Facebook shop is only showing one image from Shopify product pages

Start a Business

Topic summary

Main issue: After integrating Shopify with Facebook Shop (Commerce Manager), only one product image appears per product on Facebook, despite multiple images in Shopify. This reduces engagement and sales.

Attempts and constraints: Manually adding images in Facebook fails and triggers a warning that Shopify-managed items will overwrite manual edits, directing changes back to Shopify. All images meet Facebook requirements, so it’s not a compliance issue.

Community reports: Multiple merchants confirm the same behavior. One post alluded to a possible workaround, but details/link are not available in the thread.

Latest update: According to Shopify support (as relayed by a participant), this is expected behavior for products with variants (e.g., size/color options). For such products, Shopify only sends one image to Facebook, limiting the image gallery shown.

Status: No confirmed solution in the thread. The limitation appears to be by design when variants are present, and manual edits in Facebook are overridden by Shopify sync. The discussion remains open with unresolved requests for a fix or viable workaround.

Hi all, I’ve integrated the Shopify store with the FB sales channel, FB commerce manager then synced all the products from the store.

However, only one product image is being displayed on the Facebook store even though there are 4-5 images uploaded to Shopify.

It’s super annoying as customers can not see other images of the product from the side, back, etc. This is hurting the engagement and sales a lot.

All images meet FB requirements.

I tried manually adding images to the products that are already loaded to the FB shop, but none of them have been saved.

I also get this notification whenever I tried to upload images:

This item was added to your catalog using Shopify. To avoid your manually made edits being overwritten in the future, update it on Shopify.

Does anyone else have this issue?

The same issue here… super annoying. Any solutions?

Agreed! The fact that we had a Wix site, and it was incredibly easy to upload site, and then switched to Shopify and have trouble, is quite frankly ridiculous.

I just spoke to Shopify support and they claim this is the way it works if you have product variants. They only send over 1 image for those types of products. What a horrible service, how can they not get the synchronization properly working for such a major platform??
