TL;DR

Dynamic Ads automatically show users the specific products they viewed, added to cart, or similar products they might like — powered by your product catalogue and pixel data. Set up requires a product catalogue in Commerce Manager, pixel events (ViewContent, AddToCart, Purchase) with content_ids matching your catalogue, and a Sales campaign using the catalogue as the product source. Dynamic retargeting (showing people products they already viewed) typically delivers the highest ROAS of any Meta campaign type.
