Meta Commerce rule

Meta Commerce: avoid promotional text, badges, and watermarks

Meta's catalogue guidance asks product images to show the product without promotional text, sale badges, price stickers, or brand watermarks. Meta retired its hard 20%-text ad rule in 2020, but heavy overlays still risk rejection.

What we check

CatalogPrep runs a text/logo detector and flags promotional overlays, sale badges, and watermarks that are not part of the physical product.

How to fix

Use CatalogPrep's AI cleanup edit to remove promotional overlays before pushing the asset to Meta's catalogue. Brand-on-product markings that are part of the physical product are reviewed manually.
