Why inbox-only selling gets harder
Answering the same questions about price, stock, sizes, and delivery takes time. When several orders arrive together, it’s also easier to miss an address or record the wrong variant.
Put those details on your store so shoppers can order without waiting for a reply. Your team can then spend more time on questions that need a personal answer.
Compare inbox orders and store checkout
Use the inbox for conversations and checkout to collect order details in a consistent format.
| Task | Facebook inbox | Online store |
|---|---|---|
| Product details | Explain price and stock in chat. | List prices, stock, and variants on the page. |
| Orders | Record the address and item manually. | Checkout collects details in a consistent format. |
| Follow-up | Search messages to find the order. | Review orders and statuses in the dashboard. |
Use Facebook and your store together
Keep posting photos, videos, and updates on Facebook. When a shopper messages you, answer their question and share the direct product link. The conversation stays in chat, and the order goes through your store.
Before sharing a link, check that it shows the right product, stock, price, and delivery details. When the order arrives, review it in the dashboard before packing.
Six steps to set up your store
- Create a store. Use the name, logo, and contact details customers recognize from your Facebook page.
- Customize a template. Start in the template library, then replace the sample images, prices, and product details.
- Prepare product links. Open a link on your phone and test the full path from selecting a variant to placing an order.
- Configure payments. Enable the methods you accept and place a test order.
- Set up delivery. Set charges by area and connect an available courier integration if needed.
- Measure ad results. If you configure tracking, test the events and compare campaign reports with orders recorded in your store.
Three ways to bring Facebook shoppers to checkout
- Share the specific product link. Put it in the post caption or a pinned comment so shoppers reach the right item.
- Keep mobile checkout short. Ask for the details you need and show the total before confirmation.
- Spell out offer terms. If you offer free delivery or a discount, say where and when it applies.
