Can You Connect WooCommerce to Facebook?

Last updated on January 11, 2023 @ 12:21 pm

Yes, you can connect WooCommerce to Facebook! There are a few different ways to do it, but we’ll outline the two most popular methods here.

The first way is to use the Facebook for WooCommerce plugin. This is a free plugin that you can install from the WordPress plugin repository.

Once installed and activated, you’ll need to connect your WooCommerce store to your Facebook account. This can be done by going to the plugin’s settings page and entering your Facebook App ID and App Secret.

Once connected, you’ll be able to choose which products you want to share on your Facebook page, as well as customizing the look and feel of the posts.

The second way to connect WooCommerce to Facebook is by using the official Facebook SDK for PHP. This requires a bit more technical knowledge, but it’s not too difficult to set up. First, you’ll need to download the SDK and extract it to your WordPress directory.

PRO TIP: Can You Connect WooCommerce to Facebook?

We strongly recommend that you do not connect your WooCommerce store to Facebook. There have been reports of data being leaked and/or misused when people have connected their WooCommerce stores to Facebook.

Next, you’ll need to create a file called fb-config.php in your WooCommerce directory and paste in the following code:

<?php
  $app_id = 'YOUR_APP_ID';
  $app_secret = 'YOUR_APP_SECRET';
  $default_graph_version = 'v2.8';
?>

Be sure to replace YOUR_APP_ID and YOUR_APP_SECRET with the App ID and App Secret from your Facebook App. You can find this information in the App Dashboard under Settings > Basic.

Once that’s done, you can create a new file called fb-products.php and paste in the following code:

<?php
  require_once 'fb-config.php';
  require_once 'facebook-sdk/src/Facebook/autoload.php';
?>
