This app has stopped working: Avoid at all costs until fixed. I have just used Socialhead's version and it was a piece of cake to set up and get working, with exceptional instant tech support . I spent too many hours going round in circles and had to draw the line somewhere - Look at the feedback for this app and you'll understand.

This app is not working properly. I have 111 products and only 103 are activated on the Facebook Sales Channel. On the previous Facebook Sales Channel, all 111 products were activated. Shopify are trying to say I have a cache problem, or that it is Facebook's problem - not theirs, or that I need to remove my Chrome extensions (but I have this issue of two other browsers).

Im just going to echo what everyone else has said. The service is horrible and the app works "sometimes". What I mean by that is this...
It worked when I tried to connect my main FB account to the app. However, it won't let you disconnect without uninstalling the app. Also, if I try to connect another FB ad account to the app, I simply get an error message like so: https://prnt.sc/WjPVxG90bTLT. It states I don't have admin permissions, but I do. You can see this from my chat with a Live FB Rep here: https://prnt.sc/Svz_9yN7DCi2.

When reaching out to support, they tried to troubleshoot the FB page, which had nothing to do with the issue. They obviously have no clue how to handle this.

Pretty useless. I have been trying to create retargeting Ads and it impossible. I keep getting the same error message saying "A problem with Facebook prevented your activity from being published. Try to republish in a few minutes." There is nothing wrong with my Ads account, I have already check everything I could think of. I have no problems publishing Ads directly from Facebook, but what is the point of having the app then?

I'm having problems since yesterday to configure the pixel in the Virtual Store -> Preferences -> configure facebook (pixel), it just returns the error "Sorry, something went wrong.
We're working on getting this fixed as soon as we can."

Full of errors and support is useless, none of the messages have been answered.
Its quite surprising that the support is so bad for such a big platform

Horrible, if one does not pay for Ad then facebook will not allow others to see the page of what you are selling and you will not be able to sell on facebook, the Facebook Ad are a scam they charge you too much and when one sees in Shopify the analytics you will realize that facebook is scamming one since they are not the same as facebook charges you, for example facebook charges you for 10 visits that made to your page and when one sees in Shopify only visited 5 people , Facebook stole you money
