Connect guides
On this page
Each channel reads your products from a feed link. You connect a channel once, in that channel's own business tools, by pasting the link Kartlo gives you. No approval from Kartlo is needed, and nothing has to be installed on your store.
The same steps appear in SettingsSales channels under How to connect on each card, with an Open link to the right place.
Before you start#
- Your store must be live and open to shoppers. A closed store sends an empty feed.
- Your products should be Active, with photos and prices.
- You need a business account on each channel you want to use.
Copy your feed link from SettingsSales channels with the Copy button on the channel's card. See Product feeds.
Facebook and Instagram Shop#
One Meta catalog feeds your Facebook Shop, Instagram product tags, your WhatsApp Business catalog and Meta ads. Use the link on the Meta: Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp card.
To connect your Meta catalog:
- Open Meta Commerce Manager and create a catalog for online products.
- In the catalog, go to Data sources, Add items, Data feed, then Scheduled feed.
- Paste your Meta link and choose to update it every hour or every day.
- Connect the catalog to your Facebook Page and your Instagram account.
Meta reviews new catalog items before they show. Check the catalog's diagnostics in Commerce Manager if items are rejected.
WhatsApp catalog#
Your WhatsApp Business catalog uses the same Meta catalog, so connect Meta first. Then:
- Open WhatsApp Manager and go to Catalog.
- Pick the catalog you created in Commerce Manager.
Customers can then browse your products inside WhatsApp, and every product links back to your store.
Google Shopping#
The Google Shopping link lists your products in Google Merchant Center, for free listings on Google Search, Images and Shopping, and for Google ads.
To connect Google Merchant Center:
- Open Google Merchant Center and add your store.
- Go to Products, Add products, Add from a file, then Add a file from a link.
- Paste your Google link and set it to fetch every day.
TikTok#
The TikTok link gives TikTok a product catalog for product ads and shoppable videos.
To connect TikTok:
- Open TikTok Ads Manager, go to Assets, Catalogs, and create an e-commerce catalog.
- Choose Add products, Data feed, then Scheduled.
- Paste your TikTok link and choose how often it updates.
After you connect#
- Leave the channel to fetch your link on its schedule. You do not need to upload anything again.
- If you ever click Make new links, paste the new link into every channel you connected, or those channels stop updating.
- Watch which channels bring sales in Orders by source, last 30 days. See Orders by source.
