This requires a higher level of technical savvy than your standard skill set. I found it incredibly challenging and confusing to navigate. If you are not planning to run ads then it shouldn't be an issue. I have had multiple different issues getting set up with META ads through this channel, as well as getting the shop approved within FB. The most frustrating piece has been lack of clarity and support. I have contacted support more than I would like to admit, spent hours on calls over the past couple weeks, and the issues are still there. It's unbelievable really. All of the support team members have been very courteous and kind, they are doing what they have been trained to do. There is a larger structural issue here though. For some reason they allow ease of access to general support but make it quite challenging to directly access support for Ads. In my experience, I found a considerable amount of gatekeeping / stalling to access this level of support. I had to restart and go back through general support each time. Blah blah blah. I really dislike having to report negativity like this but these are the facts. Overall, very challenging. If you are not a Dev or super tech savvy, I recommend hiring a Dev. to get you up and running. Not kidding.

Honestly when it works it is nice, but every time I add a new physical — not digital — product it will not automatically sync, then I am forced to reach out to support and talk for multiple days trying so many different things just to get a new product synced. It is a nightmare and delays selling products for myself. A product will randomly sync like 3 weeks later. There is no refresh button for synching or anything simple. I would not suggest it.

I am so confused! First finding where to create and optimize my shop was almost impossible. Second, the sample pictures show the highest price of my items. I have different prices depending on what size t-shirt is ordered. It shows the highest price instead of the lowest. I'm not tech savvy and really trying hard to figure all this out. Very fustrated.

Not very intuitive for sellers. Not connecting well from Shopify or Vendoo and other platforms I need FB and Insta to connect to. I never know what my shops look like and if they are connected to my collections on Shopify from one minute to the next. Shop editor is so far not easy and not user friendly. I had an issue also connect my payment method and the IT team has been working on it for going on 3 weeks now and I don't hear anything back from them unless I reach out. I paid for ads for two weeks and that is hindering me from any gains i've made with those. Has been terrible as a seller so far.

Customer service does not help you with issues. They expect you to troubleshoot the problems on your own. Also the user experience is confusing and rates are overpriced

My store's 'last step' of syncing has been 'in review' since April, no explanation as to what the problem is.
