Connecting Meta Ads to FERMÀT

Connect your Meta (Facebook) Ads account to track ad performance, spend, and conversions directly in your FERMÀT dashboards.

Updated over a month ago

FERMÀT has significantly improved the Meta Ads integration with a streamlined sync flow that offers real-time status visibility and removes the need for third-party tools. To enable accurate attribution and maximize ad performance, Meta Pixels are automatically embedded into every FERMÀT shop. This allows Meta to track key actions, such as page views, add-to-carts, and purchases, so your campaigns are powered by real customer behavior and deliver stronger results.

What's in this guide:


Getting Started with Meta Ads Sync

Navigate to the Meta Ads integration through FERMÀT's Settings panel.

Settings → Manage Integrations → Ad Platforms → Ad Channels

In the Ad Channels section, you'll find the Meta/Facebook integration with a prominent Sync Meta Ads performance data with FERMÀT button.

What you'll see:

  • Grant Fermat permission to read performance data from your Meta Ads account

  • Select the ad account to connect

  • Data will be imported from your Meta Ads account to FERMÀT

The status indicator clearly shows whether you're currently connected or need to establish a new connection.

Step-by-Step Setup Process

Step 1: Grant Access

  • Click Open Ads Manager in FERMÀT to navigate to the Ad Accounts tab in your Meta Business Manager.

  • Locate your primary Ad Account and click Assign Partners

  • Enter Fermat's Business ID 643789213563644

  • Toggle on the View Performance permission

Admin Approval Process

In some cases, this connection might require additional admin approval from your Business Manager administrator.

If admin approval is needed:

  1. Ask your other business admin to approve the FERMÀT partner request

  2. Once approved, the integration will be able to access your ad performance data

Step 2: Connect Your Meta Ad Account Safely

This secure connection helps you track everything in one place without compromising your privacy. FERMÀT does not access any personal information or customer PII.

How to Sync Meta Ad Accounts with Fermat:

Important: Log out of any personal Meta accounts in the same browser to avoid permission issues.

  1. Log in to your Meta Ads account with the Required permissions

    • Make sure you’re using the account that has access to the ad accounts you want to sync

  2. Once you've logged into Meta, you'll see an App called SkyBright.

  3. You'll be asked to connect to SkyBright, FERMÀT's official Meta app

  4. Click Connect

  5. Select Opt in to current Businesses only option

  6. You’ll be redirected to FERMÁT to select the ad accounts you'd like to sync performance data with.

  7. Select the ad accounts and click on Sync Data

Step 3: Check Sync Status

  • After selecting the ad account, the status will show Setup Complete, then Sync in Progress.

  • When finished, it will update to Sync Complete.

  • If it shows Sync Failed, repeat the steps above to try again.
