Facebook & Instagram

There are too many steps to follow and it is confusing. Especially if you are not computer savvy. I will you could click just one button for integration.

This is one of the grand examples not to use 3rd party apps.

The Instagram & Facebook integration for Shopify is incredibly complicated to use. There is basically no support - you can talk to Meta Pro Agents that work overseas, they're lovely and try their best but they don't have enough permissions to actually resolve any issues. They can only raise a case for follow up with what they call their "internal team".

It seems that this app requires a Meta Business verification, which takes up to 4 weeks to process. It needs a verified Instagram account and a verified Facebook page. The Shopify app asks for some business documents and states that shops are validated within 2 business days.

Our shop has been repeatedly rejected, even though the Meta Business Manager indicated that we check all the boxes to be approved for the Shopify integration. Contacting support renders the standard and equally useless info that we don't qualify to be approved. They don't tell you why, which is very frustrating. It took us weeks to figure out, that we have to verify our Meta Business Manager first.

One agent even told us our Instagram account didn't have enough posts and we should just keep posting and see what happens. Ridiculous.

Writing this we're still not approved even though the process is ongoing for quite some time now and we've been talking to five different agents.

What adds to the confusion is that Meta Business needs personal Facebook accounts to manage Facebook pages and Instagram accounts. If you're more than one manager it just messes everything up because different people end up with different permissions. Even once everyone has full permissions for everything they don't properly sync accounts. When logging in with our Instagram account the set cookie prevents us from logging into the business manager. We have to clear cache, use incognito mode or a different browser.

It's beyond comprehension that a company like Meta is unable to provide a smooth, SIMPLE integration with substantial support for their business customers.

GOOGLE is my baseline and I compare everything to them: simple integrations and if things don't work out an amazing, FAST and HELPFUL customer service.

I used the app to help me connect my business page to Shopify. It was very user friendly and I did not have any questions

What's the point? I try to connect via Shopify to Facebook utilising this ad. I have attempted so many times that I am uninstalling once again in order to see if that will fix the issue but I will not hold my breath!
This is not a rare problem but attempting to rectify as an end user & store owner has a massive impact on business and the working day.

I'm just not exactly sure what's happening. Its above my paygrade, unfortunately, despite the fact I own the company. It seems like we were all set, but I'm GUESSING FB changed its terms, so we had to do what was requested.

Like many others who have reported the same issue with this app from Shopify in the Community forum and 1* review comments, our Facebook account was restricted within minutes of installing. We only required it to set up our pixel. We now cannot advertise at all with Facebook or Instagram. I have taken the necessary steps Facebook request to review our account but, due to COVID, it states there are delays. As a wedding business severely impacted by current COVID regulations in the UK, this is disastrous for us. Sarah on Shopify Support chat tried her best to help but said Shopify cannot escalate issues to Facebook which is disappointing considering Shopify's app caused the issue for us and others. I would have expected the Shopify app developers to be able to resolve issues directly with Facebook rather than leave it to their clients to resolve with Facebook. Our only option is hope Facebook review our appeal soon... or that Shopify step in and take ownership.

Easy to link to my Shopify store and setting up my catalogue there. Excited to check all the new options this channel gives me to boost my sales. I'm also thankful for the kind and nice support received. On this matter, as always, Shopify is a 10/10. Thank you, guys!

For some reason there know for always restricting your account and won't be Able to run ads because of this.
