Hi, I have a problem with connecting my Facebook business account to my Shopify page. I am using Facebook & Meta app for it but it says that I do not have the option to connect. Is there any other app that can do the same or should I change my country?

Hi @snjezana ,
If you’re unable to connect your Facebook Business account to Shopify using the Facebook & Meta app, it could be due to country restrictions, missing admin access, an unverified commerce account, or ad account issues. First, check your Meta Business settings to ensure you have admin rights. If your region is restricted, try using a VPN or check Meta’s latest supported country list. If the issue persists, you can try alternative apps like SocialShop, Flexify, or CedCommerce Facebook Feed to sync products with Facebook and Instagram.

It sounds like you’re experiencing an issue with the Facebook & Meta app integration on Shopify. This can happen for a few reasons, including regional restrictions, account permissions, or a misconfigured business setup. Let’s go through some possible solutions:
1. Check Your Facebook Business Manager Setup
- Verify Admin Access: Ensure that you have full admin rights to the Facebook Business Manager, Page, and Ad Account. If you’re a staff member or don’t have the right permissions, Shopify won’t allow you to connect.
- Confirm Ownership: Go to Business Manager > Business Settings > Pages and make sure the correct page is linked to your Business Manager.
2. Check for Country Restrictions
Some Shopify-Facebook integrations aren’t available in all regions. If the app doesn’t give you the option to connect, your country may not support the integration. You can check Meta’s list of supported countries here: Meta Business Partner Requirements.
3. Alternative Apps & Solutions
If Facebook & Meta app isn’t working, you can try third-party apps that allow Facebook shop integration:
- Flexify : Helps sync your Shopify products with Facebook Ads & Shops
- Socialwidget ‑ Instagram Feed – A reliable app to help you add social widget for your store
4. Troubleshooting Steps
- Clear Cache & Try Another Browser: Sometimes, authentication issues are browser-related.
- Reinstall the Facebook & Meta App: Uninstall the app from Shopify, wait a few minutes, then reinstall it.
- Try a Different Facebook Account: If you have multiple Business Managers, test with another account to see if the issue persists.

Hey there! I’ve helped tons of store owners who ran into this exact same Facebook/Instagram connection headache. Super frustrating when you’re just trying to get your marketing set up, right?
That error message about “not having the option to connect” usually comes down to a few things:
Facebook Business Manager permissions might need tweaking, or sometimes your Facebook page category isn’t set right for selling products. Other times it’s just regional restrictions or the Meta app itself being glitchy.
Before I can point you in the right direction, I’d need to know:
What’s the exact error message you’re seeing?
