Checkout on Facebook/Instagram or Shopify - Which is the best?
por Veronica Jeans, Shopify Queen
Check out on Facebook or Instagram
Message in your Facebook & Instagram sales channel in the Shopify store:
"Beginning April 24, 2024, only shops with checkout on Facebook and Instagram will be supported
To build a seamless shopping experience for people that helps businesses of all sizes grow, beginning in April 24, 2024, we will only continue supporting Facebook and Instagram Shops with checkout enabled. To get ahead of these changes, enable checkout on Facebook and Instagram today."
** If a customer is shopping on your store's Facebook page or Instagram account, then they can select Buy now to purchase products directly on Facebook or Instagram.
- The customer's payment and shipping details are saved securely for future purchases.
- Instagram users can tag your products in their own posts, which lets other customers purchase the product directly from those posts.
- Facebook and Instagram can send push notifications, countdowns, and product stickers to help drive sales of your next product release.
- Facebook and Instagram can enable ad retargeting at all points of your customer's journey.
- On July 1, 2023, Meta will remove the 5% selling fee per shipment. However, payment processing fees will still apply and will now be charged by Shopify directly.
- If you are using Shopify Payments, then you will be charged the same processing fees as your online store by Shopify.
- If you are using Shop Pay for third-party gateways, then this will not impact the fees for your store’s existing processor.
- If you want to sell directly on Facebook and Instagram, then you need to comply with Facebook's Commerce eligibility requirements. This includes requirements such as a minimum return window of 30 days.
- Carrier-calculated shipping rates aren't available when customers check out on Facebook or Instagram.
- Discounts created in your Shopify admin can be applied to sales made through checking out on Facebook or Instagram.
- Subscriptions, pre-orders and try before you buy are unavailable when a customer checks out on Facebook or Instagram.
- The only customer information that you receive from the order is the customer’s name, email address, and shipping address. Customer email addresses collected through checking out on Facebook and Instagram can only be used for marketing purposes if the customer opts in.
- Your Facebook account needs to be connected to a bank account so that you can receive payments for orders placed on Facebook and Instagram. In your Shopify admin, click Settings > Payments, and then click Go to Facebook to enter or edit your bank account information on Facebook.
- You need to add a return policy for orders placed on Facebook and Instagram.
- When you set up shipping information, you need to set a standard shipping option in your Shopify admin Shipping settings. No custom shipping profiles.
Not in the USA:
- If your products have the All prices include tax setting active, then your products can't be sold using Checkout on Facebook and Instagram.
- If you sell internationally, then you can activate Dynamic tax-inclusive pricing to include or exclude taxes based on your customer's location.
Do we have a Choice?
The message from Shopify:
"Beginning April 24, 2024, only shops with checkout on Facebook and Instagram will be supported
To build a seamless shopping experience for people that helps businesses of all sizes grow, beginning in April 24, 2024, we will only continue supporting Facebook and Instagram Shops with checkout enabled. To get ahead of these changes, enable checkout on Facebook and Instagram today.
First, the Facebook and Instagram channel is going to change in April 2024. "
Review the following considerations for having your customers check out from your Shopify store:
- If a customer is shopping on your store's Facebook page or Instagram account, then they can select View on website to be redirected to your Shopify store where they can complete their purchase.
- You can customize your customer's online store checkout experience. These customizations include allowing discounts and subscriptions, custom branding and messaging, and pre-order options.
- You can use enhanced shipping options, such as flat shipping rates and carrier calculated shipping rates.
- There are lower selling fees. Selling fees are based on your Shopify store's plan.
- Customers shopping directly from your online store means that your store gets more traffic, and can lead to larger purchases.
- Orders placed on Facebook and Instagram must be fulfilled within 30 days. If you use a print-on-demand service, then you should choose Your Shopify Online Store as your checkout option because you don't directly control fulfillment times.

How to Use AI for Customer Segmentation: Identifying Your High-Value Shoppers Without a Data Science Degree
por Veronica Jeans, Bestselling Author junio 20, 2025
Not all customers are created equal.
That's not controversial—you already know that some shoppers spend more, shop more frequently, or influence more people than others. The challenge has always been identifying exactly who these valuable customers are and understanding what makes them different.
Traditional customer segmentation (grouping by age, location, or basic purchase history) only tells part of the story. It's like trying to understand a person by knowing only their height and shoe size.
AI-powered segmentation, on the other hand, can analyze hundreds of behavior patterns and purchasing signals to identify your most valuable customer groups with remarkable precision—without requiring you to become a data scientist.
According to McKinsey & Company, businesses that excel at personalization generate 40% more revenue from targeted activities. The foundation of this personalization? Sophisticated customer segmentation.
In this guide, I'll walk you through how e-commerce store owners can leverage AI for customer segmentation in practical, actionable ways—even if terms like "neural networks" and "regression analysis" make your eyes glaze over.

From Shopify to Social: Creating a Seamless Multi-Channel Experience Without Losing Your Mind
por Veronica Jeans, Bestselling Author junio 13, 2025
Remember when having a beautiful Shopify store was enough? Those simple days are long gone.
Today's customers don't think in channels—they seamlessly flow between your Instagram shop, TikTok videos, Facebook marketplace, and Shopify store, expecting a consistent experience at every touchpoint.
According to Harvard Business Review, customers who engage with brands across multiple channels spend 4% more on every shopping occasion in-store and 10% more online than single-channel customers. Even more compelling, with each additional channel they use, their spending increases.
But here's the challenge: while customers experience your brand holistically, you're often managing these channels through disconnected tools, platforms, and strategies—leading to inconsistency, duplicate work, and quite frankly, entrepreneur burnout.
In this guide, I'll walk you through how to create a truly connected multi-channel experience that feels seamless to your customers without requiring you to work 80-hour weeks or hire a team of specialists. This is about working smarter, not harder, across all your sales and marketing channels.

Beyond Chatbots: 5 Practical AI Tools Every E-commerce Store Owner Should Be Using in 2025
por Veronica Jeans, Bestselling Author junio 09, 2025
When most e-commerce store owners think about AI, they immediately picture chatbots answering customer questions. And yes, those are useful (when implemented well).
But here's the truth: focusing only on chatbots is like buying a smartphone just to make phone calls.
The real power of AI for your e-commerce business lies in the less flashy, behind-the-scenes applications that can dramatically improve your operations, marketing, and bottom line.
According to a recent McKinsey report, businesses that fully embrace AI tools are seeing revenue increases of 3-15% and cost reductions of 10-25%. Yet many store owners aren't tapping into this potential because they don't know where to start beyond the chatbot.
In this post, I'll walk you through five practical, high-impact AI tools that go far beyond customer service automation. These are the tools that my most successful clients are already implementing to create significant competitive advantages in their stores.
