Shopify and Social Media: Integrating Your Store with Instagram and Facebook

Social media isn’t just a place to share content — it’s one of the biggest opportunities for eCommerce brands to drive sales. Shopify’s seamless integration with Instagram and Facebook allows you to turn your social profiles into powerful shopping channels. By connecting your store with Meta’s platforms, you can tag products, create shoppable posts, run dynamic ads, and reach millions of potential buyers without leaving the apps they use daily.


1. Connecting Shopify with Facebook & Instagram

Shopify makes it simple to sync your products with Meta’s shopping ecosystem.

  • Add the **Facebook & Instagram** sales channel from your Shopify dashboard
  • Connect your Facebook Page, Instagram account, and Meta Business Manager
  • Sync your product catalog automatically across both platforms
Tip: Make sure your Instagram account is set to a Business or Creator profile before integrating.

2. Setting Up Instagram Shopping

Instagram makes it easy for customers to discover and buy products directly from posts and stories.

  • Tag products in feed posts, reels, and stories
  • Create a shoppable Instagram storefront curated with collections
