How to set up a shop on Facebook and Instagram

You can sell with Shops using Checkout on another website or Checkout with messaging until further notice. Learn more.
With Shops, you can display and sell products on Facebook and Instagram. People who visit your shop can browse your products, make purchases and get to know your brand. You'll create your shop in Commerce Manager – a tool that you use to manage your inventory and sales on Facebook and Instagram.
Before you begin
- If you don't have a Facebook business Page or catalogue yet, you can create both when you set up your shop.
- If you already have a Page and catalogue that you want to use for your shop:
- If you manage your Page and catalogue in a business account, you must have full control of the account. Make sure that you also have Manage permissions for both the Page and catalogue. Learn more about managing access and permissions for a business account.
- If you want to make your shop visible on Instagram, you'll also need an Instagram business account. Your business account must own the Instagram business account that it's connected to.
- Note: If you only want to sell using a shop on Instagram, you don't need to create or provide a Facebook business Page when creating your shop in Commerce Manager.
How to set up a shop on Facebook and Instagram
- Go to the Create your shop page and click Next.
- If you're already selling on Shopify, BigCommerce or another partner platform, you can create your shop by importing and syncing your products. Click Sync a partner platform on the right-hand side and follow the link to your partner website to complete setup.
- You may have to choose a checkout method. Click Next.
- If you want to sell on a Facebook business Page, choose your Page or create a new one. If you want to sell on Instagram, select your Instagram business account. Click Next.
- Select your business account or create a new one. Click Next.
- Select the catalogue that you want to use for your shop and click Next. To select a catalogue, it must meet catalogue eligibility requirements for shops. You can't switch this catalogue later.
- Note: If you don't already have a catalogue, you won't see this step. We'll create a catalogue for you automatically in Commerce Manager called "Items for (name and ID of your Page)". You can add your items later when you've finished setting up your shop.
- Look over your shop details, review and agree to the Seller Agreement and click Finish setup.
You've now created your shop. Next, you'll want to:
- Manage your catalogue to add any products that you want to sell. All products from your catalogue are included in your shop by default, but you can also control which items appear.
- Create a collection, a group of products that you want to feature in your shop.
- Publish your shop. People can see your shop once we've reviewed and approved your collections.
