Facebook + Instagram SUCK! No support whatsoever! I'm not sure why even try with this evil company anymore!

Had to uninstall with the channel constantly posting updates to FB page feed with no option to disable. New products, price updates, etc. are all automatically posted to your feed. Need to give users choice If you're a fan of choice and controlling the content on the front end of your socials, this app ain't for you...

This app does not have enough detail to work with the ads manager. its simpler to just make ads in the ads manager unrelated to this app, but if you do, then the app is not smart enough to count the costs of the ads, so its a lose lose for everyone.

Terrible app. As other have also mentioned. FB blocked my ability to have a shop and there is no one to get support. This has been going on for weeks and no resolution. Very very very frustrating! Shopify and Facebook you owe your customers/clients good service. Robots are not working!

The pits. Ever since they implemented reviews, people have been giving low stars for the most ridiculous things. I've removed it for my mental health. People are lazy and don't try to email first!

Horrible app that's not connecting. Then when you call for help With Shopify. There's nothing we can do. Bad for business.. needs major improvements. They should team up with Facebook and get this figured out.

Really struggling with the facebook apps, trying to set up a new collection in my FB insta store, i spend hours doing it then it isnt recognised! sems like FB is all over the place at the moment, no customer support or help either. Also it seems to import every single item i've ever had on my store, including all the out of stock, archived products, its making the feed enormous and full of things i dont want, really wastes loads of your time!
I’ve been trying to connect my Facebook account and instagram, but it keeps saying error. How am I able to get assistance since I can’t speak to a live agent.

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. Charlotte | Shopify

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 have always struggled with Shopify's Facebook channel for one reason or another. As other reviews have mentioned, it spams all your followers every time you make a change to a product, and there is no way to turn this off. I ended up having to delete my Facebook Shop completely to avoid this. Products are duplicated in my catalogue on Facebook any time I update them (e.g. new product name), some products don't appear there, products have wrong prices, wrong images. In short, it's a mess.
Hello! Paola here with Shopify! Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience with the Facebook Channel app. I completely understand where you are coming from. Deleted products are never truly deleted from your catalog for history purposes. However, products that were changed/deleted, will have their visibility as "hidden" or "staging", which means they will not be visible to your customers. I will be reaching out to you shortly to help you troubleshoot what is happening and set the next steps. I look forward to chatting with you! Paola | Shopify Support
Even if a product has multiple images, only one image is linked to Instagram Shopping. This specification makes it impossible to take advantage of Instagram as an image SNS. A single image does not inspire users to buy.

NOT easy to use and when it is finally set up Facebook autogenerates posts ANYTIME you change ANYTHING in your shop. These posts do not appear on your business page profile i.e there's no way to delete them, but they DO appear in your follower's News Feeds. So what this means is anytime you change something in your shop your followers on Facebook get SPAMMED with autogenerated posts that you cannot control, and there's NO way to disable/turn off this feature. It is aggravating and humiliating honestly.

I have been trying to sync my Shop with Facebook for the past month. When I try to update my phone number, Facebook says they sent me a verification code but I never receive one. I have been doing this periodically, because you are allowed a limited amount of requests for the verification code per day.
Hi there, Vance here from Shopify. Thank you taking the time to leave feedback for the app. I've sent you an email to connect and offer further support to help you work through the phone verification issue you described. Talk soon! Vance | Shopify
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! Paola | Shopify Support
After hours of trying to connect my Meta/FB pixel, I give up. This wastes so much of your time. Should be easy to do.
Hello there, My name is Markus from Shopify's marketplaces support team and I first want to thank you for leaving feedback on our app. It's always important for us to see the current issues facing our merchants that lead to leaving a review. I was able to see that you meanwhile have successfully connected your Store to Facebook but will reach out to you in case you need further assistance to get the most out of your Store and Facebook. Markus | Marketplaces Support Specialist Shopify
I'm really having a hard time connecting Instagram to my Shopify account, despite repeated attempts, and supposedly being approved by Meta / Facebook... Not sure what to do.
Hi there, Nate here from Shopify. Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your experience with the Facebook channel app. While account approvals are in Facebook's scope, we can definitely make sure that you get the support and resources you need to help get you set up. I'll be sending an email out to open up the lines of communication and help where I can. - Nate | Shopify
This has been a horrible experience I have been dealing with an issue for months.. Facebook support says it's a Shopify issue and Shopify says it's a Facebook issue. If I could rate Shopify's customer service I would give them a low score as well. I have pending orders on Instagram that I can not cancel or fulfill (and I was not paid for them). My customers are mad because they paid for something that they have not received and the orders are not showing in my Shopify store. It just seems that no one cares about this issue and it is completely ruining my business reputation and my business credibility. I am beyond frustrated at this point and I am seriously considering going to another platform. I will be seeking a refund for Shopify because I paid in advance. I am not just ranting and did not exhaust all options. I really really tried for months. The last Shopify customer service person told me he would be off for a week and he would let me know something when he came back..smh. And I am not the only person having this issue. Facebook support and Shopify support have completely dropped the ball on this and I wish I could get a refund and go elsewhere!
Hi there, Nate here from Shopify. Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your experience with the Facebook channel app. We definitely want to make sure that you get the support you need when it comes to the issues you're experiencing. However, we are limited in our ability to help if the channel has been uninstalled from your Shopify store. With that being said, I'll be sending an email out to open up the lines of communication and help where I can. - Nate | Shopify
