What Is a Facebook Store? – Facebook shop

Before I write on anything let me ask what is a Facebook store? Do you know? If you do not know I will be surprised. At the same time, I won’t be surprised. But you can’t tell me that you haven’t come across ads on Facebook telling you to buy stuffs on the platform.

The reason I said I won’t be surprised is this. Well this is not the first time facebook is coming up with a feature like this. Facebook has previously come up with platforms and features like the facebook buy and sell groups and also the facebook marketplace.

These features work in similar fashion as the facebook store. I said I will be surprised in other hand because this particular feature has gained a lot of popularity over the years since its inception. I can say to some extents that this feature is better than the facebook marketplace.

Like one this feature has no restrictions. It is open to all facebook users unlike the facebook marketplace that is only available to selected regions. But with the facebook store it is totally different. The feature is open and accessible to all facebook users. All you need to do is to own a facebook account.

Now to answer the question, what is a facebook store? This is a facebook feature. And like the facebook marketplace and the facebook buy and sell groups you can easily buy and sell products and items to other facebook users. Unlike other online store platforms this one is easy to create and use. all you need is a facebook page. This is because this feature is integrated with the facebook page feature. You therefore need a facebook page.
