Have you been finding it difficult to sell your items on Facebook? Are you discouraged because the posts that showcase your art is not reaching your following? I have some great news to share with you. Facebook now has a Shopping feature for Business Pages. Now every time a person visits your Page they will see the items you are selling. In this post, you will discover how to add products to a Facebook Shop.

How To Add Products To A Facebook Shop

Are you thinking about selling your art on Facebook?

If you are I have some exciting news that I have just stumbled on.

Facebook is a great platform to build an audience and selling product on your Facebook page has never been easier.

Facebook now offers a free Facebook Shop that allows businesses to sell products with a nice clean gallery that compliments the Facebook Business Page.

Creating a Facebook shop is free but you will be charged a processing fee of 2.9% + 0.30 per transaction per sale.

For more information on how to create a Facebook Shop visit Optimize Your Facebook Page For Art Sales.

At this time Facebook only allows you to sell physical products and you must upload them one at a time so they can confirm that they follow their policies.

Add Products To Facebook Shop

At this time, you can only add products to your Facebook Shop via a computer.

Click Add Product.

Upload the image of the product you are making a list for. The image dimensions are 1024px x 1024px.

Add Product Details

Add the title of your artwork in the Name section

Add the price of your art in the Price section.

Add the description of your art in the Description section.

Add an inventory count.

It is important to keep an accurate count of the products you are selling especially if you are offering the same items on multiple platforms.

I am only offering prints of my art on my Facebook Page. If someone is interested in purchasing the original they can contact me and I will redirect them to the listing. This makes it easier for me to make sure the inventory is accurate and prevents a customer from trying to purchase an item that is no longer available.

You can offer options like color and size for your products by clicking Edit Options.

Choose the shipping method you will be providing.

Click Save.

Your product will say Processing until it is approved by Facebook. This process could take up to 24 hours.

You might want to consider investing in some Facebook marketing courses if you are planning on using Facebook as a marketing tool for your business.
