Upon singing up, retailers will receive instructions on how to install the Wishpond plugin. Once installed, the plugin will automatically “push” your product inventory data to Wishpond and will keep product levels and pricing in sync. According to the website, you can usually have your Facebook Ecommerce page up and running in a day and will not need any technical knowledge to add your product feed.
