Bit confused here. At 4:52 under state tax registration number, it says: this isn't your ssn or ein But if you look up: state tax registration number it says: A state tax identification number (also known as a state EIN, a state employer ID, or a state tax registration) is a unique number assigned to a business or organization by the state where the business operates and is used for filing taxes and hiring employees. Can you explain this?

This is what I am looking for. The best explanation on why I can't activate my shop using the old way. Damn Facebook shop update

[@flippingforreal109]

Facebook is trying to eliminate going to other websites to make purchases they want everything done on their platform. Also they are or will be charge a fee for doing this it's free now but it won't be for too long.

[@stonenickerson9257]

Hello! I just watched your video and found it very helpful, but I do have a question, what are your thoughts on raising my normal price 5% to cover the fee for selling on Facebook? Would that hurt my business reputation? I don’t currently sell online but want to find a cost effective way to do it, but 5% is a lot when it comes to how tight some of my margins are.

Hi, I'm in my early 20's and this is my first time selling. No website but has a FB page. I don't have any idea even though I follow the guides but not sure what's happening. My question is "FB commerce manager said my product is live but I don't see it?" I'm looking at it... I have been doing this for 12 hrs now. So I manually post it on my page cause I don't have any idea what's happening. And FYI I don't have any knowledge whatsoever about selling on another website, just this FB page

How about affiliate like I dont have my product on hand can I list in my Facebook page shop?

[@anas.8142]

I have a problem with the image cropping and cannot find a solution anywhere online, hope you can help me? I created a shop and everything works well, but I cannot crop the images right. I know the settings in the FB commerce manager, I go there and choose "fit image to ad" (in order to get the whole product displayed on the image), and facebook seems to accept my changes, but product images are still shown incomplete (according to the default option, "fill ad with image"). I am using bulk upload, no idea if this can be connected with the problem, but I tried both changing that setting before and after upload and it is not working. In the settings it says that I have chosed fit image to add, but on the products themselves the images are still cropped badly.

what about if I have a print-on demand Shopify store? I'm wondering about how the shipping is handled if I sync a Facebook Shop to my Shopify account. In Shopify, all orders are sent directly to my suppliers, I dont have to lift a finger.

[@MsMimireilly]

I am so lost. I keep getting error messages after going through all the steps. This is so frustrating and not user friendly. Also the link in the description for setting up Business Manager is not there. How many steps are there?

[@massideral808]

Me 3 Not allowing to do any of those steps, "please create a facebook page" (when I already have one), please create a business account (already have 2 and creating more with this)

[@chrisdunnettmusic]

Hi Mari, this is a great video! I knew FB was working on implementing this sort of thing but didn't realize how many cool features there will be. A couple questions if you don't mind... 1. Can you do say a Shopify page AND a native store? For example, I have a Shopify store set up on my website (as well as currently on my FB "Artist" page for my Shirts and Apparel that I sell (the only reason for this is that I do Print On Demand and the company I use is only integrated with Shopify so unfortunately I HAVE to use Shopify just for that) But I also have other merch I sell directly so I would like to have it all in one 2. Can you ONLY sell Physical product or can you sell digital products as well? I am a Musician so I have music I would like to offer as a purchase download and an Online Guitar course. 3. Just curious, do you know how often they pay out? Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, over a certain amount etc? 4. Is an "Artist" page considered a "Business" page? I am musician but have what I have always considered an "artist/Fan" page...not a Group an actual page in addition to my personal profile. 5. Lastly (and I will quit pestering you LOL)..this may not be within your realm but if it is...can you PLEASE do a video on all issues and/or ramifications of MERGING a Personal profile on FB with an existing "Page" (such as my Artist page)? There is info on HOW to "switch" or "convert" but I honestly have searched for HOURS and can not find concrete info on what happens once you do this? Do you lose all your past IMs? Not good if they were business related. Can you still be an Admin in Groups that you were? Found mixed stories on this one? I would think this is VERY valuable info as I'm sure often businesses start off with a "Personal" page then realize they need to convert (although in my situation I think of it more as a merger) because of the Analytics, you can exceed 5k in "friends" and so on. I'm not worried about things like photos and videos but more so the couple of things I mentioned and I just can not find solid info on this? Thank you very much

[@MariSmithVideos]

Hi Chris -- thanks! 1. Yes! And I highly recommend that, in fact. Do not put all your eggs in the FB/IG basket! ;) 2. So far, starting with physical. BUT, FB is working on features for digital products & service based businesses as well. 3. You get paid within 8-10 days of marking an order as shipped. facebook.com/business/help/2244087555906369?id=540542143143969 4. Absolutely. There are really only two distinct types of presence on Facebook: 1) a personal profile where you have friends, and 2) a business page where the public can find you. The latter is used for nonprofit, causes, public figures, any type of public presence, really. The benefits of having a 'business' page include SEO on google (!), ability to place ads, access to audience insights and metrics. 5. It's not possible to merge a personal profile with an existing FB business page. You can merge pages with pages. But not personal profiles with pages. BUT, you can *convert* a personal profile to a business page. And all your friends suddenly become likes/followers of your biz page. You would then start afresh with a new personal profile. Frankly, I've never been a fan of this move. Because sometimes people have friended you for years and all of a sudden they get a notice saying they've liked your page... and then you have to go back and re-friend people you really know, close friends, family, etc. It's just not worth the bother. I've always viewed it like we have four main chances to have our content seen in the FB news feed: 1) friends connected to our personal profile when you share posts to friends only, 2) public followers, including friends, when you share posts to public, (that is, assuming you have Follower enabled, which I always recommend!), 3) people who like and follow your business page, and 4) people who've joined your groups (they can see group posts in their feed). Hope this helps!!!

How does this work if your website is a multivendor site with multiple vendors selling through your site. Each vendor has their own products, shipping rules, tax base, return policies, etc. Can it work for something like that. An example would be a Magento store with multiple vendors.

Your store will therefore not be visible to potential customers. If you think it should be published, you can request a review in the Account Quality module " that's why I wanted to know if this message is displayed automatically or if there is a problem and if so then what should I do to solve it? and then did they send you an error message?

It might be already in the UK as well for some users and is coming soon worldwide! (To be clear, Facebook Page Shops and Instagram Profile Shops are already available widely in various countries around the world. What's new and different is this unified presence & seamless check out experience -- which will eventually include Messenger & WhatsApp -- along with the AI & VR components).
