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!

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.

Unfortunatly this channel has not been working for me as well. I have reached out to customer support and have not heard a response. I really need it to work to share my business with my followers. No clue what I'm doing wrong.
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
Facebook/Instagram is one of the worst tools available. Endless errors and issues appear out of nowhere and the support team is absolutely awful. Orders placed through Meta have countless payment errors and I end up having to chase money from customers directly after product has been delivered because Meta arbitrarily cancels them and withholds the money. You'd think one of the biggest tech companies in the world could pull off super basic operations, but no.

If I could leave a 0 or a -5 star review I would.
Dealing with Facebook is the worst customer experience I have ever had. They don't care about small business. If you have a difficult issue - which they cereate because of their stupid system and robots, they will pass you from pillar to post like a ping pong. It is unbelievable how bad their service is. None of the teams want to take responsibility for helping the ''customer'', they just keep passing .
Don't believe them when they say they are here to help. They are not!!

Our account got banned for life from Facebook after using this app. I even spoke to Facebook on the phone and they said too bad. Would not recommend this or Facebook advertising to anyone. How do you ban a fabric company for policy violations? Did the floral quilt offend someone? Anyways they just banned a 7 figure account and they don't care whatsoever. I am seeing a pattern with the Shopify apps that are built with the actual companies, they cause nothing but problems for the businesses. Moving forward we will be sticking with 3rd party apps, at least they care.
Hey there,
Adil here from Shopify. Thank you for taking the time to share your review of the Facebook Channel with us. I'm sorry to hear about the issues you are facing with the Facebook channel. When it comes to restricted accounts, suspensions and bans it is completely handled by Facebook and Shopify has no hand in these decisions whatsoever. However, I'm going to follow up with you in an email to provide you with some information that can help.

This app is garbage. I had a functioning facebook and instagram store for over 1 year. I updated this app in the past hour and now my stores are both blocked by Facebook that they don't meet their commerce requirements. I sell a very non-controversial product, this is unbelievable!!! This app should have 0 stars and be removed from the store for removing existing functionality. I don't even know how much money I will lose now.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and leave a review. When it comes to account eligibility, Facebook has complete control over this aspect. I would like to share resources on how to contact Facebook so that you can get your account status fixed as soon as possible. I will be in touch by email shortly to provide further details. - Anna, Shopify Support
