Collection Ads

Collection ads are a mobile Meta ad format that pairs a cover image or video with several product images below it; tapping opens a full-screen, fast-loading Instant Experience.

Collection ads create a storefront-like experience inside Facebook and Instagram. The cover media grabs attention, the product tiles show what's available, and the Instant Experience — a mobile landing page hosted by Meta — loads almost instantly, letting people browse without leaving the app.

They're strongest for retailers and brands with visual products, and they can pull products dynamically from a catalog. Because the Instant Experience lives on Meta, it removes slow-loading website friction from the first browse, although purchases still typically complete on your site.

Example

An outdoor brand runs a collection ad with a hiking video on top and four jackets below; tapping opens a scrolling lookbook of the full collection.
