Watched Plenty of Videos but was not able to figure to Set up Instagram Shopping But After watching your Video My Instagram Shopping is Enabled Thankyou Very Much Love You Guys
Part II of our Instagram Shopping series, where we go over how to use shoppable posts, Stories and Reels to sell more products, is up now: ua-cam.com/video/16p-7LDt0Nk/v-deo.html
Hello I just found your content and love it. I'm SO confused though. I am very much a beginner and I can not seem to even locate the "sign up for Instagram shopping" option on my business account. What am I doing wrong? I'm so frustrated. Thank you!
For the Hootsuite auto-posting to social media, you mean like when I get a new product I post to shopify and it can auto-post it to social platforms? What about all the other stuff like shipping size weight, tags, description, etc? Does it do everything automatically or just like set up templates that you finish and post?
great video! But instagram isn't allowing me to create the shop, instead asking me to sign up using "Checkout on website" as the checkout method. But when I go to fb commerce manager to do this, the checkout method is by default "checkout with messaging" and I cannot change it. Please help!!!
Ok, now here's the catch; what if you can't see "Set Up Instagram Shopping" button? Despite the fact that all of the steps are done correctly, or is it just me missing something?
hmmm! are you sure your account is a business account? (not a creator account). I just updated my app and it says "set up shop now" but it's still under settings > business
@@HootsuiteLabs I am having this same issue. I’ve linked my Facebook page with a shop catalog and everything however I still am not given the option to “set up instagram shopping”
I am also having this trouble! I have completed all the steps and I am located in an eligible country, but i am not seeing the "Set up Instagram Shopping" in the "business" page. Assistance please @Hootsuite Labs !!
Hello, I got approved on IG days ago but the catalog still isn't connecting under the shopping no inventory is listed blank. I tried a few times the steps. It's fine in FB shop no problem. Does anyone know how to fix it?
Thanks for sharing! using the first method through shopify ..upon clicking on data sources , i only found three options as you have excluding the partner platform..i could not find the partner platform ...is there any advice you have for me on how to find it?
SO glad I found you! Great info! I have connected my FB business page to my Instagram BUT do not have the option to make instagram a “shop” what could I be doing wrong?
I'm confused...you say "with or without Shopify", but later in the video you mention that you need to already have an e-commerce site. Do you need an e-commerce or not?
What do you mean by "you should be in an eligible country"? Shall I be logged in using a Facebook account that was created in an eligible country? Or shall I be physically located in an eligible country? Does VPN work in this case? Your quick response will be highly appreciated.
I had a facebook business page it is connected to that account however my main account on facebook got hacked and I can't control it anymore through my facebook. Will this matter?
I have a few questions; If I am in Europe, can I use the facebook business catalogue aswell? On my facebook business page, when I click "set up shop/get started > select "create shop" it leads me to a "sorry this page isnt working" page.
Hello, in step 4, when I send my store information for review, it shows an error message: We have a limit on the maximum number os websites that can be granted for approval. Please wait... How is this resolved? Thanks. Detail, my URL is already verified in the business manager
I've been trying for 3 days and still can't set up my Instagram shop. The meta business page is so hard to navigate and it's driving me insane. I already have Instagram and Facebook set up as businesses, I have linked them both and linked everything to Shopify and it still won't let me set up a shop >:(
When setting up a shop without Shopify. what would you put for the website?(as it is a required field) do you still have to have a separate website or am I missing something?

Hi Denise! Yup, that's product tagging - once you've got your shop and product catalogue set up you can tag your products just like you'd tag a friend. We're going to cover that in part 2, next week!
@@HootsuiteLabs I’ve seen people have a shop of just links to items from other brands. They don’t actually own the items, they’re just links in their shop. Not a link in a post. Idk if this makes any sense 😂 it’s basically like LTK, but in IG shops
@@ItsDIYDenise Oh! that sounds like Instagram's affiliate marketing tool. If you have access to it, you'll find it in your professional dashboard under "Set Up Affiliate". But FYI it's still being tested, so it's not widely available yet! :(
How do I cancel my Shop? I don't have the business anymore(FB Page or Shopify Store). I still see my shop with products in them but I don't have them anymore. Please help n thnx
Can I just pay for a few minutes of consultation for specific questionsI don't want to list publicly? Happy to pay for your time. I'd rather ask up front than do all of this to take it down later!
have you switched your instagram profile to a business account? (not a creator one)! also make sure you're in a supported country: facebook.com/help/instagram/321000045119159?helpref=faq_content
Damned depressing :( After 6 hours of finding my way through multiple tutorials, I can't find the 'business' tab on my business insta account, so can't get to anywhere to set up my insta shop. Even though Insta kindly advised me that I qualify for one.

you don't need to use shopify, but you do need a website, yes. It can be a simple landing page if you use Meta's native product catalogue.
Can we put in affiliate products in tha catalog
