Facebook & Instagram

some of my products are not showing up and they are not rejected so I don't know what the issue is. they are supposed to be showing up on the sales channel and they are not. Then when I go to my commerce center, the previews wont even load so I am not completely happy , also I am trying to edit the products that were rejected for size reasons, but they are one size and I did specify them.

Completely inefficient and syncing process has been infuriatingly difficult. Also, the meta support caused my store deactivation and then attempting to reactivate, connected it to the incorrect Facebook business profile, therefore blocking it from being accessible on instagram. There is no real time communication, lots of emails and then no ability to respond. I have taken all the steps necessary and I feel your support team caused this chaos and now there is no one to actually communicate about it with. Very dissatisfied.

terrible!

We've never been able to start ads because the system wouldn't take any of our cc's as a form of payment and then it restricted our account. after review, we received a message that those restrictions were cleared but they weren't!

Months later we're still locked out. We've tried reaching out to support multiple times... nothing! They're no help! And there's no way to have another review of or account started!

Just so much trouble getting it to work. Otherwise I would give it a good review! The people at Meta have been very hard working and helpful. It's been so hard to fix and solve my problem. It's been going on for several weeks and it's still not working. There were so many things wrong and the speed and ability to solve these problems has been incredible difficult and really hurt my business. I'm still hopeful and they continue to try and help. It's hard to understand the holdups, but it may be bureaucracy or simply red tape in the system. I have a business that has existed for nearly 30 years and they can't verify it which seems incredible. I've spent many sleepless nights trying to solve this problem. I believe most people would have given up. I have at least 200 hours into this effort. Weeks until 4 am. When I get them on the phone, they stick with me and do all they can. The people have been great and I try to keep a good attitude. I'm creating a national holiday for myself when and if I ever accomplish my goal of connecting my Shopify to facebook and Instagram. It will be a joyous occasion. I don't give up easy, maybe I should, but I hope one day I'll look back and say it was worth it. From a broke businessman struggling to get to a starting point, may your struggles be easy!

If you want dysfunctionality and almost impossiblity (ChatGPT is a brilliant support entity where it help one navigate the Meta mess and its systems) and you are okay with spiraling into exhaustion and going nutty as it relates to trying to get help with everything Meta shops, then you've landed on a great app. ONCE you do get someone, somehow Meta has managed to hire the kindest customer service reps who are sometimes great at being helpful, and other times - the wait - back and forth via email could take days.....or weeks. For a tech company specializing in social media and one of the wealthiest companies in the world, it's an absolute embarassment that they truly don't care about their business clients. I've chosen a succinct way of answering. Otherwise I could write an entire essay on the Facebook experience.

I've spent 2 years sending and uploading every single business entity and tax document we have in our possession and still cannot get the facebook and instagram sales channels linked up. This app doesn't work.

I really like interacting on Facebook, but the only thing that disappointed me was that I created a business account half a year ago to start selling online. However, when I set up the page, I was banned from the platform (before I started posting anything). However, I can't log in to this account, but the business page I created is still publicly available on the platform, including my website address. I created a new account and business page again, but the old page still exists! This makes users feel sorry and the brand is unprofessional! Why aren't banned accounts removed from the platform immediately? And what's the point of that? This is a kind of unprofessionalism for us, including the unprofessionalism of the brand, and the unprofessionalism of the platform, without stability and measures. I'm not denying the rules of the platform, but since the account doesn't comply with the platform rules and is banned, the platform should permanently remove the account instead of keeping it. This is not user-friendly to all users, creators, platforms. This not only temporarily uses space, but also misleads users into searching for an account that is basically impossible to be active. It doesn't make sense!

It is almost impossible to fix things through FB because their "help" processes are incomplete, don't cover all scenarios, and are buggy. E.G. I can't use my account because their verification forces my to verify myself through one path only. I can't complete this process because it only uses my OLD cell phone number. I can't login or run more ads because of this error AND there are no people to speak with and get help.

The Facebook App on Shopify is a powerful tool that helps you connect your store to Facebook and Instagram. It simplifies product syncing, ad management, and performance tracking through the Facebook Pixel.

What I like:

Easy integration of products with Facebook and Instagram

Simplified ad management

Effective performance tracking for ads

Quick setup for Facebook and Instagram Shops

What could be improved:

The setup process can be confusing, especially if you manage multiple accounts

Limited customization options for the Facebook Shop layout

Customer support can be slow to respond

Overall, it’s a solid app for selling through social media platforms. Just be prepared for some initial setup challenges.

Terrible experience so far. Unable to get shop verified, but no details on why other that not meeting compliance requirements. No way to get support of an actual human, I'm fairly tech savvy but just being sent in circles. Incredibly frustrating.
