# Sync a store into a Meta catalog

`POST /v1/commerce/catalog-syncs`

Keeps a Meta product catalog in sync with the store, for catalog ads
(`goal: catalog_sales`) and Shops. The first full run starts right
away in the background; `runStatus` and the item counts report its
outcome. Every active product variant that is published to the online
store and has an image becomes a catalog item, grouped by product
(`item_group_id`). After that, product changes on the store update
the catalog within minutes, and a daily full run removes items for
products or variants the store no longer has. Items are namespaced to
the store, so a catalog can take several stores and a run never
touches items it did not create.

`catalogAccountId` is a connected facebook, instagram or metaads
account whose Meta login can manage the catalog (the catalog_management
permission); find catalogs with `GET /v1/ads/catalogs`.
