How can I connect my Square Online website to my Facebook page?

The title of this post has been edited from the original: facebook marketplace

 

I've found out that some e-commerce platforms allow integration with facebook marketplace so that you can easily post to that audience without remaking each item description.  Is there a way to do with with square?

As long as you've set up your Square Online Store, you can connect to Facebook, @renmishele. One of the required steps for connecting involves syncing your Item Library to your Facebook account, which will allow you to use Facebook Shop to make items visible to your customers on your Facebook Page.

 

It sounds like this is what you're looking for, but please let us know if it's not!

I have read several threads where others seemed to have or be having a similar issue. When I get to the import your items step, it shows 11 items, I click next. I either get an error message or it seemingly is a "success" but alas zero items are showing in the Facebook store. I have tried and retried for several days now. Speaking live to someone would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Hi there,

 

I noticed my newer Square items were not available for tagging on FB and Instagram recently, and just started looking into it today. The last time my Square catalog was fetched was 12/4, so I went ahead and asked it to fetch the items manually. It spun and spun and never did anything, so I went ahead and disconnected and tried to reconnect (as that usually will fix little quirks).

 

However, I cannot get the Square Online account to connect to my Facebook Shop Catalog automatically. The only option I get is to upload manually, which with 100s of items just isn't something I'm super interested in. 

 

There is an option to "choose a partner" to automatically use that partner as my catalog... but Square is not an option for that any longer. Shopify, Big Commerce, and a half dozen others are. 

 

Did Square stop integration with Facebook/Instagram? Is there some weird button I'm missing? I have tried this a few times, and used all the help pages/troubleshooting on both Square and Facebook to no avail. There just doesn't seem to be an option have Facebook talk to Square on the Facebook page... anywhere.

 

Please advise! Thanks!

We added the Facebook Shop integration to import our item catalog of over 2500 products. I noticed that products which have no inventory in Square / Square Online set the Facebook Item field Availability to In Stock. Obviously this is going to cause issues with selling items which are out of stock.

Does anyone know how to fix this issue? 

Are there any guides on the Facebook and Square integration beyond the simple basic page on how to connect them?

I am having trouble linking Square Online with Facebook Shops. The Square Online Dashboard - Website - Facebook is showing that everything is linked. However on the Facebook Business Suite - Commerce - Catalog - Data Sources it won't let me add a source via Pixel and shows this error: "This pixel's microdata is incomplete or incorrectly formatted."

 

The Facebook Microdata Debug Tool for Catalog shows that my item pages have these errors: A required field is missing: id, A required field is missing: price, A required field is missing: availability, A required field is missing: link.

 

The Facebook Events Manager is showing data for the Pixel that I used when I integrated Square Online with Facebook.

I'm sort of lost here...

Welcome to the Community, @xdreamwalker

 

Since it's showing connected on our end, I am going to recommend reaching out to Facebook to what issues are on their end. 

 

In the case they don't have a suggestion to help, please let me know!

On Facebook's end:

 

"This pixel's microdata is incomplete or incorrectly formatted."

 

The Facebook Microdata Debug Tool for Catalog shows that my item pages have these errors:

A required field is missing: id

A required field is missing: price

A required field is missing: availability

A required field is missing: link.
