I have already tried to connect this application several times, but Facebook says my store https://oliveoil.green/ is “violating integrity policies”.
Support sucks. Either no one answers my questions or some stupid bots are talking nonsense.
Ok, I won't violate your integrity policies anymore.
Bye Facebook, I'm deleting you with tears in my eyes and I will miss you so much!

Ein bischen schwierig, und auch hier wird dem Konsumenten die Einstellungen nicht leicht gemacht. Mein Wunsch: denkt doch einmal an den Kunden!

It got disconnected when it asked me to update the app. Now I try to connect again with my accounts and it says that I do not have a commercial account (if I have !! before it worked perfect) and also the messenger chat was installed only on my site, which I do not want. I need a solution.

This app has only caused me stress and headaches from all the issues that come from using it. My website is currently down because my Facebook account got logged out by itself and now I cannot sign back in. Prior to this, my other Facebook accounts I made to separate from my personal account kept getting deactivated every time I tried to make a new business page in order to get Instagram shopping and Facebook ads on Shopify. There was no resolution, countless times reporting and no help whatsoever. No way to contact someone on the phone directly to figure it out. If we did not have to connect Facebook to everything I would not even use it!

I was previously using the Facebook shop and Instagram sales channels and all was working well. After being forced to delete the older ones and install this one, it will not work. I can't connect. It keeps showing many errors. It won't publish products. The old connections tags are all removed. It is a complete nightmare! Do not switch if you don't have to!

I originally had Instagram shopping working and now all of a sudden I am ineligible. Absolute disgrace this app. How can I have Facebook shop and not be approved for Instagram. I would really like to get my Instagram shopping back!!

Hi there! Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback on the Facebook Channel!

Totally understandable that not having Instagram Shopping all of a sudden is concerning. Instagram reviews all accounts to determine eligibility and I'd love to help point you in the right direction. I'll be following up with you via email to offer assistance with this. Chat soon!

The most buggy sales channel you can imagine. Items continually get rejected for many various incorrect reasons. Contacting FB support does nothing beside adds additional layers of frustration with no real help. Support has zero common sense. As soon as an issue gets corrected the same item get rejected several days or hours later... It amazing how wonderful these channels are about collecting data and integrating into your checkout seamlessly but the actual real user experience for those using the channel, is a joke. All development energy was solely put into integrating into processing transactions so facebook can collect a fee and no energy was put into these automated product checks that cannot understand the actual meaning of words used in a sentence.

DO NOT INSTALL! Your facebook page followers will get over-run with product spamming ever time a new product is added. Currently there is no way to turn off the new product notifications. Our facebook page has lost over a hundred+ followers in the last two days. *** Shopify Replied *** Shopify replied to my review but the suggested fix action does not work. I can not turn off ALL notifications because I still need posts to be seen by my customers. I just need to turn off New Product notifications which is currently IMPOSSIBLE in FACEBOOK.

Thanks for sharing your feedback! I definitely understand your frustration with this. That being said, the issue that you've described stems from a setting within your Facebook notifications. Meaning, this occurs entirely on Facebook without any relationship to our app. The way you would solve this is to go to your Business Page Settings > Page Updates > click on Edit > and turn off post notifications so that they don't automatically update every change. This should resolve your feed issue. Thank you! - Abdalla, Shopify Support

Trash, but it's not Shopify's fault , Facebook and Instagram is broken for ages. broken not loading pages many many many bugs, pure broken mess, product tagging not working , facebook pixel not working adds running weirdly ending up with a huge add bill with 0 traffic. Facebook is trash.
