Facebook Shop is a mobile-first shopping experience where merchants can easily create an online store on Facebook and Instagram for free. Customers can now easily browse and purchase your products using the new, always visible Shop section on your Facebook Page. You can add products to your shop with just one click and include the details, images, inventory, and automatically sync everything.
How Facebook Shops Work
- Sellers who signed up as a Facebook Page Shop previously will be encouraged to convert to shops. You will receive an email or notification that says they are now allowed to use Facebook Shops.
- New retailers can make a shop in Commerce Manager. If you’re a newbie, you can create a shop through Commerce Manager.
- Create assortments to tailor your shop and entice customers. Each collection will be able to have a name, description, cover photo, and can include 2 or more products. Tailor an assortment of products to help shoppers find products that are right for them.
- Shops display your brand and products through a mobile app. When you publish your shop, customers will be able to see it through Facebook using their Apple or Android devices. When you add new items to your shop, people will see it in their News Feed, on the Facebook Shop tab, and notification alerts.
