Facebook & Instagram

There is a glaring issue affecting the FB integration right now and it needs to be remedied. .....
The issue can be described as auto/involuntary/unpredictable posts being made “by” a business page/shop to its followers’ timelines, when an item in the synced FB shop is updated within your Shopify store. Ignoring the fact that this feature is also malfunctioning (posting when an item is not actually updated or added at all, but instead posting sporadically), this particular post cannot be disabled and does not even show on the timeline of the business whose page it is posting from. .....
It is gross. It is spammy. It’s 0% brand-consistent since it’s auto-generated. FB is using our brand to make arbitrary and pointless, off-brand random and wrong posts to our followers to the point they think it’s spam.
....
This of course negatively affects businesses who maintain a curated social feed to be on-brand and user-friendly for their followers, but it is also frustrating consumers/users on FB (as evidenced by many forum posts from exasperated Facebook users thinking it is a glitch.. it’s THAT terrible that they believe their account is malfunctioning....)
....
There has never been a better time for consumers to leave Facebook, so why would you institute features that give them even more reasons to do so, Facebook? Good grief. Fix this. Businesses who have left recent positive reviews simply haven't noticed that FB is making these spammy posts using their biz page (since it doesn't show on the actual timeline of the biz, but only if your follower scrolls their newsfeed). Ridiculous, really.

Nightmare
1) Some of our active products with stock does not appear in our Facebook catalog
2) For products which are inactive / out of stock, still showing 'available' on our catalog.

I asked for help setting up my Facebook page to my business website. The guy who originally set it up committed suicide last year so I cannot get them to help out. I sent more than half a dozen times photo Id, Passport. Driving licence, bank statements and signed statement and still no one has helped. Now they are asking for me to send in a photograph of my signing a statement. It’s an absolute joke !! I have now dealt with more than 12 people who are constantly asking me for the same things. Disgraceful!!

it doesn't work. keeps saying there is an error when i try to open it.

which means i now can't add a pixel either

Really struggling with the facebook apps, trying to set up a new collection in my FB insta store, i spend hours doing it then it isnt recognised! sems like FB is all over the place at the moment, no customer support or help either.
Also it seems to import every single item i've ever had on my store, including all the out of stock, archived products, its making the feed enormous and full of things i dont want, really wastes loads of your time!

My shop is rejected from Facebook & Instagram. It doesn't say why. I have requested a review and have tried to contact Facebook & Instagram with no luck. If I knew why it was rejected I could fix the problem. Is there anyone that can help?

Absolute dog water. All of my products have been approved to sell through the FB and IG sales channel for over a year now. I never had an issue tagging my products before. Recently, when I tag my products, which have been approved and are currently listed as approved, in posts the tag gets removed saying I've violated meta's policies. I've read the policies and I haven't violated anything. I sell skincare products. I submit for review and never hear back. There is no explanation as to which policies I have "violated". I've tried uninstalling the sales channel and reinstalling it, if that doesn't fix the issue then I'm removing Meta/IG shop from by business instagram and just directing people to my website. I'm not going back and forth with customer support or any of that nonsense. It's not a good use of my time. I have a website I'd prefer for people to use anyway so if this reinstallation doesn't work I'm done with this rigamarool.

Are they crazy? The update in November basically lets Facebook take over your store. They have access to everything you do and your customers. Shopify should be more interested in protecting there customers information and best interest than promoting Facebook. I would highly suggest you remove the application or put your settings to conservative. I hope Shopify did not automatically share my customers information with Facebook.

Since switching over from the old facebook shops app to this one, my shop has now been removed and I have no reason why and have been trying for months to see what I am doing wrong. I emailed shopify support and they said it is facebook's fault. No one from facebook to contact though. I was running ads before and now cannot. Big thumbs down from me ... this is our business and random crap like this affects our income. Not happy to say the least.

impossible to get to work. in the facebook pixel none traffic go to facebook from shopify. i think the pixel was never deployed, but say thats working fine in shopify, more easy will be get access to copy/paste the pixel code in the website. :S
