Way 2: Sell on Facebook for a company outside the US

Selling through Facebook is different for different countries. Hopefully, this changes someday, but for now, here is how to set up a shop internationally.

Below we will look at how to do this using an eCommerce platform like WordPress and WooCommerce + the Facebook plugin. You can choose another platform, but then the setup process may be different.

An important nuance of this method is that users will not buy directly from your business page on Facebook, but be redirected to your website.

It's not as convenient as the first way, but it's better than nothing!

How to Sell on Facebook for a company based outside the US

  1. Download and install the Facebook for WooCommerce plugin.
  2. Open WooCommerce, select Settings, click Integration, and after that the "Get Started" button.
  3. The next window will appear just click "Next".
  4. On the "Facebook Page" click "Next button"
  5. Then select the appropriate Facebook Pixel from the list of suggested ones. Click on the "Next Button" again.
  6. Choose the catalog from your WooCommerce store and click on "Finish".
  7. Congratulations, the installation is complete!
  8. Setup complete
