Facebook won’t connect to Shopify

Topic summary

Users are encountering a “you do not have access to this feature yet” error when attempting to connect Facebook/Instagram to their Shopify stores. The issue prevents shop owners from linking social media accounts, with Facebook support channels also inaccessible due to the same error.

Identified Solutions:

  • Check account permissions: Ensure the user has full administrative privileges on the Shopify store, as only store owners or admins can connect social accounts.
  • Alternative connection method: Navigate to Shopify Settings → Permissions → click on your username → connect Facebook from there (reported successful after months of troubleshooting).
  • Try different browsers: Switching from Chrome to Safari resolved the issue for at least one user.

The discussion remains open as multiple users continue experiencing this problem, though workarounds have been shared.

Hi, I have verified my shop but when I try to connect my shop to facebook/ instagram, I receive a message saying “you do not have access to this feature yet”. I have tried to “Get Support” button but when I select the options and try to connect my facebook account, I receive the same “you do not have access to this feature yet” message. I don’t know what else I can do.

there is no other way to get in touch with facebook and it feels like I’m stuck.

Hi @TanCelen ,

This issue may be caused by the permissions of the account you’re using. Ensure that you have administrative access to your Shopify store. Only the store owner or someone with full administrative privileges can connect social media accounts.
