How to Upload PrestaShop Feed to Facebook Marketplace

If you want to harness the power of the Facebook Marketplace, there are several options to get products from your store listed there. One of them is to generate a PrestaShop feed for Facebook Marketplace and upload it to the Facebook catalog. Facebook catalog is a container that holds information about the items you want to advertise or sell across Facebook and Instagram. Having added your listings to the catalog, you can feature them on Facebook Marketplace.
