This is awful - I keep trying to connect Meta with my Shop and it keeps saying I am unable to connect as I am not the admin, however when I login on Meta I am the admin.

I have tried to reach out to Meta and have been unsuccessful. Really Disappointed and would not recommend.

EDIT - I cannot find help on Facebook Business as I need to set up a commerce account, which I cannot do as it says I am not able to link, therefore I cannot access help

Having a really hard time with the app. It was working well but then the prices are not updating. I removed the facebook channel, disconnected my facebook page from instagram, deleted the shop and collections. Tried to set everything up from scratch but the prices are not right when I tagged on instagram.

Been on this constant circle or errors or could not connect to Instragram account. Go through all the setup in Facebook Commerce manager, and then try to setup and never does.. It creates product catalogs that are not fully setup, and unable to go back and modify. Facebook help is not there at all.. Spent days trying to uninstall, reinstall, starting from square one over and over, to simply not get any help..

We use the App, but it is impossible to exclude products from the feed. At first is look like its possible, but in the end it doesn't work like that.

I can't use Shopify with Facebook or Instagram. Please resolve our problems as soon as possible. Instagram shopping is very bad in integration with Shopify.

Ads Account disabled after switching to this, no explanation, and very little assistance...I wasted so much money on Shopify in general these past few months, what a scam. So disappointing and frustrating. My first ever store on Shopify and I was just starting to get the hang of it.

Thank you for taking the time to leave you review. I can certainly see how frustrating it would be to not be able to advertise on Facebook. When it comes to account eligibility, this is something determined directly by Facebook so I would like to share resources on how to get this resolved. I will be sending you an email shortly to learn more about what happened and provide you with the proper next steps. Look forward to your reply. - Anna, Shopify Support.

I tried adding this app to integrate my shopify account and fb disabled my account. 8 year old fb account gone and there is probably no way to fix this. Shopify should contact facebook to resolve this issue, everyday so many people get their accounts disabled. If you can't do anything about it for god sake DISPLAY A WARNING STATING "YOUR ACCOUNT CAN BE DISABLED!!!" DON'T YOU HAVE ANY PRODUCT MANAGERS SERIOUSLY ? DON'T ASK FOR MY FEEDBACK DISPLAY A WARNING OR REMOVE THE APP, OTHERWISE I WILL LODGE A COMPLAINT IN CONSUMER COURT

Thank you for sharing your experience. I can definitely understand how it would be stressful to have your account disabled by Facebook after setting up the app. I can assure you that this is not a common occurrence. As you know already know, Facebook determines account eligibility so I want to ensure you have the proper resources to get this resolved. I will be sending you an email shortly to provide you the next steps. - Anna, Shopify Support

Unable to connect to Facebook properly. Useless app as it has been like this for a long time. I don't know if Shopify will fix it at all.
