A couple months ago I used the Shopify app to set up the Facebook and Instagram stores whereupon FB promptly flagged my store due to not meeting their commerce criteria, whatever that is. They don't make it easy to find out why, either. The process is so convoluted it takes hours hunting down the issues, and nothing has been resolved. My guess is it has to do with the Shopify feed including items that are in draft status, have no inventory, or ineligible (gift certificates, apparently)... so then why are they included??? This is the exact sort of problem I count on an app to avoid. I don't get much traffic from FB anyway, so didn't bother with it again until recently. I contacted FB who provided some guidance. I managed to find and delete the problem items, but they still have my store flagged... I sent them a screen shot showing no issues and asked what to do next. They just resent me the same info as before. After reading other recent reviews, I'm deleting the app... not worth the aggravation.

Horrible. All the sales channels that shopify offers are so frustrating.
I opened the google one a week or so ago. so many problems. Stupidly i thought let me try facebook channel. Spending the half hour it takes to set up the account isn't an issue. It's getting the you've been banned..... Like hello what is wrong with your company. I literally just added some info. I don't know if i did every step correctly but my god...so frustrating.
I understand that this wasn't shopify's fault. I'm just letting others no what they can be in for if the get this channel. Update: Totally banned by facebook. They don't let you know why. Very frustrating.

Hi there,

Charlotte here from Shopify support, thank you for taking the time to install and use the Facebook channel on your store and leave a review. I understand that you were seeing some kind of ban or disapproval on your Facebook accounts in the channel. These are actually decisions made by Facebook directly, and not something Shopify has control over. That being said, 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 have been trying to contact someone for 10 days on both facebook support and shopify and like the reviews before mine, I am having an issue with shopify syncing with my facebook shops. Orders are not syncing tracking numbers and I can not capture payments. Its frustrating enough that I am not able to make more sales because I can not capture payments, I am hoping someone from Shopify or facebook can resolve this, if they can then it would be an amazing tool, and channel, but if you cant even sync your orders with tracking numbers or capture payments, then why would one want to go into business. I am already at loss because my payments cant be captured.

Only uploads one picture from your product instead of uploading all of them. Good luck selling a product with just one image.

Catastrophique. En juin, Facebook a suspendu mon 1er compte, supprimé ma première page pour finalement supprimer totalement mon compte et ma seconde page. J'ai justifié de mon identité plusieurs fois. Ce compte était rattaché à ma boutique shopify sur instagram et l'est encore un peu mais pas complètement, c'est incompréhensible, vraiment.
Mon deuxième compte est suspendu, je ne peux pas faire de pub sur instagram à cause de mon compte facebook suspendu. Je ne peux pas faire de lien entre shopify et instagram avec ce nouveau compte.
Impossible de travailler avec META je vais devoir fermer ma boutique définitivement A CAUSE DES ROBOTS meta.
Impossible de joindre un HUMAIN et tout ce qui se passe est incompréhensible. Stop IA ok pour les humains. C'est insupportable.

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
