Having the worst time connecting my catalog to facebook and instagram. The help I have been getting has been terrible I send screenshots and video recording and they keep asking for more and more and I get nowhere.

Installed and now the account is frozen, Facebook says my site goes against FB policy but wont say what that is. It was working before upgrading. It been like this for 5 weeks. Neither Shopify or Facebook are able to help as the review process is done by a separate group in Facebook who no one has access to. Shopify need to get this sorted, Im not the only one this has happened to

This used to work well but due to some recent updates, I'm no longer able to connect my Facebook brand account as well as Instagram and I lost all the synced products on my Facebook shop. I contacted the support team and got the explanation that Facebook/Instagram shopping aren't available in my country which in fact they are!

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. That definitely does not sound like an ideal experience. When it comes to account eligibility and supported countries, this is something determined directly by Facebook. I'd like to confirm which country you are currently operating out of so I can provide you more guidance. I will me reaching out via email and look forward to hearing back. - Anna, Shopify Support

Impossible to use. I installed the the Sales Channel app, pixel, and then there's the business manager, that helps track everything. You have to make sure they all line up and that the admin account is your personal account and then add your business pages,catalogs,and ad managers as assets...to the correct account to have permissions to manage them. After googling/youtubing all of that to get everything in the right place, all of the products in my catalog get approved, but my store gets rejected!??!? I'm not sure what I'm missing. I don't know if you have to have X amount of followers or what is wrong. It says my store is not approved and it directs me to the business requirements/eligibility pagessss, (basically lengthy terms & conditions section). After reading it, I'm even more confused because my store should be eligible...However, it doesn't give you the specific reason or problem that needs to be fixed. I've messaged the "help link" but have yet to receive a response. I've lost daysss...trying to figure out the Metametrics puzzle...I thought inserting code to verify my domain was going to be the hardest part...unfortunately, I was wrong. Verifying my domain at least had step by step instructions available directions on where to go if it didn't work. Good Luck!

keeps rejecting my commerce even when I have no errors and everything approved. its hard to get customer support. I was told I don't have enough followers and likes, so this is a reason of trustworthiness, but FB is willing to take my money for ads ?? how does that work?

Thank you so much for leaving a review. That certainly does not sound ideal. You have definitely taken the proper next step in getting in touch with Facebook regarding your commerce account. I have seen the requirement of trustworthiness come up from my experience with other merchants. While Shopify does not have a hand in the approval process, I would like to share some resources on how you can build up your following while growing your business on Instagram so you can be approved by Facebook. I will be sending you an email shortly. - Anna, Shopify Support

Worked well for about 2 weeks before the app integration disconnected Shopify. Now my Facebook, Instagram & Messenger are no longer integrated with Shopify and the app will not recognize my Meta pages. I have contacted both Shopify and FB customer support. Neither was able to help and neither followed up as promised. Meta is our largest customer referral source and we are losing money every day the integration is broken!

Hi there,

Charlotte here from Shopify support, thank you for taking the time to install and use Facebook channel on your store and leave a review. It sounds as though you may have been affected by a known outage on Facebook, which prevented users from logging into their Facebook accounts. It has since been resolved by their team, but I'm going to follow up with you over email to open up the lines of communication and see how we can provide more support for you on this.

I can't get any help, unfortunately. My account keeps getting temporarily disabled every week or so, and I cannot reach out to anybody. Reviews last for days and I never get an actual reason for the disabling. I comply with every policy, yet I still encounter issues and have nobody to ask for help from to at least find out if I am doing something wrong and what that is. On top of that, this app keeps showing me errors. Been trying to reconnect my store for the past hour and I keep getting different errors and time-outs. Really frustrating.

Facebook orders do not sync and integrate with the Shopify platform. Facebook confirms the order has been placed, but nothing shows up on the Shopify end. I used to love the Shopify platform, but recently it has been nothing but a nightmare. After reading hundreds of forums and spending countless hours, still no response from the Shopify support. We all would appreciate some help before we change to another platform.

The app doesn't work. It says "There was a problem with this request. We're working on getting it fixed as soon as we can." It's been several days!
