Facebook API - copy website products to facebook shop
Please can someone point me in the right direction; I'm looking to show my website's products on my Facebook page's shop. Which API or resource should I be looking at to achieve this?
I'd prefer to be in control and manually code the API relationship between my website and Facebook, instead of using a third-party.
From my own research it appears I'd need to apply for the Shops API (alpha), however this has a couple caveats:
- It's in alpha; I'm unlikely to be accepted as facebook appears to be looking for big brands.
- Judging from the freely available docs, I'd need to pose as a merchent on my own platform.
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/pages/shops-api
Any advice is welcome, thank-you.

I don’t think there is an API for your use case, you will have to upload your products via the UI.
