Compatibility with ''Facebook for Woocommerce'' plugin #6231

Hello,

Marketing tools like Facebook or Google can pull products from Wordpress via product feeds. There are also several plugins for this. This is now an indispensable feature for all e-commerce sites. Products should be everywhere.

JetEngine offers a number of great benefits for these product streams. For example, you can create a brand area and use it as you wish throughout the site. However, you cannot submit this brand space to Facebook or Google. One of the plugins that provides these feeds is Facebook's own plugin "Facebook for WooCommerce". I want to match the "Brand" field in this plugin with the "Brand" field I created with Jet Engine and synchronize my products.

Thank you

I had the same problem, and basically concluded that the best way to work with WooCommerce is to use Custom Taxonomies rather than Relationships. I initially built a site for a gallery in 2020 with Artists (CPT) > Artworks (which are Products), and came across the same problem. This was before JetEngine had so many features.

I think the options are twofold (I am assuming you sorted it as it was 6 months ago, but this is just for others if they come looking), to either migrate it as a custom taxonomy so it works out of the box in the RSS Feeds (eg the WooCommerce Brands plugin uses Taxonomy) or create a plugin that pulls the Title of the Related CPT into the RSS Feed. I wish the documentation was a little clearer, but that's Crocoblock for ya. heh. Anyway HTH anyone else who comes looking.
