Thank you for this great tutorial. While I'm not a Shopify user, it explained the setup in more detail to me. My products are added, and the shop is live, but I wonder how customers can actually navigate to it now? I don't have a direct link on my Facebook business page.

Facebook Marketplace is good from an B2B perspective. i.e Targeting Retailers and Wholesaler using Marketplace!

@@learnwithshopify thank you so much. If I start with my own Facebook can all my friends see the activities or can I select who can see. I like to keep my Bussiness private

[@learnwithshopify]

Hi there, Shamila! If you decide to sell on Facebook, you can set up a page for your shop and this won't be publicly linked to your personal Facebook account. You can read more about selling on Facebook with Shopify here: bit.ly/3omkPrb.

Thank you so much! Do you have a copy of the video without the music background? I would appreciate that so much! Thank you!

[@DrJohnnyJ]

Please don't say that the video is for Facebook when it is for Shopify.

Do you need to sink a shopfiy to your facebook shop? Or can you manually build a facebook shop without shopify?

[@learnwithshopify]

Hi, Gianni. Syncing the two platforms is definitely not necessary. You are able to upload your products that you want to sell on the Facebook Marketplace without Shopify. However, using both is a great opportunity to expand your customer base as well as utilize Shopify's features for your business.

[@giannilupo1234]

@@learnwithshopify I have another question. I currently have a facebook marketplace that I have been operating for over a year and become relatively proficient. I would like to start a FB shop. Where do I begin? I have the shop I just do not know if I should use shopify or even how to setup shopify. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

[@learnwithshopify]

Thanks for the added information, Gianni. We always recommend signing up for our 14 day free trial. It is the best way to get a firsthand feel of the platform and how it can work for you and your business. Here is a link for you to get you started (bit.ly/3Re37TM). We have also included this help document (bit.ly/3Ei4IDM) that goes over the main features of Shopify for your reference.

[@chrislambert3708]

Sorry but once you have a FB ecommerce and shop created, what is the step needed to add items to marketplace? I'm in the US but I don't see the option for marketplace.

[@BFOJ0000]

If I'm not a business but am retired and my hobby is refurbishing computers and posting them for sale at cost, is this a violation of Marketplace? I do not charge for my labor as this is my hobby and keeps me busy in retirement. I also donate computers to non-profit, charities, and people I know can't afford much.

[@KiberOlder]

Hi. Can you tell me why the ads posted on the marketplace are not visible in the output. I sent the link to my friends, they also do not see, the error "item removed from sale or finished" appears. I have everything set up correctly, how to be and what to change?

[@learnwithshopify]

Hi, there. Can you check in your ads manager to see if the ads are currently active and returning any analytic information? -Rio

[@KiberOlder]

​@@learnwithshopifyYes, the ads are active. Statistics zero, the only view a couple of pieces of it I posted when placing ads in the group. and then skulked to his other account and moved. So it remained in the statistics and that's it. I found where the man had 180 ads and at some point he had the same thing that happened to me. I could not find a clear answer

[@learnwithshopify]

When was the ad uploaded? Also, how is your targeting set up? It may not be delivering if your ad targetting is too narrow. -Rio

[@OCAmputee]

My business assets does not have the "enable Facebook Marketplace" option. It says everything else is connected, though.

[@rajudesai3069]

Amazing videos topics

[@clodycates]

Thank you so much for this great vid. Do you have any info on how to fix the missing: fb:app_id error. Nobody seem to have an answer for this for Shopify. Thank a bunch!

[@learnwithshopify]

Hi! Are you seeing this error in the Facebook Debugger tool? This is outside the scope of Shopify Support, but there's a third-party article here that might be helpful to you: bit.ly/3Bseu4d.

[@clodycates]

@@learnwithshopify Thanks so much for the quick reply, I really appreciate it. Great info, but my site still won't verify. I have done everything as indicated and it's been over 48 hours and still get the error message of: Domain Verification Failed Unable to verify the domain, each time I click on the green verify domain button. :(

[@learnwithshopify]

Hey, Clody! Thanks for your response. May I ask is this the Facebook domain verification process or the regular domain from your admin that you have added?

[@clodycates]

@@learnwithshopify Not sure if I get your question right, bit it is on the Meta Facebook business page where you add your shopify domain, than you get a cone to insert into the liquid code between the {head} than at the bottom you got a green VERIFY button. It says that it might take 72 hours for FB to find you and it's been about 5 days now and I still get the error that my business can't get verify. Thanks

[@shahidfarooq115]

Without domain can I setup for Shopify on Facebook?

[@shamilawright295]

Should I use a new Facebook account than using my own? how do I decide? Thank yo so much

[@learnwithshopify]

Hey, Shamila! You can certainly use your existing Facebook account to get started with your own Facebook business account.

[@FourHuskyHomestead]

I sold 30 items on Facebook marketplace then everything stopped three months ago. Now when I upload an item to sell it looks like just a meet up even though I click ( shipping only ). What has happened? Dose anyone know? Please help. Thank you. Leslye

[@learnwithshopify]

Hi! I'm afraid I am not clear on what the exact issue is here, can you please clarify for me what problem exactly you are seeing? When you say "upload an item" do you mean on your Shopify store, or on Facebook? Thank you! -Maz

[@FourHuskyHomestead]

@@learnwithshopify well , I’ll try. I have items listed for shipping only. But buyers can’t buy then because there is no way to add to cart it buy now. All they can do it message me as to meet up for the sell. It’s not giving them the option to buy and have it shipped. That’s the best way I can explain it. I appreciate your help! Thank you ! Leslye

[@learnwithshopify]

Can you share with me a link to your store, please? Are you using the Shopify Lite plan? Have you ever had add-to-cart or shipping work correctly? I would be interested to see how it appears for me. Thank you! -Ivy

[@regiegumapak6435]

in canada still not supported to sell on marketplace.

[@learnwithshopify]

Hi, Regie. As per this Facebook resource (bit.ly/3FFKPqt), Marketplace is currently accessible on the Facebook app to people over 18 in the US, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Chile, Czech Republic etc.

[@regiegumapak6435]

@@learnwithshopify i tried to enable marketplace on my commerce manager but it says onsite checkout is not available in my country it says like this ''Only shops with on-site checkout can enable Marketplace as a sales channel. You can convert your shop to on-site checkout, then enable Marketplace.''

[@learnwithshopify]

Thanks for letting us know. Since this message displays in your Commerce Manager, I recommend contacting Facebook Support to take a closer look and assist you with options that are available to you.

Can you sell digital products using this strategy?
