Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How do I make my store the default landing page for my Facebook site?
A. You must have 10,000+ 'likes' for your page before you can use an unauthenticated (non-Facebook) app as the default page.
Q. Is there a way to make my UltraCart store app authenticated so I can use it as the default page.
A. Yes. Get 10,000 'likes'.
Q: Can I host my entire store via this Facebook store integration?
A: Possibly, if your merchant count is low (dozen or less), then you can list all your items. However, if you have a larger item count storefront, you'll want to list your most popular/relevant products for display in the facebook store and lead them to your primary store front for the rest of the items. The primary purpose of the facebook store is to get people to visit your store more so than to be the entire store itself.
