READ THROUGH GETTING STARTED
This is so you’ll understand how the Facebook Shop works and get any extra tips from Facebook on how to best optimize your shop.
SELECT WHERE YOU WANT CUSTOMERS TO CHECKOUT
You have 3 options here:
A. Checkout on Facebook and Instagram (In order to use this option, you must be a business address in the U.K. and must have a U.K. bank account)
B. Checkout on your business website.
C. Checkout via Messenger.
CHOOSE SALES CHANNELS
Your sales channels are just the accounts you want to sell from. If you have multiple accounts, you`ll make that selection here. Be sure you have Business Manager, Catalog, and Instagram permission as well.
CONNECT YOUR BUSINESS ACCOUNT
Select from the business accounts you manage. (you may only have one if you`re a small business).
If you don’t have a business account, don`t worry, you can easily create one during this step in the Facebook Shop setup.
Just enter the name of the business manager (we would go with your business name here) and your business email.
ADD YOUR PRODUCTS
You’ll choose the catalog you’d like to connect to, if you already have one, or you’ll create a new catalog here if you don't have one yet.
You may see some catalogs that are grayed out, which means they don’t meet the requirements to use in your shop.
SET YOUR SHIPPING AND RETURNS
Your final step before you get to preview your shop is setting up your shipping and returns.
You can change or edit these later, so don’t stress out about it during your Facebook Shop setup.
Select how much you’ll charge for shipping if you’ll set a charge for an additional item, and how many days shipping takes.
Enter your return window. Facebook requires a minimum of 30 days.
PREVIEW YOUR SHOP DETAILS AND SUBMIT THEM FOR REVIEW
You’ll need to verify that your shop meets Facebook Seller Agreement.
We recommend opening that up in a new window and reading through that fully before you check and submit your shop for review.
Once you’re satisfied, click Finish.
…the review process typically only takes between 24 and 48 hours.
After successfully finishing the Facebook Shop setup process, you can Use Partner Platforms like Shopify or WooCOmmerce, customize shop and Advertise your shop with FB and Instagram.
If you need help with these, we’re just a call away.
