You seem to have approached troubleshooting with great diligence, and I can understand how incredibly frustrating it can be to tackle a persistent issue like this, especially when your options for assistance are limited. This particular problem appears to be unique to Facebook’s platform, as your Instagram shop is functioning seamlessly with the same inventory.
Here are a few additional suggestions that could potentially resolve the issue at hand:
1: Verify the Product Availability Configuration: It is crucial to re-examine the product settings in your Shopify catalog to ensure that every item is marked as available on both Facebook and Instagram. There may very well be a discrepancy at the product level, even if the overall catalog seems to be shared correctly.
2: Re-sync the Catalog: In Shopify, try disconnecting and then reconnecting the Facebook channel. This action may rectify any underlying syncing issues and will prompt a much-needed catalog refresh. You can perform this action in your Shopify admin under Sales Channels > Facebook.
3: Modify the settings for your Facebook shop: Double-check that visibility is enabled for each collection in Facebook Commerce Manager, ensuring there are no additional filters or permissions inadvertently hiding products from view.
4: Facebook Cache Clearing: Occasionally, Facebook’s cache may require updating. Republishing collections or making minor adjustments to a few products could potentially enhance their visibility and resolve the issue.
5: Verify Facebook Policy Compliance: It’s vital to understand that even if a product appears perfectly acceptable on Instagram, Facebook has the right to reject it if it doesn’t adhere to their commerce policies. Carefully scrutinize product descriptions, photos, and details to ensure compliance that won’t lead to rejection.
If these recommended procedures do not yield results and you have already exhausted various tried-and-true solutions, you may need to escalate the issue by contacting Facebook’s Commerce support team directly through Facebook Business Manager.

I’ve gone through numerous troubleshooting steps, including checking the product listings, linking accounts, and even reaching out to customer support.
Interviewer: It sounds exhausting. What specific troubleshooting steps have you taken that you found the most helpful or challenging?
Jane Doe: I’ve tried a range of solutions, like clearing the cache, re-uploading products, and ensuring all the necessary tags and descriptions are correct. However, one of the most discouraging moments was when I discovered that despite all my efforts, nothing seemed to resolve the issue.

You feel mostly left to tackle this on your own?
Jane Doe: I’ve definitely turned to online communities for support. There are several forums and groups where other merchants share their experiences, and I’ve picked up a few tips from them. However, it often feels like a guessing game since there isn’t much clarity from Facebook about their specific requirements or known issues.
Interviewer: Given your experience, are there any particular strategies or suggestions that you’ve found useful that you could share with others facing similar issues?
Jane Doe: Yes, absolutely! I recommend double-checking the product availability configuration in the Shopify catalog right down to individual items. Sometimes, it’s a small oversight that can cause bigger issues. I’ve also learned that re-syncing the catalog by disconnecting and reconnecting the Facebook channel can work wonders. And don’t overlook visibility settings in Facebook Commerce Manager; that’s been a game changer for me.
Interviewer: Those are great tips! Given your ongoing challenges, do you have a plan moving forward if things don’t improve?
Jane Doe: If the situation doesn’t improve soon, I plan to reach out to Facebook’s Commerce support team directly. It’s a last resort, but I need to escalate this to get to the bottom of it.
