Title: Facebook catalog sync problems Last modified: April 26, 2019 --- # Facebook catalog sync problems * Resolved [andreu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andreu/) * (@andreu) * [7 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/facebook-catalog-sync-problems/) * Hi, * I’ve contacted Facebook support team because we’re experiencing problems with the product catalog sync and they told me to contact Woo support. * The problem is that our product variations (product sizes) appear as individual products in the Facebook catalog. This causes us a problem when we want to make advertisements with the sets because the same product appear more than once to the client and we lose the opportunity to communicate the different products. * Facebook told me that this is an issue with the export and that should be checked by WooCommerce. * We’re using latest versions of all the plugins. What can I do in order to let you test the issue? * Thanks in advance Viewing 5 replies - 1 through 5 (of 5 total) * [dougaitken](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dougaitken/) * (@dougaitken) * Automattic Happiness Engineer * [7 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/facebook-catalog-sync-problems/#post-11474006) * Hey there [@andreu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andreu/) * > I’ve contacted Facebook support team because we’re experiencing problems with the product catalog sync and they told me to contact Woo support. * Oh dear, that’s not ideal being passed about this like. * > Facebook told me that this is an issue with the export and that should be checked by WooCommerce. * Can you clarify if there was any details given about the “export” here, please? * There is a team at Facebook who provides full support for the plugin. * Would you be able to submit a ticket via WooCommerce.com and give us some more details so we can discuss this with the Facebook team to find out how to resolve this, please? * Thanks, * Thread Starter [andreu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andreu/) * (@andreu) * [7 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/facebook-catalog-sync-problems/#post-11475236) * Hi [@dougaitken](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dougaitken/), Thanks for your reply. I don’t have any details about the export. I’m not sure where the problem come from. I will try to submit a ticket in WooCommerce.com and get back to you when I have more info if they couldn’t help me.

I’m completely lost after their answer. I paste you the answer here for your reference. * Thanks * – * I’m definitely sorry to hear of the troubles. As you know, Facebook created this extension and provides official support for it. I realize they sent you our way, so I wanted to at least do some research on the topic. * After digging into their GitHub repository where people can post issues related to bugs, I was able to find a few instances of other users reporting this same problem. Here’s a reply from one of the contributors to the plugin: * > this is intended and normal. Facebook does not allow multiple prices, multiple > colors, or multiple anything per product.

Each variation has to be listed as a separate product. I would recommend adding your experience to that issue on GitHub and see if they can create a workaround or solution for you. If that doesn’t help, this may be a feature that you’d need to get custom help with.

Accept that the plugin doesn’t do what you need and work around it 2.
