Step 1: Create a Business Manager Account

In order to set up a catalog for dynamic ads, you will need a Business Manager account on Facebook. If you don’t have one already, head over to business.facebook.com and follow the prompts to set up your account.

Once you have your Business Manager account, navigate to the Business Manager dashboard and follow these steps:

1. Click on “Business Settings” in the top right corner.
