Shopify pushes your product listings to Meta on its own. It does not make the hooks, the video or the ads. That part is ours, with a strategist on the account.
First batch in days. No contract, no forced demo.
30M+ Ads Created For 30K+ Happy Customers
What syncs by itself, what has to be made, and how long the making takes.
Automatic
The Facebook and Instagram sales channel is free on every Shopify plan and syncs your products into a single Meta catalogue. Edits propagate on their own, usually within minutes.
Shopify Help CentreNot automatic
Hooks, video, motion, offer framing and the decision about which SKUs deserve any of it. None of that is in the sync.
Turnaround
Five to seven days from an agreed brief to finished assets, with a strategist signing off every one.
Standard Shopify agencies build the storefront and manage the feed. We start where that stops, and turn the catalogue into ads.
In one paragraph
A Shopify marketing agency looks after the demand side of a Shopify store. In practice that means some mix of storefront work, which is theme development, apps and the product page, and channel work, which is paid social, paid search, email and lifecycle. The label is broad enough that two agencies using it can share almost no scope.
One thing sits outside all of it. Shopify already ships the connection to Meta: the Facebook & Instagram by Meta sales channel is free on all Shopify plans and syncs your products into a single Meta catalogue shared across Facebook Shop, Instagram Shopping and Meta Marketing. Product edits follow automatically, usually within minutes. What arrives on Meta is a listing, not an ad.
Quickads works on the missing step. Creative intelligence, creative strategy, creative production, influencer at scale and campaign management sit in one place, billed per creative rather than as a share of your media budget. A strategist signs off every asset, and a brief becomes finished assets in 5 to 7 days.
Sync statements here come from Shopify's Help Centre. We sell a competing service, so our judgement is interested and the sources are worth checking.
Shopify's free integration moves product images and descriptions. It does not decide the hook, the format or the framing.
The channel costs nothing
The Facebook & Instagram by Meta sales channel is free on all Shopify plans. Installing it is not a project, and no agency needs to be paid to switch it on.
One catalogue, every surface
Products land in a single Meta catalogue shared across Facebook Shop, Instagram Shopping and Meta Marketing. A SKU cannot be published to one surface and withheld from another.
Edits look after themselves
Change a price or a title in your admin and the edit propagates automatically, usually within minutes. Nobody has to re-upload a feed, and nobody has to be paid to keep the two catalogues in step.
Collections are geography-bound
Collections sync only for stores based in the United States. Outside the US you plan around product-level structure, whoever runs the account.
Where it stops
The sync moves a photograph, a title and a description written for a product page. It produces no concept and no hook, and no video at all. Nothing in the documentation claims otherwise.
Rows here restate Shopify's Help Centre documentation for the Facebook and Instagram by Meta sales channel. The reading of where it stops is ours.
Creator video, motion statics, catalogue overlays and comparison assets, built from the products you already sell.
Format one
Problem-and-solution openings shot by creators, directed to a brief built from your own product data.
Format two
Feature callouts, ingredient and spec framing, press and review badges, animated enough to hold a scroll.
Format three
Borders, price and offer framing layered onto dynamic product templates, so a catalogue ad stops looking like a catalogue.
Format four
Side-by-side and before-and-after framings, written to the claim you can actually substantiate.
Meta will not sync a product that is missing required data. We read the feed and tell you which SKUs are being held back.
Gate one
The image, title and description have to satisfy Meta's catalogue specifications. Thin descriptions and lifestyle-only photography are the usual casualties.
Shopify Help Centre, Facebook & Instagram by MetaGate two
Every product must carry one. Stores that grew by importing suppliers tend to have thousands of rows with the field left blank.
Shopify Help Centre, Facebook & Instagram by MetaGate three
The product has to be a shippable thing. Digital downloads, services and bookings do not pass, however well they sell.
Shopify Help Centre, Facebook & Instagram by MetaGate four
A zero price keeps a product out of the catalogue. Samples, gifts-with-purchase and trial units sit on the wrong side of this one.
Shopify Help Centre, Facebook & Instagram by MetaAll four conditions are Shopify's, published in its Help Centre. Which catalogues tend to fail which gate is our observation.
Pushing hundreds of SKUs into a catalogue produces hundreds of raw listings. Deciding which ones deserve a real ad is the work.
Look at what a retainer is priced against, and that job is nowhere in the formula.
One store, under Credo's published model
Not one line on that list gets larger when your catalogue does. The setup fee is scoped as “research, auditing, initial ad copy”, which means copy is bought once, at the start. Catalogue depth never enters the price at all.
Figures in the panel come from Credo's survey of marketing providers; the grouping and the last row are our reading of its published model.
Theme development, the app stack, email and lifecycle, and PDP conversion work are all real and none of them are ours.
Shopify automates the catalogue data. The creative step at the end of the pipe stays empty until somebody makes it.
See What Your Catalogue Looks Like As Ads
Give us a product feed and one live Meta account. You get the angles a strategist would test and a first batch of finished assets, with nothing signed.
Two worked examples of SKU triage, using the shape of a catalogue rather than a named client's results.
Five links in one engagement: creative intelligence, strategy, multi-format production, influencer sourcing and campaign execution.
Creative intelligence
Computer-vision models trained on more than 32 million ads show which formats, hooks and pacing are live in your category. That read also tells us which of your SKUs is worth a concept and which is fine as a catalogue listing.
Creative strategy
A strategist picks the products, sets the angles and decides the format mix before anything is produced. A model recommends. A person decides, and signs their name to it.
Creative production
Statics, motion, video and copy built for the placements Meta actually serves, on a 5 to 7 day turnaround from brief to finished assets. How many concepts and how many assets is scoped to your engagement rather than sold as a fixed allowance.
Influencer at scale
Creator video briefed against the same products in the same batch. The creator cut and the studio cut reach your account together instead of one turning up from another vendor a fortnight later.
Campaign management
We will run the Meta account if you want it run, from structure through budgets to iteration. If you have buyers you trust, we stay out and hand them named, correctly sized files.
How you are billed
Per creative, never against your media budget. No annual prepay and no lock-in, so what you commit to is a batch rather than a year.
Connect the store, let a strategist triage the best SKUs, and get finished assets back each batch.
01 · FEED
Send the product feed and read access to the Meta account. We check what has reached the catalogue and what stalled at one of the four gates.
02 · TRIAGE
A strategist shortlists the SKUs worth producing for and the angles to try against them. You sign off the batch before any work starts.
03 · PRODUCE
Assets arrive finished, named and sized for the placements you run. A strategist has reviewed each one against your brand before it leaves us.
04 · LAUNCH
We launch and iterate inside your account, or hand the batch to your buyers. What the batch shows shapes the shortlist for the next one.
Asset-based billing and creative specialism against a fixed monthly retainer, read line by line.

The last three rows go against us, and the row above them is a tie.
Three concepts built from your own feed. Look at the creative before you decide anything about volume.
Look At The Creative Before You Decide On Volume
Send the product feed and we will build three concepts from your own SKUs in five to seven days. No annual prepay and no lock-in, so nothing about the first batch commits you to a second.
Fast answers on catalogue syncs, pricing models, turnaround and Meta campaign management.
It runs the demand side of a Shopify store. Scope varies widely, but the common pieces are theme and storefront work, the app stack, email and lifecycle marketing, collection SEO, and paid media on Meta and Google. Two agencies using the same label can hand you very different statements of work, so read the scope line by line.
It handles the plumbing, not the ads. The Facebook & Instagram by Meta sales channel is free on all Shopify plans and syncs your products into a single Meta catalogue shared across Facebook Shop, Instagram Shopping and Meta Marketing, with edits following automatically. What it delivers is a product listing. The concept, the hook, the video and the copy are still somebody's job.
Almost always a failed sync condition. Shopify documents four: the image, title and description must meet Meta's catalogue specifications, the product must carry a Google Product Category, it must require shipping, and it must not be free. Digital goods and free samples are the two that catch people out. Collections are a separate matter, as they sync only for stores based in the United States.
In Credo's survey of marketing providers, a typical PPC deal is $1,000 to $2,000 a month for one channel plus $500 to $750 a month for each additional channel, a setup fee of $1,000 to $2,500, and 15 per cent of ad spend above $10,000 a month. Credo also found 50.97 per cent set a retainer minimum of $1,000 to $3,000 a month. Quickads bills per creative instead of against your media budget, and quotes on a call rather than publishing a rate, because format mix changes the number.
Both are on the table and you pick. Campaign management is one of the five things we do, so the account can sit with us end to end. Where a store already has buyers it likes, we keep out of the account and deliver finished assets to them instead.
By triage, not by covering everything. A strategist shortlists the SKUs worth producing concepts for, using a read of what is running in your category, and the rest stay as catalogue listings until something changes. That shortlist gets revisited every batch as the season and the offer move.
No. Theme development, the app stack, email and lifecycle, product page conversion work and collection SEO all sit outside what we do. A Shopify agency or a freelance developer is the right hire for those, and we will say so if that turns out to be your bottleneck.
No. There is no annual prepay and no lock-in, and the first batch lands before you commit to anything. Worth knowing what you are declining: Credo's survey puts 30.52 per cent of PPC providers on a 6 to 12 month engagement, and a further 26.3 per cent on nothing at all.
Send your product feed and one active Meta account. You get a category read and a first batch of assets.
