Facebook Shop Setup

A Facebook Shop allows you to create a seamless, mobile‑friendly storefront on your Facebook Page and Instagram profile where customers can browse, discover, and purchase your products without leaving the app. With a shop, you can tag products in posts, stories, and ads, making shopping instant and engaging. Setting up a shop involves connecting your product catalog, customising the look, and configuring checkout options (on‑platform or website). At Webglobe Solutions, we set up and optimise Facebook Shops to help you sell more on social media.

The Facebook Shop Ecosystem

A Facebook Shop integrates with: Commerce Manager – Central hub to manage your shop, products, and orders; Product Catalog – Upload your products via feed or manually; Checkout Options – Checkout on Facebook/Instagram or on your website; Instagram Shopping – Syncs automatically with your Instagram shop; Shops Ads – Run ads that link directly to your shop; Live Shopping – Sell during live videos; Messenger / WhatsApp – Customer communication. It's part of Facebook's broader commerce ecosystem.
