram Shopping Step By Step

• Start your free trial of Catalog Generator for Etsy (7 days, $5/month after): https://catalog-generator.webyze.com/
• Video tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ChLE92Cu4s

• A verified domain connected to your Etsy shop
• A live product catalog that auto-syncs from Etsy to Instagram and Facebook
• Product tagging enabled across posts, Reels, and Stories

• Instagram Business account (switch from Personal in Settings > Account > Account type)
• Facebook Page connected to your Instagram account
• Meta Business account: https://business.facebook.com/
• An active Etsy shop with at least a few listings

1. Create or access your Meta Business account

• Go to https://business.facebook.com/ and create an account if you don’t have one.
• Link your Facebook Page and Instagram account inside Business Settings (Accounts > Pages and Accounts > Instagram accounts).

1. Verify your Etsy domain in Meta Business Manager

• In Business Settings, go to Brand Safety & Suitability > Domains > Add.
• Add your Etsy shop domain. Use the format yourshopname.etsy.com (confirm by visiting it—you should be redirected to your Etsy shop page).
• Meta will provide a meta tag to verify ownership.
• In Etsy, go to Shop Manager > Settings > Facebook Shops, paste the meta tag into the field, and click Connect.
• Return to Business Settings and click Verify. When verified, your domain shows as active.

1. Generate a live product feed from Etsy (the easy way)

• Visit Catalog Generator for Etsy: https://catalog-generator.webyze.com/
• Start the 7-day free trial (only $5/month afterward, cancel anytime).
• Connect your Etsy shop—this grants read access to your listings so the app can build your catalog.
• Copy the unique feed URL the app generates for you.

1. Create a catalog in Commerce Manager and connect your feed

• In Meta Business Suite, open Commerce Manager (from the main menu).
• Create or select your Commerce account > Catalogs > Add Items.
• Choose Data feed (we’re importing all items at once via URL).
• When prompted to upload, pick the option to use a URL rather than a file.
• Paste the feed URL from Catalog Generator.

1. Schedule automatic syncs

• Set a daily (or more frequent) schedule so your catalog re-fetches the latest Etsy changes.
• Click Save feed and upload. Depending on how many listings you have, the first import may take several minutes.
• After upload, browse Items to confirm your products appear correctly.

1. Submit your domain for approval and enable product tagging

• In Commerce Manager > Settings > Domains, submit your verified domain for approval (if requested under “Not submitted”).
• Once approved and your catalog is connected to your Instagram account, go to Instagram app > Settings > Business > Shopping and select your catalog.
• You can now tag products in posts, Reels, and Stories, and shoppers can tap through to your Etsy listings.

• Use strong product titles and descriptions in Etsy—these flow into your feed and help discovery.
• Upload high-resolution, well-lit images with clean backgrounds.
• Tag multiple relevant products per post where appropriate.
• Publish Reels and Stories with product stickers for higher reach.
• Feature seasonal collections and bestsellers in Highlights.
• Keep inventory accurate in Etsy—Catalog Generator will sync availability to your shop catalog.

• Catalog empty or missing items: Ensure your data feed URL from Catalog Generator is correct and that the scheduled fetch has completed. Re-run a manual fetch if needed.
• Domain not verifying: Double-check you pasted the exact meta tag into Etsy (Shop Manager > Settings > Facebook Shops), then click Verify again in Business Settings.
• Items pending review or rejected: Review Commerce Manager diagnostics for policy or data issues (e.g., missing images, prohibited items). Fix in Etsy; the next sync updates your catalog.
• Product images not showing: Confirm your primary listing photos meet size/ratio guidelines and are publicly accessible via Etsy.
• Can’t enable Instagram Shopping: Make sure your Instagram account is Business, linked to your Facebook Page, and that your domain is verified and approved.

• Always in sync: Avoid manual CSV uploads and errors.
• Fast setup: Paste one URL in Commerce Manager.
• Affordable: Just $5/month. 7-day free trial—test risk-free.
• Helpful support: Setup instructions included, and the team is here to help if you get stuck.
