Create Facebook Shops Templates & Recipes
You can save Facebook Shops listing attributes as templates and apply it to other listings in bulk to save time and effort. Templates can be created for Title, Description, Price, Category, etc. For more information on how to apply templates, please see Templates and Recipes.
To create a new template, from your dashboard, navigate to Listing template and recipe > Listing Templates.
Choose your Facebook Shops channel from the left panel to create and edit templates for Facebook listings.
Start by giving your LitCommerce’s template a nickname so you can easily find it when needed. If you choose the template as default, it will automatically be applied when you create new Facebook Shops listings.
The ability to map your item-specifics in advance is one of the most powerful aspects of the Category template. You’ll find all of the item-specific information for the Primary Category you selected here.
Pricing Templates lets you customize the pricing for all of your listings.
You can choose to increase or decrease the price by percent or a specific amount. Also, you can go with the override option to replace the current product’s price with a fixed one.
Note: You can use the Price Rules feature for currency conversion if you’re selling overseas. To convert the currency, go to Google.com and search for the current exchange rate from your Main store currency to the currency of your sales channel.
If the rate is greater than 1, then substract 1 from the rate and multiply the result by 100. Choose Increase in the first box.
If the rate is smaller than 1, then substract the rate from 1 and multiply the result by 100. Choose Decrease in the first box.
Enter the result in the Price Adjustment section and set the unit to Percent (%).
After that, hit Save to complete the pricing template.
First, fill in the template’s nickname and you can choose to use it as default as well.

Click Save when you are done and apply the template for your listings.
