Introduction

UltraCart provides a facebook app that displays product on your fan pages. You control what product is displayed, and how that product is organized. The page provides links to your product pages and a means of 'Adding to Cart'.

...

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'. (sad)

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 then 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.
