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.

Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback! I definitely understand how frustrating it is to not be able to connect your Facebook Shop with us after having already done so with our previous app. When it comes to account eligibility, this is something determined directly by Facebook so I would like to get in touch with you to share some resources on getting this resolved and how you can contact Facebook. I've sent out an email to learn more about what happened and provide you with the proper next steps. Looking forward to your reply. - Jamilah, Shopify Support

Very bad, there is always the problem of facebook detection error
The credit card information is sent to facebook, and it is impossible to judge whether the purchase event and api are duplicated, resulting in low advertising efficiency...
很糟糕,一直存在facebook檢測錯誤的問題
一下信用卡資訊傳送給facebook,一下購買事件和api重複無法判斷,讓廣告變的效益非常差....

Confused on how to set up and use. Not user friendly. Very complicated. I just backed out and will not set it up.

After hours of trying to connect my Meta/FB pixel, I give up. This wastes so much of your time. Should be easy to do.

Very annoying interface and doesnt auto archive when items are out of stock so when you try to open other business accounts you get to click through one at to archive them because facebook doesn't view your account in "good standing". They need to clean this interface so bad, everything is beyond clunky.

Simply Frustrating Trying to run a Facebook Audience building add but repeatedly getting this message since last 25 days. I quote "
There is 1 error with this activity: A problem with Facebook prevented your activity from being published. Try to republish in a few minutes" Did spend end number of hours to figure out the problem but absolutely clue less. It does not mention any specific problem to resolve. Tried to republish probably 100 times. but same result

I have always struggled with Shopify's Facebook channel for one reason or another. As other reviews have mentioned, it spams all your followers every time you make a change to a product, and there is no way to turn this off. I ended up having to delete my Facebook Shop completely to avoid this.
Products are duplicated in my catalogue on Facebook any time I update them (e.g. new product name), some products don't appear there, products have wrong prices, wrong images. In short, it's a mess.

Hello!

Paola here with Shopify! Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience with the Facebook Channel app. I completely understand where you are coming from. Deleted products are never truly deleted from your catalog for history purposes. However, products that were changed/deleted, will have their visibility as "hidden" or "staging", which means they will not be visible to your customers. I will be reaching out to you shortly to help you troubleshoot what is happening and set the next steps.

I look forward to chatting with you!

I used the app so I could easily sell on Instagram Shopping. It makes the setup for that really simple, but unfortunately, it randomly, and automatically, posts updates as if they are coming from my shop's Facebook page saying: "Shop has Added a Product To Their Facebook". And I don't just mean one or two, like TONS of these posts. And it's random. It didn't just happen on upload, it happens regularly. Additionally, I only see it in News Feed. It isn't on my shops actual page to where I can delete it when I notice one. Its very frustrating and there is no solution. I have been following a support thread about it for a while, and many of us are having this issue and it isn't being addressed or resolved. So I'm going to have to uninstall this and lose my Facebook Shopping because of it. Shopify & Facebook: PLEASE FIX THIS!

Thanks for sharing your feedback! We deeply appreciate your patience for this reply. 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
