Introduction to FBE

The new Facebook Business Extension (FBE) seamlessly connects your online store with Facebook Business Manager (BM), Facebook page, Facebook Business Advertisement Account, Facebook Pixel, Instagram Business Account, and product information through integration in the SHOPLINE store admin. This simplifies pixel configuration and data reporting, ultimately improving sellers' website operation efficiency.

Additionally, SHOPLINE's FBE now includes the Facebook Data Sharing Plugin, allowing you to choose the level of consumer data sharing to configure.

• Standard: The application of the Facebook Pixel (Third-party cookies) allows the collection and sharing of customer browsing behavior within your online store.  Browser-based advertisement blockers can prevent the pixel code from collecting data.
• Enhanced: It bundles all data-sharing options to achieve maximum customer engagement. It applies the Conversion API (CAPI), sharing data directly from SHOPLINE's servers to Facebook. This means that advertisement blockers cannot prevent the transmission of this data.
