Facebook reads website og meta tags so you need to add og tags in head of your magento

Example tags:

<meta property="og:title" content="My product title"/>
<meta property="og:site_name" content="ABC Site"/>
<meta property="og:type" content="website"/>
<meta property="og:url" content="https://www.example.com/example.html"/>
<meta property="og:image" content="https://www.example.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/265x/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/m/k/mke-08-_1_.jpg"/>
<meta property="og:description" content="My product description"/>

Facebook crawler crawls your website and reads these tags from page. And if you want your page to re-crawl then you need to request for re-crawl from this tool:
