If you are passionate about business but are afraid of risks or do not have much initial investment capital, then the POD and Dropshipping sales models are the ideal choice. In the digital age, many Dropshipping businesses have taken full advantage of Facebook Ads to expand their customer base and boost sales. However, not everyone knows how to deploy advertising effectively to achieve the expected results. Understanding that, Adsupport will explore how to make a facebook ad for dropshipping with you in the article below.
If you are doing business according to the Dropshipping model – that is, you do not need to import, store, or transport goods yourself – then Facebook Ads is a powerful “assistant” to help you expand your market quickly and economically. With the form of selling by order, Dropshipping helps you focus all your efforts on building your brand, promoting products, and taking care of customers, instead of spending time and money on warehouses.
Facebook is one of the most powerful advertising platforms today, possessing a “huge” number of users and the ability to accurately target each customer segment. Especially for those who are just starting to step into the world of POD or Dropshipping, setting up a Facebook advertising campaign is quite easy, intuitive, and suitable for those with little experience.
Not stopping there, Facebook also integrates many smart advertising tools such as Messenger, Live Video, Facebook Stories, … to help you reach potential customers more creatively and effectively. Thanks to that, increasing interactions, promoting conversions, and increasing sales have become more feasible than ever.
To deploy an effective Facebook advertising campaign for Dropshipping, you cannot just “run like it”, but need to carefully prepare a series of important factors to create a solid foundation.
You must build a store on a reputable, user-friendly platform that integrates well with Facebook ads. Some popular names trusted by the Dropshipping community include: Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Amazon, Etsy, …
To start running ads, you need to prepare the following basic “ingredients”:
In particular, Facebook Pixel is an indispensable factor that helps you track user behavior on the website. After installing Pixel on your website, share it with your advertising account to track, measure, and optimize your campaigns more effectively.
With Dropshipping – an industry that is prone to risks of violating advertising policies, you should use an account with a spending history and high reputation (trust) to avoid being unreasonably locked. In addition, do not forget to build a backup account system to “prevent” if the main account has problems. Some ways to create a backup account:
If you do not want to have a headache because your account is locked, use the account rental service from professional Agencies such as Adsupport. With a “healthy” Agency account, verified and “covered in green camp”, your ads will not only be approved quickly but also bite money smoothly, optimize bids, and increase conversion rates significantly.
Carefully preparing the above factors will help you start your journey to conquer customers with Facebook Dropshipping Ads confidently and effectively.
Every product in the dropshipping model has its unique characteristics, market, target audience, and consumer behavior. That’s why, to advertise effectively on Facebook, you need to understand the process and optimize each step. Below are 8 essential steps to help you set up and launch a successful advertising campaign:
Your Facebook Page is the face of your brand on social media. It’s where customers learn about, evaluate, and engage with your products. To create a Page, go to your personal Facebook account, navigate to the “Pages” section, and click “Create New Page.”
Fill in all the necessary details such as the page name, category (it’s recommended to choose “E-commerce Website”), and a brief description. Once completed, add a profile picture and cover photo to enhance professionalism and create a strong first impression. A well-optimized Facebook Page boosts your ad performance, builds trust, and helps grow a loyal customer community.
Next, you need to create a business profile within Facebook Business Manager. Access Ads Manager using your account, click “Get Started,” then select “Add a Business.”
Fill in the required details, including your business name, email address, phone number, and business address, and choose an appropriate time zone and currency (USD is recommended if you’re targeting international markets). Afterward, link the Facebook Page you just created to your business account for centralized ad management.
Facebook Pixel is a tracking code that collects user behavior data from your website. It allows you to optimize your ads and run effective retargeting campaigns.
To install the Pixel, go to Business Manager, select “Events Manager,” then choose “Connect Data Sources” and set up a new data source for your website. Name your Pixel, enter your website URL, and select your preferred installation method: manually add the code, use an integrated platform (such as Shopify or WooCommerce), or send instructions to a developer.
Once connected, you can test your Pixel by sending test traffic or using the Event Testing Tool to ensure all data is being accurately captured.

Create your ad by selecting your ad group, naming your ad, and choosing a content format.
Upload your images or videos, and add a title, description, and call to action. Ensure everything is engaging and relevant to your target audience.
When you’re done, click “Publish” to put your ad live.
