does your business sell products if the
answer to that question is yes then have
you ever thought about selling them
through your very own Facebook store
whether you're a big retailer or a local
business you can add a shop section to
your existing Facebook business page and
start selling your products securely in
just a few minutes in this video I'm
going to show you how to create your
very own Facebook store from start to
finish like this one I'm Luke Durant the
founder of ranking Academy da koat UK
the place where small business owners
turn to for better online visibility
more traffic to their website and more
customers to their stores don't forget
to subscribe to my channel or like this
video so I can keep providing you with
more tutorials
ok everyone so the first thing we're
gonna need to do is to check whether or
not we have access to the shop setting
section on our business page for the
sake of this exercise I'm gonna use my
very own business page ranking Academy
decoder UK and as you can see on the
left hand side there is a link called
shop so that means I do have access to a
shop section all I need to do is to
click on the link in order to trigger
the set up of the store ok so the first
thing we're gonna start with is describe
what our business sells there's a link
right here that says describe what
ranking Academy sells so I'm just gonna
click on that and that's gonna open a
box which asks me for a description I've
prepared something earlier on so we
don't have to waste too much time and
I'm gonna stick it in that box you can
only have a maximum of 200 characters ok
so here we go and let's save this next
thing we need to do is to start adding
our products to our shop there's a blue
button that says add products so we're
just gonna click on that and that's
gonna open another window where you can
actually start entering each product one
by one adding videos or photos with the
name prices etc so I'm going to start
adding my very first product
the first element you need to take into
consideration it's either you want to
add a photo or a video in this instance
I do not have any videos so just for the
sake of this demonstration I will use a
picture which I prepared earlier the
picture needs to be 1024 pixels by 1024
pixels then you need to give your
product a name a price quick description
you can also tick this box if you want
to show that this product is on sale I'm
not gonna do that today in the next
field we're gonna have to indicate the
URL where the product can be found on
either our website or somewhere where we
sell it I do not currently sell anything
so I'm just gonna use an Amazon link
this is again just for the sake of this
tutorial the final piece here is this
little option where you are able to
share this product on your page and if I
click on it it just says that your
product will be shared on your page as
soon as it has been approved by Facebook
the visibility leave it set to public
otherwise people will not see it will
not find it and the last thing that you
need to do is to click on the Save
button and here we are we have actually
added our first product well done so
let's click OK and as you can see the
very first product appears in our shop
to add more product simply repeat the
same process to display all your items
in your store ok so I've now added a few
products let's check how this works all
together clicking on the first one
you'll see it gives you the product
details with the price poor for this one
I've actually put a sales price so
originally it was sold for $25.99 but I
am now selling it for 1899 and this is
the built-in option that I showed you at
the beginning when you can actually set
your product up the next thing that you
need to do or the user will want to do
is potentially buy it and
check out on the website where that
product is sold so it could be sold on
your website or on another website in
this instance I've actually set it up so
it checks out on amazon.com let's try it
on let's try another option and I've set
a product which I would sell on my own
website this green t-shirt for example
so let's click on it
checkout on website and there you go
this is a very crude example however it
definitely demonstrates what you can do
and where you can send your visitors
okay so as part of the store Facebook
also allows you to create your own
collection if you've got a lot of
products and you want to organize them
then adding collections can be a very
smart things so let's have a look at how
this is done if you scroll down below
your products you will see a section
where you can actually create a
collection simply click on the add
collection button this will take you to
another screen give you a collection a
name so we're gonna call it cap
collection and we're gonna have to start
adding the products that we want to be
part of that collection so I'm gonna
select a couple of caps here once again
it's just for the sake of the example
obviously you can also feature this
collection what does that mean that
means if you really wanted to stand out
in your shop you can make it appear as
larger product images and it also
appears right at the top of your shop
section so let's let's do that okay and
let's save it there you go we've added
our very first cap collection let's have
a look at our shop now and that's it
as you can see the collection is right
at the top cap collection and just above
all the various products that we've
created originally right the very last
thing you need to consider is whether or
not you want to add a shop now' button
on your facebook business page obviously
if you'll
if you've created a shop you want to
promote it you want people to buy from
it so I would thoroughly recommend that
you add a shop now button in my case
I've already got a button on my page
called the cool now button because I
would prefer it if people called me
because I do not have anything to sell
however if you don't have a button or
already there you should have the option
to add one or two change the existing
one so let's change my one so I can show
you exactly how it's done simply mouse
over the call now button crawl down to
the edit option and that should show you
what you already have in place so in my
case it's the details of my phone number
so if I want to change this I just need
to click on the other option button and
that will trigger another pop-up from
which I can select another button
because we're setting up a shop we want
to give the option for the people to
make a purchase for our visitors to make
a purchase we just need to choose the
make a purchase or donation option click
on the arrow on the right hand side and
there you have it you've got a an option
that says shop now' so let's click on
that shop on your page click on shop on
your page and click on Save Changes
that's it it's all changed
you've got the shop now' button test it
roll your mouse over the button you will
see the drop down menu click on the test
button and that will take you to your
store I hope you've enjoyed this video
