Whatsapp Catalogue

When Shopify Catalogue is not connected with any of the Meta Catalogues, we need to connect Shopify inventory with Meta, follow the below-mentioned steps :

Go to Commerce Manager
Select your business account.
Go to Assets > Add Catalogue
Select Catalogue Type (E-Commerce) > Configure Settings > Upload product Info > view catalogue > business settings on the top > data sources > catalogs > choose the contlo catalog name and on the top > assign partners and give the ID of gupshup mentioned below
Gupshup - 1900820339959633
Login to your Shopify Account and Finish setup.

When Shopify catalogue is used for any of the other use cases on Meta like Ads etc, we won’t be able to use it for WhatsApp Catalogue. We’ll need to connect a new Shopify catalogue by generating a link from Gupshup’s end.

Go to Settings > Apps and Sales Channels > Develop Apps > Create an App > Put App Name > Configuration > admin API > search products > Provide access to ‘write_products’ & ‘read_products’ > Save.
Go to API Credentials and click on Install App to generate access token.
Post installation, copy the Access Token Generated here.

For Shop URL, On Shopify - Go to Settings > Domains > Copy Shop Domain

Ask them to share the link for fetching catalogue on Meta. (mail : [email protected], [email protected] ) Mail gupshup twice
Connect Catalog - Mail Gupshup team with catalogue ID , FBM ID & HSM ID of Merchant. Generate Catalog Link - Give the shopify access token and Shopify Domain again with the following content -
