Facebook & Instagram

I have never seen something worse like this APP , doesn’t work, I try since 4 days to connecting with my Facebook account but always rejected, stay away from this App

This app is garbage. It won’t even load for me after barely being able to re-install it. Fix this because I’m running a business and need this to be working.

Meta needs serious overhaul of their business processes. We have been told that our primary domain (verified by Shopify store) is verified by some business manager account. This situation resulted in us not being able to tag our products in our Instagram and Facebook shops. Have spoken to multiple agents, showed them the proof of domain ownership as well domain info within Shopify's settings, but they are copying and pasting responses to our queries. For example, they keep asking us to verify the business within business manager, whereas their own system states "business not eligible for verification" so how can we verify it. I can give umpteen examples of classic definition of complete disconnect, but I will stop here. They have successfully pushed us towards the path of uninstallation as without domain verification we cant operate our insta or facebook shops.

It's been four weeks now, upmteen calls, messages and chats with Meta support with just copy and paste replies from them with zero help.

Entire story:
We bought the domain in Dec 2023 from GoDaddy and tried to verify the domain on Meta Business only to find out that Kronos Marketing had it verified in 2021 and since then closed their business. Now we contacted through meta business a request to Kronos Marketing to allow us have access and they never responded as they have closed the business. Went to Shopify to seek help, they asked us to go to GoDaddy and find if Kronos Marketing still had verification code in domain. GoDaddy confirmed tat there is none. Went to Meta support gazillion times with a simple request as domains get sold and resold so they should be able to initiate reverification to previous owner.

Of course, Meta wont listen as always and would give copy paste response something like this - "we have escalated it to our Pro team and they are looking into it" and all they do is copy paste responses which never solves the issue but window dressing.

We have raised this issue with Meta more than a month ago, and even the fifth chat session has the same response after more than a month "we are still looking into it" Wow - simply wow!

Enlightening information for Meta:
1. Domain ownership changes frequently in e-commerce.
2. Once verification of Domain in Meta business manager does not make the domain owner till eternity
3. Reverification process for domain ownership can cut down your million support calls
4. Your 3.8 star rating can improve by deploying simple logic into your business processes
5. Meta is not invincible - listen to customer and ACT to course correct instead of just copying and pasting.

Update on March 20, 2024:
Meta asked us to submit an affidavit that we own the domain. Provided signed copy on March 08th, 2024 and have not heard back from them, instead they stopped the integration of the Shopify store. Now it is giving error code 11 and there is of course no reply or no help from their support.

If I could, I'd rate 0. Unfortunately they were no help. I added the app to be able to Instagram product tag because apparently this is the only way?? I was denied for not having any products to sell. Finally, I made my page not private and showed that I do indeed have products. I filed an appeal but apparently you have to upload products to a Facebook catalog ALL OVER AGAIN? And if you file an appeal once, according to Facebook Contact Support, you cannot file a second appeal. The app is useless. The support is useless. There is literally no way to move forward with any help for small business owners who are just trying to learn and engage in social media. There is literally no way to Instagram product tag unless you make a Facebook account and catalog, BUT if you mess up and accidentally file an appeal because you thought you had products in there, they will not allow you to file an appeal again. There is literally no solution. I really hope they - Instagram and Facebook - disassociate themselves and fix this issue. This really sucks because now I have to move forward as a business without the use of Instagram to help. Other businesses who signed up for Instagram product tagging before this change will be able to flourish but the rest of us moving forward who have one bump in the road cannot redeem themselves. I was even willing to pay someone for their services to help me but once I read you can only appeal once? I would have paid for them to hit that bump as well. It's useless unfortunately :(

I can't even download this app, it's just showing the URL is wrong, it should be fixed as soon as possible.

the app doesn't sync and Shopify customer service is sh*t. this specialty team they speak of doesn't exist. complete waste of my time

It is very frustrating, Instagram approved my store but shopify keeps saying that it is not eligible, nobody gives me an answer, everything is message circles with nothing clear, without a solution I have days with the problem and nobody solves

I tried accessing multiple times this feature, but all the time it shows am ineligible for this. Worst experience ever.

If I could give Facebook a zero or negative number I would. I know it won't matter to them what is said here but this has to be conveyed. They awarded me a $400 ad credit for my Shopify store. Thought wow, that's really cool. Started to use it, and was $6 into it, when they suspended my Facebook account. But that's just the beginning. While under suspension (and not able to access my account) they decided to remove the ad credit. But not only did they remove the credit, but they also charged me $75 and $164.84. Of course, support won't answer any requests. That's Facebook, the King of being the worst customer service. Called my bank to see what could be done and the only thing I could do was replace the card I had given them (and many others online to pay for things). That was the only way to stop future charges from being assessed. I will NEVER use Facebook again. Not that they care but talk about UNETHICAL business practices. Facebook is the KING of them. Absolutely the worst app!

NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH FACEBOOK. I NOW OFFICIALLY HATE FACEBOOK. WASTED SO MUCH TIME WITH THESE BOZOS. The app developer responses are robotic as they are same for every piss poor review. I'm just going to completely disconnect from SHOPIFY ALL TOGETHER. Im sick and tired of wasting time and MAKING NO MONEY.
