If you run an online store on WordPress, you probably know all about WooCommerce, most popular online store plugin. So, you set up a WooCommerce store, filled it with great products, outfitted it with great product images, and used some carefully selected WooCommerce plugins to get it right. Now all you need is to start making some sales.
And in order to make some sales, you first need more store visitors. How about fooling them by integrating your store with the world’s most popular social network? WooCommerce and Facebook can be integrated to benefit your store, but it takes some time to set up. Lucky for you, we got to show you how to do this every step of the way. Here’s what we’ll talk about:
As we said earlier, Facebook is by far the most popular social network in existence right now. This is if you have a Facebook presence, your real influence is greater than the sum of your social followers: Facebook “friends” can see others’ interactions, expanding your organic reach.
I would not mind more promotional channels More visibility through Facebook ads and sponsored posts and ultimately your store. To be honest, we don’t see that integrating your WooCommerce stores with Facebook (especially if you already have a Facebook presence) can be nothing but beneficial in terms of sales and attracting more customers.
We will assume that you already have a WordPress website and have already set up an online store using WooCommerce. Whether you use a premium online store theme or a free theme – all you need is A fully functional WooCommerce store.
Another thing you need to do before you get started is to open and set up a Facebook account. a Facebook page. We won’t show you how, but it’s not too difficult. Any Facebook user can create a page and on-screen commands make it easy and fast.
Finally, you will also need to set up the Facebook Pixel. Facebook Pixel is a piece of code with various functions, but most of them are related to the commercial aspects of Facebook.
Once you’ve done all that and dusted off, you can move on to the next section.
The integration functions you need require a plugin. we will use Facebook for WooCommerce Plugin developed by Facebook that you need to install and activate on your website as well.

As we mentioned above, a manual review is required for your store to stand out on Facebook, as Facebook wants to make sure your store (and every store) complies with Facebook rules and community guidelines. While a little annoying, it’s a must, and that means it can take weeks for your store or any of its products to appear on Facebook.
As a result
As you can see, integrating your WooCommerce store with Facebook is not that difficult, although it may take some time. We’re pretty sure that even for these somewhat complex integrations, WordPress’ basic principle of making the internet for everyone still applies. Your own sales and marketing strategies are of course up to you, but with this training, we think you’re at least technologically equipped to make a killing.
