Facebook & Instagram

Facebook & Instagram make it difficult to find my store as I can't connect it to my Facebook account that has all my friends, but had to start a "page" for my shop then not only do I have to grow my facebook account, but I then have to hope that all my friends will like my "page" and decide to follow that too so I have two Facebook accounts to manage instead of just one. My shop is completely invisible on Instagram, not searchable, not findable. I feel like this shopify app is a complete waste of money, not a single sale or view has come from this app.

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.

2/14/25 - I am using this with a supplementary feed. I am showing product price in the images i am generating for the supplementary feed. The images update every time the product price changes. This Meta app is NOT keeping the items in sync on an hourly basis like it should. Meta support is obscenely slow and behind the times with their capabilities. Shopify customers deserve better customization and support.

2/26/25 - after being passed from one meta support person to the next, they finally got me over to their commerce manager team. I did a screen recording and gave them examples of products that were out of sync and they kept addressing the individual examples i gave them and not the root problem. After calling them out on this, they simply replied asking for another product example. They are completely incompetent. I am replacing this feed with something else. Meta support is pathetic.

It is crAPP! They need to include debugging tools into their shopify app connection to give better information about what is not allowing catalogs, meta accounts, and other linkages that are necessary to facilitate creating a working store! They don't want you to use your Shopify account, Meta wants you to use their product catalog and derive it all from them. I and many others have been unable to connect our stores for years! With an "S".

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.

Managing my apparel brand shop on Facebook and Instagram has been a frustrating journey, to say the least. For the past four years, I've faced constant challenges connecting to the shop and maintaining its functionality.

One of the biggest hurdles has been resetting my Facebook password for the shop account. No matter how many attempts I make, I never seem to get it resolved. The lack of a clear or straightforward solution has made it feel like an ongoing hassle, with issues cropping up time and time again.

These technical difficulties have taken away valuable time I could be spending on growing my business, connecting with customers, and creating new products. I’m still looking for a lasting solution but have yet to find one that sticks.

If anyone has successfully navigated these issues or knows the best approach to resolving them, I’d love to hear your advice!

Dear Metas,

Despite making extensive revisions to my product descriptions—removing even legally permissible health claims—my products continue to be rejected. This has made it nearly impossible to advertise effectively on your platform.

I adhere strictly to Swedish regulations, yet Meta’s policies seem to prevent me from communicating any meaningful information about my products. If compliance means I cannot describe the benefits at all, I am left with nothing to sell.

As a result, I will be reconsidering my use of Meta as an advertising platform, as the constant rejections make it unreasonably difficult to conduct business. I would appreciate clear guidance on how to present my products without facing repeated rejections.

I’ve been extremely disappointed with the Facebook and Instagram app on Shopify. Over time, recurring issues—especially the repeated rejection of our products on both Facebook and Instagram—have made it nearly impossible to run effective advertising campaigns. Unfortunately, these issues aren’t isolated; they’re part of a broader, ongoing problem with Meta’s platform, and there’s been no meaningful support available to help resolve them.

Due to these persistent challenges, we have ultimately ceased advertising with Meta altogether. It’s frustrating to invest time and resources into a tool that not only fails to deliver on its promises but also leaves you without the necessary support when problems arise.

I hope these concerns are taken seriously and that significant improvements are made to both the product approval process and customer support infrastructure.

App does not work properly. Items in shop show most expensive variants instead of cheapest. This is costing me sales. Have been trying to get help and no one from shopify or meta seems to be able to fix this.

I am extremely disappointed with Instagram and Facebook after two years of trying to address an ongoing issue with product visibility on my Facebook Shop and TikTok Shop. Despite countless attempts to contact support and resolve the issue, my products remain invisible to potential customers, significantly slowing down the growth and visibility of my brand.

As a small business owner, I rely on these platforms to reach my audience, but their lack of responsiveness and failure to fix this problem has been beyond frustrating. Why is it so difficult to make products visible to the customers who want them?

Their inefficiency and lack of support have caused unnecessary delays in my brand's growth, and it's deeply disheartening to see platforms that claim to empower small businesses fall so short in delivering on their promises.

If Instagram and Facebook truly value their business users, they need to prioritize resolving these issues and providing the support we need to thrive.
