Why Facebook Shops Sellers Are Making the Switch to Shopify
Facebook Shops offer a quick way to start selling but they’re limited when it comes to growth, control, and customer retention. Many brands launch on Facebook Shops because it’s tied to social reach. But as their sales grow, they quickly feel boxed in.
Shopify gives sellers the power to fully own their brand, customer data, and long-term strategy. If you’re serious about turning followers into loyal customers and building a business beyond social media, Shopify is the next smart step.
