I can't connect my store, it was connected but the instagram shop wasn't syncing up properly, so I tried again. I removed the connection but when I try to add it now it gives me the error message: Each asset is already associated with a different shop. Please disable one to proceed.

I read the previous bad reviews and Kristin and Aaron nicely reply and refer the bad reviews to contact their support team on the link: https://www.facebook.com/business/help.

Now here's the joke there is no way to contact them! There is a big button in the right top corner of the screen that says "Get support" you click it! You get redirected to https://www.facebook.com/business/help/support but guess what it's just an empty page.

Hi there,

Thanks for taking the time to leave this review. I'm sorry to hear you had issues with connecting your Instagram shop in the app, and with getting in touch with support through the links we provided.

I hope that in the time since you left this review, you've been enjoying the app and haven't had any more issues. If you'd like to talk to support, and for some reason the support link at www.facebook.com/business/help is not loading for you, you can reach out via the 'Get Support' links in the Facebook & Instagram app itself, or we also have a support link in your Commerce Manager too.

Best,
Cailla

If I could zero stars I would! I have reached out to Facebook and Shopify numerous times over the past month due to not being able to publish my Facebook page. I have sent tons of screen shots of the errors that they have asked for and they all seem to not know what is going on with my page. Facebook is keeping me from selling my boutique clothing due to horrible customer service! It's hard to believe that no other business owners have had this same problem.

Even if a product has multiple images, only one image is linked to Instagram Shopping.
This specification makes it impossible to take advantage of Instagram as an image SNS. A single image does not inspire users to buy.

Shopify told me that my Instagram app was no longer up to date and to install the new Facebook app. Since doing this, we have lost both Facebook and Instagram shopping and when I try to reconnect, I am told some of our products are not suitable and the shop is denied. Even after having deleted said products from Shopify, it is still not working. Can somebody please offer some advice as we have lost two shopping channels. Very, very upsetting!

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. This certainly does not sound like the expected behaviour when migrating over to the new app. When it comes to account and product eligibility, this is something determined directly by Facebook so it would be best to contact Facebook directly regarding your shop's eligibility. However, I'd like to hear more details on your experience to see if I can provide some resources or guidance in getting this resolved. I will be sending you an email shortly to learn more about what happened. Look forward to your reply. - Anna, Shopify Support

With all the money Facebook has, one would think they would attempt at providing a user friendly service. What a joke.

The worse when it comes to doing business. I do not plan to do business with Facebook ever again. My items were being rejected after being reviewed as not following guidelines or policy when my business complies and is only skincare. No medical or device, personal attributes or whatever other reason I have been denied.I’m over all done with Facebook. Not a fan or supporter anymore.

Thank you for leaving your review. Your products not being approved by Facebook definitely sounds stressful. When it comes to product approval this is something determined directly by Facebook that Shopify does not have a hand it. Merchant feedback is extremely valuable to help improve our apps, so I'll be following up via email shortly to see if you have any additional details to share. - Anna, Shopify Support

For some reason, I got denied for using IG/FB Shopping and have tried for months to get the decision appealed and have heard NOTHING from support - still just denied with no explanation. SUCKS

Thank you for sharing your review. I can understand how frustrating it can be to have your Instagram Shopping request denied. However, Shopify Support does not have any involvement in the decision or review process. Our app is simply reflecting the decision Facebook sends over. Your best bet is to get in touch with Facebook via their live chat to get more context around your review and what steps to take next. To contact Facebook, you can go to https://business.facebook.com/business/help and click on get started. Please note the get started button is only available subject to volume. So I recommend trying a few times throughout the day if the chat is not available to you. - Abdalla, Shopify Support
