What is this absurd that to connect an Instagram account you NEED a facebook ACTIVE account? I understand that is the same company but this is ridiculous as I can't use the app now because of this

Thank you so much for leaving a review. That certainly does not sound ideal. When it comes to account approval this is something determined directly by Facebook that we have control over. I would be more than happy to share resources on contacting Facebook to see if you can appeal their decision. I ​will be in touch by email shortly to provide further details. - Anna, Shopify Support

Do not down load it unless you want your account disable and then permanently deleted. This has happened to me. First I thought it was my fault then I realize when you try to connect it a facebook automatically diables the account for no reason given. I tried to connect to my account and I lost my account. Facebook does not have anyone live to talk to and because of Covid they are just cancelling the account without review which is not fair. I am very disappointed with this app

To advertise that FB links easily & seamlessly to Shopify is misleading and false. For some users, perhaps it does, but if you’re one of the denied...I can almost guarantee you will be as disappointed as me. My shop (selling painted furniture) hasn't been published bc apparently it doesn't comply with FB Commerce eligibility requirements. Like other reviewers, the specific non-compliance requirements aren’t highlighted, you just get a link to ALL of them. Undoubtedly the reply to this feedback will be that “this situation is entirely controlled by FB and out of Shopify’s hands”. If that’s the case, how does Shopify not have a direct line to FB for their customers for issues like these? This is not a unique problem (read all the 1 star reviews). 4 unanswered support requests from 18 Jan onward, 7 different forums and nearly 2 hours on Shopify chat and still no fix. Though I did get some advice from Shopify chat...and I quote “There are also other forms of social media advertising that you can look at as well. There is Pinterest, TikTok and Snapchat. I can definitely see your furniture on Pinterest : ) it suits that demographic. And if you can make some cool videos with TikTok, who knows! Maybe you can find success outside of Facebook” I’m speechless.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback and sharing your experience. Undoubtedly, I can certainly see how this has been a very frustrating experience given you are still waiting to hear back from Facebook. I understand you are wanting Shopify to help further along the review process with Facebook and although we would love to be able to help, we do not have a direct line to Facebook support at this time. Please do keep in mind that Facebook is a third party platform and, as such, they do not share with us the reasons why a commerce account was not approved. From our end we can only see what is not working, but Facebook does not tell us why it is not working. Hence, this why Facebook Support are the only ones capable of giving you a precise answer and reviewing your account.

Merchant feedback is very important to us, so rest assured I will be sharing your review with our developers to see if this would be possible in the future. Even though, we were not able to give you more information on why your commerce account was not approved by Facebook, I still want to ensure you have all the resources to contact Facebook so they can look into this for you. I will be sending you an email shortly to discuss. - Anna, Shopify Support

My store cannot sell its products on Facebook. I still want to use the FB pixel. I've tried to install the Facebook app and (FB messenger separately) a number of times. Clicking Install App redirects me here: https://ethos-numerology.myshopify.com/admin/apps/21d07b9a03ab6e538a053381def7b15d/?hmac=0ee9b1019ebbe91d546d430ba54a26c324193739656698059c71f46421f18e82&shop=ethos-numerology.myshopify.com×tamp=1644294176 And the error message says: There’s no page at this address - Check the URL and try again, or use the search bar to find what you need.

They refuse to approve me for a commerce account and don't give my any information as to why. They don't care about their customers and don't want to fix any issues. This has really negatively effected my business.
