How to connect to Facebook Ad Account from Shopify?

[TIDIFY]

Hi everyone, 

I can't connect to my Facebook ad account. I get the message "View and accept terms" I press the button and 

it takes me to my FB Business Manager page where at the top of the page it says: 

"You have accepted these terms of service "

and I stuck here. A Shopify support member gave me this silly advice:

- Turn Send a "Do not track" request with your browsing traffic on or off. It confused me even more

and it didn't do anything, please advise if you know any solutions. 

Many Thanks

Hey @TIDIFY!

Have you tried accepting the terms and conditions via a different browser? For example Google Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, or Safari.

I have come across this issue before and thankfully our technical team has discovered a great workaround! They found that this error is caused by a browser setting that prevents cross-site tracking and causes the connection of the Facebook integration to be on a loop. Most updated browsers will have this setting and turning off this feature has corrected the issue for some of our merchants.

To disable this feature on the browser you're using, please follow the below steps:

Google Chrome:

• Open up a new browser window and click on Chrome in the main menu

• Select Preferences

• Click Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data

• Ensure the option titled Send a "Do Not Track" request with your browsing traffic is turned off

Safari:

• Open up a new browser window and click on Safari in the main menu

• Click Preferences > Privacy

• Ensure the option titled Prevent cross-site tracking is turned off

After this setting is disabled on the browser you're using, please refresh your browser and you should then be able to accept the terms and conditions within the 'Facebook' section of your Shopify admin as normal.

Please do let me know if this works for you!

Hi Maria 

Thanks for your answer, the setting change for Chrome didn't solve the problem but 

using Internet Explorer solved the problem. So all good. Thanks a Lot
