Meta support was friendly - but that is the only thing going for it. I've been going back and forth with Meta support for the last two weeks trying get all of my products (62 total) that are approved, synced, and visible on Meta commerce catalog and Meta store previews to actually display on the live Facebook/Instagram shops. The most I've seen displayed were 8.

They continually ignored information that actually seemed worth investigating (Such as: Instagram would automatically tag a product—that wasn't visible in the Instagram shop, but was synced and approved—if I posted an image that was similar to product image. From that point on, that product would be visible in the shop. Also if someone purchased a product through Shopify, and the product wasn't visible in Meta shops, after the Shopify purchase, the product would show in Meta shops also).

They continually told me fix products with issues that would prevent them from being on the store. One product issue is being out of stock, but it is actually out of stock). Another was a coming soon/not available for purchase item that had been removed from their sales channel.

I've cleared cache, cookies, tried different devices, different browsers, had others try in different cities. All had the same result.

I removed the Facebook app because it wasn't working. Now I am unable to reinstall — it simply says there's an error and to return to the dashboard.

I have spent the last 48 hours trying to install the Facebook pixel on my shop (without success). I thought the problem was mine, but looking at the comments, I see that many people have the same problem. I am wasting a lot of time with this problem, and potentially money. I contacted Facebook, they sent me to Shopify, and I see in the comments that Shopify is implying that the problem is with Facebook.
The quality of service is really awful.

Following the setup instructions in this app led facebook to disable my account! I've had the account for almost 15 years now and have never had any issue with it, but as soon as I clicked "set up an ad account" per the instructions in this app it completely disabled everything. I've had to upload a driver's license, a selfie, and now I'm just waiting with no reply from facebook, completely missing out on running ads during the busiest shopping week of the year.

Wow, the verification process is super annoying. It is impossible to verify you own a business if you are, for instance, a sole entrepreneur.

I installed this app to set up IG shopping and its so confusing and wouldn't allow me to complete the setup and now I can't even add my IG shop by just my FB catalog saying now my website URL is taken by a different business, because the FB channel app verified my URL and now its all messed up and IG thinks the FB channel claimed it.... how can I even remove that?

Hi there!

Paola here with Shopify! Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your experience with the app. I completely understand how frustrating this situation is. It seems that this could be related to the Facebook domain verification process, which is not separated from Instagram per say. I will be reaching out to you by email shortly so we can find the next steps together to solve this issue.

I look forward to chatting with you!

I sell natural products and makeup, and I don't have any problem with google list, But I got restricted to my business account on Facebook, and I can't use any marketing campaign now, I sent a letter to Meta to know what is the violation I did? , and they keep saying please look to our violation list to know better, completly it's like a reboot answer, I use Facebook since 2009, and I do marketing campaigns since 2010, with 13 pages, I lost all these assets because of this app .
DONT USE THIS APP

Pire application. Si vous avez un problème : débrouillez-vous, personne ne vous aidera. Entre ça et les bannissements sans aucune raison, avec l'impossibilité de recréer un compte, fuyez. Perte de temps.
