How do I customize my new store?
Customize your new store by going to the “Appearance” section in your admin section. There are two colored squares within this section. By clicking on either square a full color palette will appear. Just select the color that meets your brand and click “Save Changes.” This will automatically make the desired changes anywhere you’ve previously embedded or added your store. You can also upload a custom banner, change your store name, and define your store’s tag line in the “Appearance” section.
Can I remove items I no longer wish to sell?
Absolutely! You can remove any items you no longer wish to sell by logging into your store, selecting any item and clicking “Remove Product.” Deleting an item from within your administrative section will remove it automatically from every shared store location anywhere on the web. All changes made to your store auto update every location in real time.

Does Facebook Online Shop let me sell mp3 files and other electronic content? Does it deliver the content automatically after it is purchased?
You can sell electronic content as long as you are the copyright holder. Don’t sell stuff that isn’t yours on Facebook Online Shop, or anywhere else for that matter. Facebook Online Shop does not currently provide a way to deliver electronic content, such as mp3 audio, videos, eBooks, or images, automatically after purchase. Delivery of all products from seller to buyer is the responsibility of the seller.
How can I set complex shipping rate rules?
Facebook Online Shop allows you to set a base shipping rate and per-item shipping rates (by including shipping prices in each item’s price). However, you may want more control over how shipping rates are calculated. For that, we recommend you set advanced shipping rates in your PayPal or Amazon account; these rates, if set, always override shipping rates set in your Facebook Online Shop admin.
To take advantage of PayPal’s shipping rate calculation services, sign in to PayPal and click the Merchant Services tab. The options of note here are listed under the heading “Shipping & Tax.” Take special note of “Shipping Calculator;” it lets you set up foreign shipping rates, multiple shipping options (such as Express), and how to calculate shipping. You may set shipping to be calculated from order total amount (in dollars) or number of items purchased.
What if I have never sold online before?
