She is a great instructor!
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
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.
Wow thank You. I just learned more in this video than the last 4 videos combined. I subscribed.
You are so awesome!! Nice voice and tonality. I enjoy the video thank you so much for helping!
Thank you for your kind words!!
Omg that augmented reality is awesome, a real game changer
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU Thisis the only vid that has been helpful....had a page set up an hour later
Great walkthrough. I've been denied a couple of times because they say we don't meet eligibility requirements but they never tell us why, which is kinda frustrating.
same here did you ever figure it out? I cannot get a response
Hi! My compliments. Outstanding video :-) I have a question about "Return Policy" days. Is there any suggestion about this if the products are homemade products?
Fabulous presentation, very clear and all news is very exciting
Thank you, mam. Very informative video.
This video was so very helpful. Thank you for the tutorial, much appreciated!
Can I set up my shop without Shopify or others eccomerce? Help !!!! Excellent explanation. So clear and we'll expressed.
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?
Excellent step by step video. Thank you so much 🙏
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 Mari... had no idea you were on YT. so happy to find you. subscribed and thanks for FB shop update. I cant keep up. you explain everything so well..
I don’t currently have a Shopify store but I’m planning to have one in the future, can I still integrate it afterwards with my Facebook store ?
Is this video still applicable in December of 2023? I have shared it with my followers a few times and want to take it out of my queue to share if it’s no longer relevant. Thanks so much!
Nice and informative video. Thank you
first thank you for the video ....for the categories of what you sell, what if you sell different products from different categories?
Thanks for the fantastic info and video ... you are super
Is this available to Facebook UK users?
Is the facebook will give a shipping labels as well? Whenever someone will buy your items.
When the option for digital download files will be ready? Thank you for the video. Nicely done.
Great video! Néw subscriber. Do you know how to list a website link to Facebook Marketplace to sell a physical affiliate product, I see them but don’t know how to do it 🤷🏻♀️
I cannot see me shop tag in the setting
Like your video.
Does business have to be registered to create FB shop?
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
Thank you for sharing the very useful information.
So glad you enjoyed it! -Jen
Subscribed. Great info

Thank you for this
You were amazing!
OK I created it so no how do I get it into marketplace?
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?

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)
Followed it all, put in products, no way to go back to main page after setup. Store shows one item giant sized. Not working.
is this available outside of america?
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
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.
Is this only for US businesses? I'm in the UK and want to sell online courses on my FB group
Hey Wendy- Shops should be available to you in the UK.
-Megan🤓
The previous Shop option was, so it might take a little bit of time for this one to roll out.
Very well explained. I am currently doing a service business. I do album cover artworks for musicians, and I'm thinking of setting up a facebook shop for my pre-made cover artworks. Do you think that will work out as of October 14, 2020?
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.
Where do you read about fees?

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.
i can't choose my business page even though i am the admin of the business manager while creating a facebook shop ! any help please ?
I’m having the same issue!! Did you get any answers?
@@kellypearce9948 not yet :(

Hello I have just made a request but as soon as I click on the button "request a review" I immediately get an error message that appears "Your store cannot be published Following the review of your merchant account, we have determined that it does not meet our eligibility criteria for sale. 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?

Will I be able to create a page without Tax ID? I'm just starting and my target is just within my community.
No, you need to get a tax id and open a business bank account as well as doing a DBA. I had the same question and found out you need a tax id. If you go down to your town's city hall, they can direct you where to go.
does my facebook page need to be verified first?? currently its unverified
You can't do multiple images at once. this is very time consuming. Anyone know how to do multiple images at once for an item?
