Help please! Instagram shopping disappeared.

[silver007]

Hello all,

On around New Year’s Day, I noticed shopping from my Instagram was no longer an option. I have had Instagram shopping on my account since launch 2 years ago so I tried to troubleshoot why. 

3 things:

1) on the commerce manager, it says @silverandriley is approved for Instagram shopping (makes sense, since I’ve always had the shop).

2) the visibility of my Instagram shop in commerce manager shows as hidden and no matter what I do, I cannot change it back to visible, it just goes back to hidden.

3) on my IG, I noticed that under Settings > Business, I no longer have “Shopping” as an option. Why? Yet in commerce manager, it says all is good to go. I’ve tried switching back to personal, then to professional again thinking that’d solve it, but no dice.

I don’t know what to do. I’ve filed a case with Facebook Commerce help since Jan 1st and it’s been the most frustrating experience of my life. It’s been 22 days and all they keep asking for is screen recordings (which I’ve sent multiple times) and repeating the same thing about how their specialist team is looking at it and “due to the complex nature” it takes time. They aren’t doing anything.

I’ve just launched a new collection and not having Instagram shopping is really hurting. My shop isn’t appearing in shopping explore, etc. It’s really painful 😣 

Any help I can get would be greatly appreciated.

hello,

did you offered direct access to your account recently? I meant did you hired anyone to help you with any task regarding Facebook or Instagram? Or have you been travelling recently?

I've been having the exact same problem for almost the exact same amount of time, with the same (useless) responses from Facebook tech support. Please update if you get a response or solution from them, and I'll do the same. It's really hindering my sales in a big way the past few weeks. Another thing I noticed is that  under Business Settings > Users > People I only have Partial access to the accounts. But there is no one else on the accounts with full access! I've changed passwords since the last time I had a contractor using the account, and that was weeks before this problem arose. So I'm mystified.

Hi, I don't know if you ever figured this out but I just got mine working again. I had to disable Shop Pay and go back to using Shopify as my default payment method. It worked instantly.

Thanks for this! Worked for me. I also disconnected my Instagram from facebook business manager and reconnected it after disabling shop pay. After reconnecting, I turned shop pay back on.
