In simple English
This plugin connects your online shop to Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. It sends your product list to Meta automatically so you can run ads. It tracks what visitors buy so you know if your ads work. It is free to use because Meta wants you to spend money on advertising. You need a working online shop built on WooCommerce to use it.
What it is
This is the official plugin from Meta that links WooCommerce stores to Meta business catalogs and tracking pixels. It handles product synchronization, conversion tracking, and messaging integration in one package.
