-------------------- ATTENTION FRUSTRATED BUSINESS OWNERS ----------------

YOU FRUSTRATED ! YEAH OF COURSE YES AS I DO SO @OGCLIMBLIFE THIS IS MY DISAPPROVED ACCOUNT BUT ITS NOW APPROVED BECAUSE OF SHAN JOEL @TYPICAL_AGENCY ON INSTAGRAM, they are amazing, managed to get everything I need to sorted, I can now sell prints via instagram...! Thank you... It did take longer than I had hoped, but that was nothing to do with typical_agency, it took over 3 weeks... But if you want to get you instagram approved for selling, @typical_agency is you key...

Worst customer service ever. All in an attempt to be able to tag my products in IG. You would think I was asking Shopify and IG to solve COVID-19. Utterly disappointed.

It has taken over a week for IG to approve this app and product tagging. We see that it sometimes takes a while for IG to approve a store channel. Is there an expert that can review our store and ensure we have done everything correctly to encourage approval of the channel? Thank you!

Thank you for leaving a review! I'm afraid Shopify has no insight into Instagram's review process, however it's possible that you're getting stuck in their review queue because of a technical error. If that's the case, removing the sales channel completely and re-installing it may be helpful. You can do this under Settings > Sales channels > click the trash icon.

I will follow up with you via email to see if we can do any further troubleshooting. If you have any further questions about the channel, feel free to reply there. Thanks! - Brie, Shopify Support
