Brillant ! Straight to the point ! You have now one fan more !
Aw thank you!!
how was this straight to the point im at the halfway mark and he didnt say anything
Actually helpful, thank you
For the Hootsuite auto-posting to social media, you mean like when I get a new product I post to shopify and it can auto-post it to social platforms? What about all the other stuff like shipping size weight, tags, description, etc? Does it do everything automatically or just like set up templates that you finish and post?
This is so very helpful! I was wondering if this will allow me to put a button on Instagram for my items in my store?
I don't have in Business settings the button " Set up Instagram shopping " .
Can anyone help me what I need to do it ?
Only you gave the proper information regarding Setting up IG Shopping, I appreciate.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for sharing! using the first method through shopify ..upon clicking on data sources , i only found three options as you have excluding the partner platform..i could not find the partner platform ...is there any advice you have for me on how to find it?
Hello I just found your content and love it. I'm SO confused though. I am very much a beginner and I can not seem to even locate the "sign up for Instagram shopping" option on my business account. What am I doing wrong? I'm so frustrated. Thank you!
SO glad I found you! Great info! I have connected my FB business page to my Instagram BUT do not have the option to make instagram a “shop” what could I be doing wrong?
Hi! I have the same problem! May I ask if you have already found a solution to fix this?
great video! But instagram isn't allowing me to create the shop, instead asking me to sign up using "Checkout on website" as the checkout method. But when I go to fb commerce manager to do this, the checkout method is by default "checkout with messaging" and I cannot change it. Please help!!!
I have a few questions;
If I am in Europe, can I use the facebook business catalogue aswell?
On my facebook business page, when I click "set up shop/get started > select "create shop" it leads me to a "sorry this page isnt working" page.
i done it everything, but on step for to set up the Instagram shooing, i cant find it, why ??
i have question? on my Instagram profile there is shopping category didn't shown ,why its only shown monetisation status
Whats shall i add to website link when adding items. I am adding without a website?
What do you mean by "you should be in an eligible country"?
Shall I be logged in using a Facebook account that was created in an eligible country?
Or shall I be physically located in an eligible country? Does VPN work in this case?
Your quick response will be highly appreciated.
Can we do all this on a mobile? The Facebook business suite, is it available on iPhone/mobile phone? Thanks!
good video, thanks.
Glad you liked it!
How do you get to the e-commerce business manager after logging into your FB page?
Can we put in affiliate products in tha catalog
I don’t have a website Link too put what do I do?
It requires me to add a website link in my commerce manager. What can I do?
What is the policy on banking or money exchange ?
Hello, in step 4, when I send my store information for review, it shows an error message:
We have a limit on the maximum number os websites that can be granted for approval. Please wait...
How is this resolved? Thanks.
Detail, my URL is already verified in the business manager
I'm lost at the 3:05 point. I'm logged in to my FB Business page and can't find the Commerce Manager?
That New Catalog option does no appear for me. I only get the shoppify and so on options :'( I can't use the fb catalog for this. Any idea why?
Hello, I got approved on IG days ago but the catalog still isn't connecting tried a few times the steps. It's fine in FB shop no problem. Does anyone know how to fix it?
How do I cancel my Shop? I don't have the business anymore(FB Page or Shopify Store). I still see my shop with products in them but I don't have them anymore. Please help n thnx
I had a facebook business page it is connected to that account however my main account on facebook got hacked and I can't control it anymore through my facebook. Will this matter?
Does anyone know why my sign up for instagram shopping button is not coming up
My menu looks entirely different in IG. It starts with Settings & Privacy and there is no Business tabs
Hi, iam not able to find "sign up for instagram shopping" on my instagram, is it because the region is different ? iam not able to set up the shop.. can you please help me out :)
Can you use a big cartel to link the accounts ?
Yup! Meta supports big cartel shops :)
Hello, thank you for the helpful set by step. I was approved! Unfortunately it won't allow me to upload any product photos. Even those that are 500x500 pixels. I tried restarting, and also reinstalling but nothing is working. What can I do?
Oooh, that sounds annoying! Are they JPGs or PNGs? These are the official image specs for catalogues: facebook.com/business/help/686259348512056?id=725943027795860
@@HootsuiteLabs Thank you so much for responding ❤️!
They are jpg 500x500 I also tried 1024x1024 as the link you gave suggested. It still won't load. It's saying error.
My Facebook business page has it own and so does my Instagram . Does it matter ?
unfortunately instagram is asking me to write down a website link when I'm uploading the product manually. is anyone else having this problem?
Can I just pay for a few minutes of consultation for specific questionsI don't want to list publicly? Happy to pay for your time. I'd rather ask up front than do all of this to take it down later!
Alas, we are a humble social media management team, not consultants! But we'd love to help with any questions you can leave publicly!
I keep hearing Cadillac😁
Ugh…I don’t know my way around …where do I find commerce manager?
I'm confused...you say "with or without Shopify", but later in the video you mention that you need to already have an e-commerce site. Do you need an e-commerce or not?
you don't need to use shopify, but you do need a website, yes. It can be a simple landing page if you use Meta's native product catalogue.
Ok, now here's the catch; what if you can't see "Set Up Instagram Shopping" button? Despite the fact that all of the steps are done correctly, or is it just me missing something?
hmmm! are you sure your account is a business account? (not a creator account). I just updated my app and it says "set up shop now" but it's still under settings > business
@@HootsuiteLabs I am having this same issue. I’ve linked my Facebook page with a shop catalog and everything however I still am not given the option to “set up instagram shopping”
I am also having this trouble! I have completed all the steps and I am located in an eligible country, but i am not seeing the "Set up Instagram Shopping" in the "business" page. Assistance please @Hootsuite Labs !!
i too don thave the option to "set up Instagram shopping"
Hello, I got approved on IG days ago but the catalog still isn't connecting under the shopping no inventory is listed blank. I tried a few times the steps. It's fine in FB shop no problem. Does anyone know how to fix it?
The ‘next’ button is grayed out in the Basic Information tab, despite everything being filled out appropriately!
how dare they!! did you check your eligibility?
When setting up a shop without Shopify. what would you put for the website?(as it is a required field) do you still have to have a separate website or am I missing something?
I have the same problem..
same, not sure what to do
I’ve seen some people can just share links in their shop kind of like LTK. How do you do that? Thank you!!
Hi Denise! Yup, that's product tagging - once you've got your shop and product catalogue set up you can tag your products just like you'd tag a friend. We're going to cover that in part 2, next week!
Our Shoppable Posts tutorial is up now: ruclips.net/video/16p-7LDt0Nk/видео.html hope it helps! :))
@@HootsuiteLabs I’ve seen people have a shop of just links to items from other brands. They don’t actually own the items, they’re just links in their shop. Not a link in a post. Idk if this makes any sense 😂 it’s basically like LTK, but in IG shops
@@ItsDIYDenise Oh! that sounds like Instagram's affiliate marketing tool. If you have access to it, you'll find it in your professional dashboard under "Set Up Affiliate". But FYI it's still being tested, so it's not widely available yet! :(
How you remove the shop from your page
Does Woocommerce integrate this way with Instagram?
I just googled it and yes, it does
Hello I have a online store Shopify
I am in CYPRUS but I can't find it to connect my store and my products why ?
Only U.S can do this ?
That's so weird! According to Instagram, Cyprus is eligible. facebook.com/help/instagram/321000045119159?helpref=faq_content
Under my business section there is no link for me to Sign up for Instagram shopping? Am I doing something wrong ?
Hmmmm, are you located in one of these countries? facebook.com/help/instagram/321000045119159?helpref=faq_content
the "partner platform" is not present under data source?
Did you have any luck with getting partner platform set up?
im stuck on this “standard shipping” screen
How do you get to commerce manager on Facebook I can’t find it
they don't make it easy :( facebook.com/business/tools/commerce-manager
you didn't tell us how to get to the commerce manager why exactly?
Im approved for commerce on instagram but it says website is still in review? Please help
Oh, that's annoying! How long has it been in review for?
Can you sell with the Instagram shop withou adding a website
It keeps giving me error messages
If i dont use a ecom like shopify i would still need a website?
you can use the Commerce Manager to create your product catalogue, but they will ask you for a website still :S
@@HootsuiteLabs so you need a website? lol bc i cant use the facebook commerce manager. thank you for responding
@@matthewzuco9580 yeah you need something to function as your product catalogue :/
In my set up instagram shopping is not visible
it might be your geographic location :(
I’m in the us doeeee
@@Coco-yy5pw urgh! have you switched to a business account? could it be any of these requirements?: facebook.com/help/instagram/1627591223954487?helpref=faq_content
no help.. nothing was the same on the facebook business manager.. :/
Your info it's outdated can you update it?
I've been trying for 3 days and still can't set up my Instagram shop. The meta business page is so hard to navigate and it's driving me insane. I already have Instagram and Facebook set up as businesses, I have linked them both and linked everything to Shopify and it still won't let me set up a shop >:(
Hey pls help. I can't find ' setup instagram shopping button' 😭
have you switched your instagram profile to a business account? (not a creator one)! also make sure you're in a supported country: facebook.com/help/instagram/321000045119159?helpref=faq_content
It asks for a Website Link I didnt know that would be required
Without using Shopify
yeah, that's unfortunately the case!
Why come to see after looking i promised
Damned depressing :( After 6 hours of finding my way through multiple tutorials, I can't find the 'business' tab on my business insta account, so can't get to anywhere to set up my insta shop. Even though Insta kindly advised me that I qualify for one.
It can also be called Professional account.
500 x 500 MEGA pixel? Are you a tech company?
oh! how mortifying! brb firing this man and deleting the channel and canceling the whole company. UNACCEPTABLE
@@HootsuiteLabs do iiiiiitttttt.
Never said it was unacceptable, just laughable as an authority on social media.
@@HootsuiteLabs also how immature of a response. thanks intern!
6. have an established account. And who knows what 'established' means
ok bro, wtf is an ecomerce site? so ur video should be. how to set up an ecomerce site. ill pause here and look up how to set up an ecomerce site. thank u for the try
haha - if you follow option B at 2:51 and use Meta's Commerce Manager you don't need to set one up - though you still need a website

Facebook business is a nightmare
Misleading information just to increase views
Hi Johnson! What is misleading? If you let me know maybe I can clarify!
I'm having lots of trouble setting mine up. I'm in the U.S., have a business account, Shopify pretty much everything and it says this "This account can't be selected because checkout on Facebook or Instagram is only available in some countries" don't know what to modify. I already added an address on my Insta and facebook but don't know what to do next. HELP 😩
I have done a this and my instagram account is a business account but I can't see the set up instagram shopping on insta, help please as I'm going out of my mind
