The information below has been created to assist you if you are one of the people who got an email or notification that they can now use Facebook Shops.
Shops is being released gradually and isn’t currently available to everyone.
With Facebook Shops, you can show and sell products on Facebook and Instagram. Anyone who visits your shop will see your products and can browse them. You can customise your shop by adding featured collections.

If you’re setting up a shop on Facebook, you must:

How you can set up a Facebook or Instagram shop…
You’ll need to use a computer (not a mobile) to set up your shop in Commerce Manager. Setting up a shop happens in 3 parts:
- Create a collection. You can create collections of 6 to 30 products.
- Customise your shop. You’ll choose your featured collection and customise the look and feel of your shop.
- Publish your shop. People can see your shop once we review and approve your collections, typically within 24 hours.
