The worst support on the planet!!! My shop disappeared with active customers and I’ve emailed meta over 15 times with each rep not having a single clue on how to fix the situation. This started when they implemented the new update and now we all have the same complain but don’t waste your time contact meta corporate as these meta support “contractors” barely speak English or understand how to fix the situation! They act like they have no clue what’s wrong or what’s going on with the site and make it seem like it’s something you did wrong when clearly based off all these new reviews it’s not just me or any of the other people who left a review, we all have the exact same issues, just know it’s the meta support people that’s the problem and they do not know how to fix the situation, since Oct 2022 I’m still without a shop and I lost all my customers and months of my time! The meta contractors who answer these emails never do their job or don’t know how to speak English, and they just disappear after the first email explaining to them what’s wrong cause they have absolutely no clue on how to respond, fix the situation or they just do not UNDERSTAND ENGLISH ALL TOGETHER!!! I’ve asked for a manager and never get one! I have over 15 emails and two months later and I’m still sitting here with all my shops shut down, my personal fb pages disabled and my pixel no longer working on my Shopify site. I now have chargebacks on my store as my shop where I’ve been selling for the last two years that had active customers and orders literally disappeared in the middle of the night back in November and when I explain this to meta contractors cause that’s what they are and who responds back, they act like it’s you and something you did wrong when clearly it’s not just me based off of all the reviews I’ve just read!!!!! Meta than tells me I’m no longer the admin of my store and I need to be added but who disconnected me from my store? I’m the only owner? So explain that? Everything was connected perfectly and I’ve never advertised but since the new update all my stores are gone, I can’t even add me to my own Facebook account cause I’m now restricted from advertising and when that happens you can not add or manage anything on Facebook so how am I to add me back to the business than? Who removed me? Where is my store? My customers had already paid me and I can’t even ship them products since all the stores are gone!!! Meta try’s to tell me that I do not get paid till after I ship a product which is untrue if you are paid through Shopify only which I am so I get my money on my debit card within 24 hours weather I ship or not!!!! Meta has no clue how things work! After 15 emails and countless screen shots they are now asking me for a video as they do not understand English or understand what I’ve explain in my really long and detailed emails Ive sent to each support person! DONT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THE SUPPORT PEOPLE, they have not fixed one account yet since the update!!!! CONTACT CORPORATE IN WRITING LIKE I DID AND SEND OVER ALL THE RESPONSES META SENDS TO YOU TO SHOW THE PROOF THAT META CONTRACTORS HAVE NO CLUE, don’t speak an ounce of ENGLISH NOR UNDERSTAND English! All my personal fb pages are now disabled and blocked from advertising and the meta people tell me to make myself the admin which I never removed than meta asked me to give them permission to go into my accounts and fix everything which I gave them twice and all they did was connect the wrong shops to the wrong websites and made things so bad now I lost so much money I’m thinking about court action! I’ve asked for months for a manager, for my issues to be escalated to someone who can help and they meta people either do not respond and disappear so I have to keep creating new tickets in hoping to get someone who can fix the situation but based off of all the new recent reviews I’ve just read, this tells me they still have no clue on how to fix this issue!!!! Thanks for nothing “porsha” Candace, John, mealy, Joanne, William, Steve and this is just a few of the people contracted from meta who wasted weeks of my time or just plain old disappeared!!!

Trying to get this to work, and every time I go to make a Facebook campaign, it says I still have to finish setting up my facebook connection. It redirects me to the setup page, which says we are all connected. So I go back to create a new campaign and it says the same thing and redirects me. Not able to do anything... Would appreciate an email to see if we can get this working. Thanks

I would love to be able to write a review, but every time I do I write something that offends the AI checking reviews. So I guess you can no longer be honest about how you feel about anything Facebook related. SHAME. I was TRYING to write about how programmers mark nursing items as non-compliant. That is such a disgrace to every woman out there.

Terrible app - I was JUST told by Shopify support that it DOES NOT support Variants. What's the point of the app then if someone can't choose a size or color of a Product when they're shopping in a social channel.

Thanks for sharing your feedback! Variants are indeed supported. However, in order to meet Facebook's data feed requirements, your product catalogue takes a single product with X amount of variants, and breaks it down into individual product listings to meet Facebook standards. I’ve sent out to an email to you to explain this in more detail. I look forward to your reply! - Abdalla, Shopify Support

The app is not connecting with shopify. I spent several hours trying to solve the problem with no result. Hope support gets in touch with me.

I cant use shopify marketing to publish retargetting ads..... It keeps getting rejected over and over again saying something is wrong with Facebook.

Hi,

There can be some things which need to be set up before you can publish Facebook ads through Shopify. I'm going to send you an email so we can get to the bottom of this and get your ad up and running. Keep an eye out for it!

Hello, could you please check what happens when my catalog is not connected to facebook or rather when I connect to fb some products are connected, not all, that is what appears on the shopify platform and the sales manager on facebook shows me another catalog, with another name and with my products, some of which do not have updated prices. I already spoke to facebook I did what they told me but it was not solved. I also turn to you since I have ads running and now it does not show me the most visited products on the platform, therefore I need you to review the platform and give me a solution urgently. Thank you so much

If I could give it no stars I would!! Poor excuse for what it considers customer service and it attempts to control your business and how you interact with your own customers.

Hi there!

Paola here from Shopify! Thank you for taking your time to write a review and share your experience. I can completely understand your security concerns. Our app's goal is to provide you with a simpler way to sync your Shopify products over to your Facebook account. However, we do not have direct access to your Facebook Business accounts, we only bridge a connection. We also do not interfere on how you will interact with your customers, this is entirely up to you as the Business Owner.

With that being said, I would love to understand more of what happened and answer all of your questions and concerns regarding our Facebook Channel App. I will be following up with you through email shortly.

I look forward to chatting with you!

Après 1 an d'utilisation avec mon compte FACEBOOK ma boutique a été rejetée sans raison ,vos conseillés ont clairement une langue en bois impossible d'expliquer les choses ,grand mystère surtout que j'ai utilisée l'application de la même manière depuis le début . Le pire c'est d'avoir payée pour trouver 130 abonnés et les perdre par la suite parce que vous bloquez mon compte ,argent perdu ,nouveau compte FACEBOOK re créé et bloqué à nouveau sans raisons et explications .
