# Sell on Google, Meta, and TikTok from Cartble

> Sales channels let you list your Cartble products on Google Shopping, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok by connecting each platform from your admin dashboard.

Sales channels let you distribute your active product catalog to external platforms where customers are already shopping. Cartble supports three sales channels — Google, Meta (Facebook and Instagram), and TikTok — each with its own connection method. You manage all channel connections from the **Sales Channels** section in your admin dashboard.

## Google channel

The Google channel connects your store to Google Merchant Center, which powers Google Shopping listings and Performance Max campaigns. Once connected, your active product catalog syncs to Merchant Center and your products can appear in Google Search shopping results and Google Shopping tabs.

Connecting the Google channel requires authorization through your Google account. During the connection flow, Cartble stores an access token, a refresh token, and your Merchant Center merchant ID to keep the connection active and refresh it automatically when the access token expires.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Sales Channels">
    In your admin dashboard, navigate to the Sales Channels section.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect Google">
    Click **Connect** next to Google. You'll be redirected to Google's authorization screen.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authorize access">
    Sign in with the Google account that has access to your Google Merchant Center account and grant the requested permissions.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm your Merchant Center ID">
    After authorizing, confirm your Merchant Center merchant ID so Cartble knows which account to sync your products to.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify your feed">
    Return to Sales Channels and confirm the connection status shows as connected. Your product catalog will begin syncing to Merchant Center.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Meta channel (Facebook and Instagram)

The Meta channel uses a product feed to sync your catalog with Facebook and Instagram. Cartble generates a feed URL that you register in your Meta Commerce Manager. Once registered, Meta periodically fetches your product data from the feed to keep your catalog up to date for use in catalog ads and Instagram Shopping.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Sales Channels">
    Navigate to the Sales Channels section in your admin dashboard.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enable the Meta channel">
    Click **Connect** next to Meta to enable the channel and generate your feed URL.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Copy your feed URL">
    Copy the feed URL shown after enabling the channel.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Register in Meta Commerce Manager">
    Go to your Meta Commerce Manager, open your catalog data sources, and add the feed URL as a scheduled feed. Set the fetch frequency according to how often you update your products.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## TikTok channel

The TikTok channel works the same way as the Meta channel — Cartble generates a feed URL that you register in TikTok Seller Center to sync your product catalog with TikTok Shopping.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Sales Channels">
    Navigate to the Sales Channels section in your admin dashboard.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enable the TikTok channel">
    Click **Connect** next to TikTok to enable the channel and generate your feed URL.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Copy your feed URL">
    Copy the feed URL shown after enabling the channel.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Register in TikTok Seller Center">
    Go to your TikTok Seller Center, navigate to product catalog settings, and add the feed URL to sync your products.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What data is synced

All sales channels sync your **active product catalog** — the products you have published in your Cartble store. This includes product names, descriptions, prices, images, and inventory data. Unpublished or draft products are not included in the feed.

<Note>
  Changes to your products in Cartble are reflected in feed-based channels (Meta and TikTok) on the next scheduled fetch by those platforms. For the Google channel, updates sync according to Merchant Center's crawl schedule.
</Note>

<Warning>
  Disconnecting a channel stops the sync but does not automatically remove your products from the external platform. You may need to manually remove the feed or catalog in the respective platform's settings.
