How To Setup A Facebook Store From Your Existing Shopify Store Setting up a store on Facebook is easy, here s how: Select the Zibaba Facebook fan page store from the Shopify app store and click install to continue the process. You will then be redirected to the Zibaba Shop Manager, within Facebook. If you re not already logged into Facebook, once you agree to the terms of service, you will then be prompted to login to your Facebook account.

Within the shop manager interface, you will see the name of your Shopify store appear in the Shop Manager. Click on Manage Shop to continue. Moving along you will see that you can edit the name of your store on Facebook.
Additionally, you can upload a custom image for your store which will appear within your store and resemble the following examples. The size of the image must be no wider than 520 pixels and we recommend that the height is no greater than 300 pixels. The currency of your Facebook store will be automatically detected and set as the same as your Shopify store. This can be overridden from the currency dropdown menu located in the shop manager. Select a skin from the menu. There are plenty of options. Find one that matches the look and feel of your brand.
Here are some examples of how different skins look in the published Facebook store. This is an example of the red and black skin and this is an example of the gold and black skin. Choose the language that you wish to be displayed in your Facebook store.
Next, click on upload catalog. Your catalog will be automatically loaded from your Shopify store. In this screen all you need to do is set the frequency of your catalog updates. Choose from monthly, weekly, daily or never. If, for any reason, your catalog is not automatically uploaded, please click the Upload Now Button, from inside the Publish page in the Shop Manager. To view your store before it s published, click on preview. You will then see a preview of your store within the Shop Manager.
