[@Informative-h5g]

Thanks for the helpful video, but once you connect your meta account to Shopify (3:48 where it says "start selling") how long should it take for it to fully connect? I've been waiting around a week for it. Thanks!

[@StewartGauld]

Hey! It should connect straight away! I would re-do the process.

[@StewartGauld]

I'm glad! How is it showing?

[@dygon7663]

at 2:26 you say you can click "create new" to make a new business account, but that doesn't seem to be available? Has this changed?

very helpful video! how long does it take for shopify to approve my store? it's still under review after 10 hours..

[@StewartGauld]

Thanks. It can take up to 28 hours.

[@jjcm3135]

thanks, do you still need to paste the base code into the shopify pages you want to track? Is that still necessary?

[@stunbyamibeauty]

I'm confused about what I did wrong. My shopify recognizes my business page pixel, but when I try to run ads, it only sees my personal page, which is the admins pixel, and for that, I can't track anything. Any suggestions on what to do pls?

[@StewartGauld]

Thats odd. I can look into this and find out why.

[@melomutha1380]

I have the same issue

[@JustDamien2.0]

Same here. My code won't work and I can't verify domain on fb

[@jesf570]

Same, fuck meta

[@pedrosierra4962]

Hey! Great video! My Facebook shop is still “in review”. And I still need to complete my shop verification to start selling on Facebook and instagram. Can I still run ads and have it linked to my website. I would like to set up a shop on Facebook and for instagram in the future. But for now I just want to start running ads and testing products for my site. Thank you

[@StewartGauld]

Thanks. Yes you can still run ads to your website before the verification.

[@Rehansgamming]

Love you bro

[@StewartGauld]

Thanks!

[@LunaNthepersians]

i ahve done this but still there is an issue for example Set up your Facebook shop and ensure the Pixel is connected. This method doesn’t add the dataProcessingOptions directly, so you’ll still need to manually add the code as described above if you need those privacy settings. can you please help me set this up?

[@StewartGauld]

That's odd! I'll have to look into this!

[@amed5027]

❤❤nice one sir.pixel not available in page instead of pixel I can create dataset thanks

Welcome! Sorry?

[@mziembicki]

Great video! I am having trouble creating ads after this step. When I make a campaign and try to select the pixel that I just created, it isn't showing up and is just showing a old pixel that is inactive. Any recommendations how how to fix this? Thanks!

[@StewartGauld]

Welcome! Strange! Did you create the pixel in the right account?

[@mziembicki]

I actually just figured it out. You were right, I wasn’t doing it in the ad account. Thanks for replying!

[@ammfapublishing3048]

Kia ora Stewart! I'm following these instructions, and it takes me to login to Facebook, so I 'continue as...' and it comes up as 'You don’t have access. This feature isn't available to you yet.' I've also tried doing it from the other angle (installing the pixel via facebook) and the same thing happens. Interested if it's an easy fix!

@@StewartGauld thank you, really appreciate it!

[@juniormadlife2642]

Nice video! I'm just wondering that if I use the same facebook ad account for 2 different stores would that be a problem? I will use different pixels for each store. Can data get mixed up or any other problem can occur?

[@StewartGauld]

Thanks. That should be fine if you have separate Pixels. Although, its best practice to have seperate Ad accounts per business.

[@HOLDCOMAUTOPARTS]

Ive started 2 shopify stores and had the same nightmare with the pixels! Easy setup my ass, pixel doesnt show in ads manager

Hi there! I was wondering if you faced this issue... but I followed the steps on connecting Meta to Shopify, and while it says I have a purchase on ads manager almost 4 days ago, it doesn't show up on Shopify. How do I fix this?

You never covered the API vs Meta Pixels step. which one is the best choice?

[@StewartGauld]

This depends. The Meta Pixel is most commen.

[@TheLatsiomichael]

@@StewartGauld is it possible to run both the API and pixel at the same time? And do they both collect info at the same time even though it seems like only one may be connected to Shopify at the same time and one may be connected to the ad being run?

Any plan allows you to set up the Pixel.

I did all the steps and purchased item from my website to test but it didn’t show any activity. Does it take for awhile to show? Hope the pixel is firing

Yes you will not need that anymore.

Thanks this was really helpful - However, when we look at FB we see X added to cart but when we look on the store there's nothing there. Wheres the disconnect?

I'm not quite sure what you mean?

[@EnnioCoppetti]

good one

[@StewartGauld]

Thanks!

[@steffmeisteren]

So when I press "connect account" to connect Facebook account in shopify, it automatically connects to an old Facebook account, which I cannot change! We moved everything over to a personal account, since we managed to create a new Facebook account to setup everything on by mistake in the beginning - which is not recommended - as you also say. How can I remove the old Facebook account so I can connect the pixel to the new one? I'm really stuck at this step...

[@StewartGauld]

Hey, you should be able to switch. Have you seen our Meta Business Account tutorial, you might need to manage your assets better inside of this.
