Introducing Facebook Shops: Create Customizable Storefronts on Facebook and Instagram

2 min read

Meet your customers where they are. It's the golden rule for every business.


In the past, your sole option was to place a physical storefront in front of foot traffic. Now, social platforms serve as digital town squares and your business needs to meet shoppers with an experience that feels native, tailoring your brand’s story for the members of that community.

In that spirit, we're joining forces with Facebook to bring Facebook Shops to Shopify merchants, a new shopping experience that lets you create a customizable storefront on Facebook and Instagram.

Facebook Shops: Create a branded store for Facebook and Instagram

Facebook Shops is a simple version of your online store that lives inside the Facebook and Instagram mobile apps. Facebook Shops make it easy for billions of users to find, browse, and buy your products in the apps they use daily to discover new experiences.

You can bring your products to Facebook and Instagram's digital market with a shopping experience that feels native to each platform, on any device. Showcase your distinct brand and products by customizing the colors and layout of your Facebook Shop, and organize product collections into featured tiles to match the look and feel of your Shopify store.

The shopping experience is fast and seamless, so customers can quickly discover the right product on your Facebook Shop and complete checkout on your Shopify store.

And with Shopify's integration, your products, inventory, and back office will stay in perfect sync with your Shopify store, so you can run your business in one place while selling on many sales channels.

There's much more in the works, and a few ways you can get started today. 

Getting your business ready for Facebook Shops

Shopify merchants will be among the first to get access to this new channel, so they can quickly offer these new mobile shopping experiences to their customers in these times.

Here's what you can expect: If you already have access to product tags through the Instagram sales channel, Facebook Shops will automatically become available to you in the coming weeks and you will be directly notified. Facebook Shops can be created on Instagram, with a version for Facebook coming soon.

If you haven't set up product tagging on Instagram yet, Facebook Shops will be available to you in the coming months. To prepare your store, you can install Shopify's new Facebook channel today, which will be your new home to power all of your sales and marketing activity across the Facebook family of apps. Once you've synced your products through our Facebook channel, you'll automatically get access once Facebook Shops is available for your account.

Making open source JavaScript pay

Image
Money isn’t everything to the success of the most popular JavaScript frameworks. Or is it? Looking at the  2019 State of JavaScript report , something stands out: Money apparently can’t buy everything. Or, at least, not every major front-end and back-end programming framework is sponsored by a big company. Sure, we have Google to thank for  Angular , and Facebook gets credit for  React , but what about  Vue.js ? Or Gatsby? Or Next.js? While these (and other) open source projects do seem to suggest a future without Big Corps shoveling Big Money into open source, the reality is a bit more nuanced. For the developers looking to pay their way through open source, however, reality isn’t nuanced at all. For every Vue.js founder  Evan You making $16,000 per month with Patreon contributions , there are thousands of developers struggling to scrape together $16 for the important open source work they’re doing.

How artificial intelligence is making the education system more relevant?

Digital learning solutions equipped with artificial intelligence are making revolutionary changes to the way education is imparted in students with varied interests and capabilities. When we think of artificial intelligence, there is a hardwired imagery of gigantic thinking machines working in sci-fi environment. This imagery often comes from the science fiction that we have been watching or reading since childhood. However, deep diving suggests that artificial intelligence is an advanced form of algorithm that empowers machines to emulate human behavior under real life situations. Today, there is no industry untouched by the ripples caused by artificial intelligence. Education sets the foundation of human behavior. Educational ecosystem is formed by knowledge base, teaching skills and experience, learning capability, and evolving teaching methods. Digital learning solutions equipped with artificial intelligence are making revolutionary changes to the way educat...

What Is Brutalism in Web Design?

Image
3   min read   Brutalism is a special breed of web design, working well for quirky, creative brands and individuals. However, this rule-bending design technique must be employed with care. Read this guide to find out how. Brutalism is one of those trends that seems to come and go in web design. It’s not because there isn’t much value in brutalist design. It’s more that it doesn’t always fit with the style and tone of the times.  That’s part of what makes brutalism so intriguing though. When most websites tend to fall in line and adopt the same basic trends from year to year, a website that doesn’t play by the rules can easily steal the spotlight.  You just need to know whether that’s the right kind of light you want to shine on the brand. Brutalism can sometimes come off as cold and somber. If it’s not properly executed or not used for the right kind of brand, it can send the wrong signals to website visitors.  In this guide to brutalism in web design, we’l...
