Why Are My Shopify Products Not Showing Up On Instagram

There could be several reasons why your Shopify products are not showing up on Instagram:

  1. Ensure that you have an Instagram business account and it is linked to your Facebook Catalog.
  2. Make sure your Facebook Catalog is set up correctly and all of your Shopify products are listed in it.
  3. Make sure you have tagged your products in your Instagram posts. The Instagram sales channel will only show products that have been tagged in a post.
  4. Some Shopify themes may not be compatible with the Instagram sales channel. Try switching to a different theme to see if that resolves the issue.
  5. Ensure that your products are available for purchase on your Shopify store and not marked as “sold out”.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, you can contact Shopify Support for further assistance.

Conclusion

As an online retailer, connecting with customers is crucial to driving sales. Integrating Instagram with Shopify is an effective way to do this. By using shoppable Instagram posts and Instagram ads, you can provide an easy and seamless shopping experience for your followers.

You can connect other social platforms like Twitter. Our recommended practice is to ensure visible social sharing buttons on Shopify.
