I have never in my life experienced more issues with a company than I have when dealing with Facebook and Facebook ads. The new Shopify integrations have been nothing but trouble since they launched. Currently, I am unable to successfully link my Facebook business manager and pixel. Shopify support tried to help but it is a Facebook issue. And of course, Facebook support is no help as usual... Very frustrating. Wish you could just copy and paste your pixel like back in the day. Typical Facebook, making everything 100 times more complicated than it needs to be....

I created a Facebook account with real name and all correct information to use it with Shopify app. This is my first time on Facebook. Just after making the setup with Shopify app my Facebook account was locked forever. I did nothing wrong or bad since I didn't even had time to use my account. I already tried all available facebook forms for reviewing my case, I sent them pictures and identity cards...etc. Now, I am banned for ever and reviewing again is impossible. contacting Shopify support they suggest I contact facebook.. I told them I cannot contact Facebook because I don't have access to my account. they send me back the same story again asking me to login to my account and use the chat... not working for me.

Unable to connect to Facebook properly. Useless app as it has been like this for a long time. I don't know if Shopify will fix it at all.

This app like many of the other apps on shopify simply does not work. Shopify blames FB and FB blames shopify and the end customer ends up with nothing.

This app seems to have the power to push feed to Facebook without approval. Be aware that any time you add a new product to your shopify store, Facebook publishes it on your timeline without letting you know!

Hey there! Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. I've sent along an email to you outlining how you can create products without them immediately publishing to Facebook. Let us know if you have any questions! - Jake, Support Specialist

This app randomly generates posts from Shopify to Facebook when new products are added to the Facebook Channel, rendering social media marketing campaigns via Facebook and/or Instagram totally useless. There is no facility in Facebook to turn off these posts. We have had very negative feedback from our followers that these bland posts are irritating. We are almost certainly losing Facebook followers. We ask that Shopify puts pressure on Facebook to rectify this situation as soon as possible. Note also that the Developer Reply to EJay's review does NOT work - see below: Developer reply March 1, 2021 Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback! That definitely sounds frustrating and not ideal. In that regard, we have had a few merchants experience the same issue. The issue that you've described is coming from a setting within your Facebook notifications and not from our app directly. We aren't able to control how Facebook displays your product updates however, we did some digging on our end and the way you would turn off these notifications is to go to your Business Page Settings > Page Updates > click on Edit > and turn off post notifications so that they don't automatically update every change. This should turn off the automatic posts. Thank you! - Anna, Shopify Support

Hello we're running into issues integrating the app and our website. The error seems to be coming from ownership issues with our Facebook page. We don't have a single owner to the Facebook page and full permissions are given to the Admins. Facebook doesn't seem to have an option for a single personal page to be the account owner anymore. Some of the errors include: "You do not have admin permissions for the business Peter Coppola you are trying to use, so you cannot complete the flow. Please contact the business admin and obtain permission first." and "To transfer this Page, make sure you’re the admin of the selected Business Manager and the admin of the Business Manager that owns this Page." Again, we're the owners but the app is not recognizing that and will not let us move forward with integration.

Utterly useless .. the old FB app that worked seamlessly was replaced with this one .. and wont connect .. WE HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A FB STORE FOR OVER 4 MONTHS NOW .. Shopify ticket ID is 20655893 .. DO NOT install this app it will disconnect your working app and cause NONE of your tagged FB products & links to work .. ZERO STARS .. Shopify's reposne is to contact Facebook however the MOST ironic thing is that the No1 platform on the planet for "Connecting People" are simply impossible to connect with themselves .. !!!

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I can definitely see why this situation has been stressful given that you still cannot connect your Facebook or Instagram for over 4 months. I know our Technical was working with the Facebook development team diligently to get the error you were you encountering resolved and has confirmed the issue lies within Facebook's platform. My best advice is to continue to follow up with them so they can continue to look into this further for you. - Anna, Shopify Support

The app is giving us a temporary error on Facebook when trying to setup checkout on Facebook & Instagram. Facebook support tells us that the bank is not supported. We tried Chase, Wells Fargo and BB&T for payments and all are giving the same temporary error since January. Facebook support is useless and we were told by Shopify support to contact Facebook! Here is the error on the last screen: "A temporary problem occurred when trying to complete your request. Please try again later." This is not acceptable.

Thanks for taking the time to leave your review. That definitely sounds like a frustrating experience since Facebook was not able to help you with the error message or with adding your banking details. While we have no control over their payment methods/acceptance, I'd still like to ensure we have provided you the resources you need to contact them. I will be in touch shortly via email to connect with you. - Anna, Shopify Support

Every time I update anything on my shopify it appears on my customers news feeds which is very intrusive. It has caused me to loose a lot of followers. Absolutely ridiculous.

I tried to connect Facebook sales channel with my Shopify store and it did not connect. There was a message error after completing the installation saying "There was a problem processing this action. Please refresh the page". After changing many emails during 2 weeks with Shopify support team and speaking with 5 team members, I received an email from Shopify saying that they can't solve this issue because it is from Facebook and they will close my ticket ID. I am disappointed by the support I received. The error appeared on Shopify platform, Shopify should help fixing errors on their platform.

Thanks for sharing your feedback! I can definitely understand and appreciate your frustration. Due to the nature of our app, there is a level of dependency and impact on both ends of the spectrum. However, there are cases where issues that stem from Facebook are reflected in our app, but but do not have a causal relation to the app. It seems our technical team has investigated and ruled this to be the case for your issue. We strongly recommend that you reach out to Facebook's Support team to get that issue resolved. Thank you for your patience and understanding. - Abdalla, Shopify Support

DO NOT INSTALL! Your facebook page followers will get over-run with product spamming ever time a new product is added. Currently there is no way to turn off the new product notifications. Our facebook page has lost over a hundred+ followers in the last two days. *** Shopify Replied *** Shopify replied to my review but the suggested fix action does not work. I can not turn off ALL notifications because I still need posts to be seen by my customers. I just need to turn off New Product notifications which is currently IMPOSSIBLE in FACEBOOK.

Thanks for sharing your feedback! I definitely understand your frustration with this. That being said, the issue that you've described stems from a setting within your Facebook notifications. Meaning, this occurs entirely on Facebook without any relationship to our app. The way you would solve this is to go to your Business Page Settings > Page Updates > click on Edit > and turn off post notifications so that they don't automatically update every change. This should resolve your feed issue. Thank you! - Abdalla, Shopify Support

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

After months of trying to connect I'm still unable to connect the new facebook channel. Tried everything that people recommend on the internet but nothing works. Facebook Shop and instagram connection worked perfect before. Some changes need to be made soon or I will switch to Lightspeed, like many others did with this issue. We are losing so much sales because of this issue. Also both the support from Shopify and Facebook are below standard, both pointing at each other and uncapable to find a solution. They even told me technical support will contact me, but haven't got any response for a week now
