hi guys
lauren from pagefly here today i'll show
you how to connect your shopify store
with your instagram account
so we need to start by creating a
facebook business account
note that to do this you need to be
logged into your personal facebook
account
and that this account has to be over a
month old so
come to the facebook business manager
homepage and click on create account
fill out the name of your shopify store
and the email address it's registered to
next fill in the personal details of
your store and click submit
a confirmation email will be sent to the
email account you just registered
confirm your email and you'll have full
access to the facebook business
dashboard
there are a lot of things going on here
so i recommend going to facebook
blueprint
to take a few courses about each of the
features listed
for now i need to link my business's
facebook page by clicking on add page
i don't have a page yet so i need to
create one on facebook
simply go to the facebook home page and
click the create tab
in the top right corner then select page
this will bring you to this page where
you can create a page super quickly by
filling out the required information
of course you can come back to flesh out
the page with more info later on
but for now we just need the basics
once that's done you can come back to
facebook business manager
and type in the name of your page into
the add a facebook page box
you can see who has access to your
business page here
and here you can choose to add any
facebook pages that are linked to your
business's main page
you can grant other people access to
this page by clicking on the people tab
and then on the add button
simply type the email of whoever you
want to add here
then choose what type of access you want
to grant them on your page
the next step is to set up a facebook
sales channel
to do this come to the shopify dashboard
and click on the plus icon
next to sales channel
scroll to the bottom of the list and
find facebook
click on the plus and you'll be taken to
the facebook channel dashboard
before we start selling on instagram we
need to set up a facebook shop
click on start setup here
click on connect account
as you can see here you'll have to sign
into your personal facebook account to
connect your business account to shopify
once you've entered your password you'll
be prompted to continue
you'll have to grant shopify access to
your facebook business account
but you can choose what you want to
allow
after you've connected your facebook
account to shopify
you'll have to connect the business
manager simply open the drop down menu
and click on the name of your store next
connect your facebook page in the same
way
creating a facebook pixel gives you
access to detailed analytics about your
store
it's always a good idea to do this as it
can give you a much better idea about
your customers buying behavior
the last thing you'll need to connect is
a facebook commerce account
doing this is mandatory if you want to
sell on instagram
finally click on review terms to check
out the terms
and conditions
read through all of this and make sure
you're happy with everything
then click on accept terms
once you've connected everything you'll
see green ticks next to each of the
boxes
if that's the case you can click on
finish setup and your facebook shop will
be fully connected with shopify
now you can finally create your
professional instagram account
and start linking it with your facebook
shop
if you haven't already got a personal
instagram account for your store
be sure to set one up quickly first i'll
show you on my phone
how to switch your personal account into
a professional one
click on the profile icon in the bottom
right corner
then click on settings
click on account then scroll to the
bottom
and select switch to professional
account
click on the business option and then
click on continue to set up an
instagram business account find the
category that best fits your store
and then click on next add your store's
information here
so that people can see your contact
details on your instagram page
now you just need to connect your new
instagram business account with your
facebook account
to do this simply click on the profile
icon again
then come back to settings
you'll have a brand new business tab in
your settings so click
on this select connect a facebook page
and when prompted connect existing page
choose your facebook page from here
click done
and your instagram and facebook accounts
will be linked
so now you can connect your instagram
business page with your facebook
business manager
simply come to accounts in the left hand
menu and click on instagram accounts
click on add and then the connect your
instagram account button
sign in to your instagram account
lastly you'll be asked if you want to
connect an ad account
you'll only need to do this if you want
to start an ad campaign on instagram
this is optional for now so click on
finish and your instagram account
will be connected to your facebook
business manager
okay so the final step is to set up your
instagram sales channel
you can do this easily by clicking on
the facebook shop that you set up on
your shopify earlier
from here you can set up instagram
shopping
normally this button would say start
setup but seeing as i'm in the middle of
setting it up
mine says continue setup so
i'll click this and i'll just have to
connect my instagram business account
simply press the connect button here
if you've done everything correctly
you'll have a green tick at the side of
every box
after which you can press the request
approval button at the bottom of the
page
it'll take a few days for you to get
approval of your store
but once you're approved you'll have an
instagram storefront
and will be able to sell on the platform
through product tagging
that's it for this video thanks so much
for watching
we'll see you next
