    SOLVED...in a way.
    This is what I did to get my active products on my website onto my Instagram shop:
    Go to Facebook Commerce Manager. Make sure your Instagram Commerce Account is selected on the left side of the page. There should be two drop-downs. The second one down is where you would select the Instagram commerce account. I think the default might be your Facebook page, not Instagram. Catalog > Data Sources Add Items > Add Multiple Items (green button top right) Data Feed > Next > No, I need a feed template > Next Build Template: Standard or Custom, depending on how detailed you want to be. Just note you NEED all the required fields, so you at least need Standard. Download template. Open downloaded catalog_products.csv. It will be blank with one or two examples in the columns. Go into Squarespace. Commerce > Inventory > Export All (top right) Open products_DATE&TIME.csv. Put your files together. Look over the REQUIRED fields in the Facebook catalog_products.csv file. Copy the necessary required information from the Squarespace products_DATE&TIME.csv file over to the corresponding columns in the Facebook catalog_products.csv file. You will need to remove some coding formatting from the Squarespace CSV file because it won't translate when uploading onto Facebook later. Fill out all the REQUIRED fields in the correct formatting (this is listed at the top of each column). Choose which OPTIONAL fields you want to include and fill those out. Double-check all your formatting. Save your catalog_products.csv. Export a copy with the date of the day you edited it. It's always good to keep two copies, one master and one exported with the date, even if they're the same thing. Go back into Facebook Commerce Manager where you left off. Upload your newly-edited CSV (same screen where you downloaded the template). If everything looks good, Facebook won't give you any error messages. If something is formatted wrong, Facebook will let you know that you need to change something. It's up to you to go back in and figure out what that is. Most of the time, it's probably formatting. You products should upload into Commerce Manager. Please let me know if you have questions! I tried to be thorough and remember the process as well as I could.
