Instagram not showing store or products, despite everything set up properly

Shopify Apps

Topic summary

Main issue: Instagram shop and product tagging not appearing in the Instagram app despite Meta/Shopify setup showing approved and error-free.

Shopify guidance (early reply):

  • Check Shopify admin > Facebook (Meta) Sales Channel for errors.
  • Ensure Instagram Professional Account, requested approval, catalog connected to Instagram, and FB Page linkage per “Setting up Instagram Shopping.”
  • (Optional) Add social links in store footer.

User reports and symptoms:

  • No shop button on Instagram (and sometimes Facebook) even though Commerce Manager shows an approved shop/catalog.
  • Tagging often shows “no products listed” unless starting to type product names (typically 4+ letters). Some see only 1 product or a “3 best seller” subset.
  • Intermittent behavior: some days works, most days not. Desktop Facebook post tagging works; Instagram app tagging fails. Instagram on PC no longer offers product tagging (people-only).
  • Can add collections via Stories shopping stickers, but single-product list is empty.
  • Regional message: “content not available… cannot be seen in this region” (shop in Spain, viewing from France).
  • A prior bug with overlapping tags appears resolved.

Status: No confirmed solution from participants; issue persists across multiple stores. Likely platform-side/region behavior remains an open question.

I’m sorry that you’re going through this as well. I’m a week behind you here and I have tried everything I know how to do. Did you ever find a solution?

When I go to tag products, only one of my items pops up and is available for tagging. If I do use that tag, it can still link back to my Instagram/Facebook shop where I can see all of my products so I don’t understand why only one showing up whenever I try to tag product in an Instagram post.
