Pissed Off. Ads not working, facebook not connecting, pinterest not downloading, not converting sale

Hi guys,

I have been with Shopify for about three weeks now and am not having it. Everything that Shopify seems to make out to be easy only takes me twice as long. I haven’t made a single dollar yet and my Facebook account keeps saying it’s not verified I am really annoyed because my ads are costing me money but it seems like it is not getting promoted as it should be. I literally also tried connecting my Pinterest app seven times in a row and it is not letting me download the app for whatever reason. I am super annoyed and frustrated. I also need help with knowing what my return policy should be, like how that part works. Can somebody please help me I am struggling big time, I also don’t want to sound too whiney but I desperately need help.

Hi,

Please share your store url.

Thank you

Hi @racheljordan7 ,

Thanks for reaching out! I completely get your frustration. You’ve mentioned a few issues so I’d like to tackle them one by one here:

1. “my Facebook account keeps saying it’s not verified”

I’d like to understand this a bit more. Could you provide me with a little more context, please?

I did look up ways that you could get verified on Facebook and found their help documentation on verifying your Facebook and Instagram accounts.

2. “I literally also tried connecting my Pinterest app seven times in a row and it is not letting me download the app for whatever reason”

I can imagine this would be annoying. What kind of error message are you getting when you try to download the Pinterest app to your store? Again, the more context you can give me to put me in the frame, the better I can help you! In the meantime, here is Pinterest’s own help documentation on how to link your Shopify and Pinterest accounts.

3. “I also need help with knowing what my return policy should be, like how that part works.”

You can absolutely generate refund, shipping, terms of service, and privacy policies automatically for your store. However, depending on what you’re shipping, you may want to customize your policies accordingly. We have a great guide on that called How to Create and Communicate Your Shipping Policy (With a Template and Examples).

I understand your panic and sense of urgency, but please don’t feel like you need to struggle - we are here to help.

I would recommend that you reduce the number of elements you try to tackle, and approach them one at a time if at all possible.

We can work through them methodically together here if you like, one by one, but as I mentioned you will need to provide me with as much information as possible for me to see what you’re seeing.

I hope this all helps, and look forward to hearing from you!
