Facebook & Instagram App - Sync catalog independently of pixel selected

Topic summary

Request to decouple product catalog syncing from the selected Facebook pixel within the Shopify Facebook & Instagram app. The poster has chosen a specific pixel on the Meta side but does not want the store’s catalog to sync to that pixel’s dataset.

Asks whether there is a way to either: (1) sync the catalog independently to a different dataset, or (2) disable catalog syncing entirely while keeping the chosen pixel active. (Pixel = Meta tracking tag; Catalog = product feed.)

No responses or solutions are provided in the thread. Status: unresolved/open, with no confirmed method or workaround indicated.

I’ve selected the pixel I want to use on the Facebook side, but I do NOT want the catalog to sync to that dataset. Is there a way to “break” this up, and sync the catalog separately (or not at all), using the Facebook & Instagram app?
