We want to display Magento 2 products at Facebook Dynamic Product Ads.
I am a little bit confused.
Google says that 'Facebook Pixel' is a solution.
I got many free links for download facebook pixel extension.
Is my question that displays dynamic Magento products to facebook through just install 'Facebook Pixel' extension?
How can I display dynamic Magento products on facebook?
Is their any Magento 2 extension?
In order to display your Magento 2 products within your Facebook Business Manager Catalog (Dynamic Ads) or within your Facebook Store, you need to set up a feed in your Facebook Business Manager account and provide it to URL of your feed -
The feed CSV file generation itself can be done in two ways:
Manually, by creating the CSV feed file on your server. See a CSV sample here - https://origincache.facebook.com/developers/resources/?id=dpa_product_catalog_sample_feed.csv. And here is the Facebook documentation and explanation of the CSV fields - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/marketing-api/dynamic-product-ads/product-catalog/#setup-product-feed
Using a custom extension. One of such extensions is Facebook Shop Integration by Mexbs.
It implements a cron that creates a CSV feed file on an hourly, daily or weekly base. For configurable products, the feed file builds up a special structure that allows displaying drop downs of the options in the Facebook store. It also implements quick shop functionality. That is the product is added to cart and the customer is redirected to checkout immediately after clicking the "Checkout on Website" button on Facebook.

This is not a programming-related question.
I am a project manager for a real estate management system that is being written in PHP/Laravel. We are trying to incorporate social aspects for our contact's profiles.
For example, if you know his twitter or instagram accounts, you could easily submit them while creating his account and on his profile page you could easily see what this contact has been up to on twitter or instagram. Sort of like keeping up to date with your client's social lives through social media.
Please understand that this is all done with consent. We wouldn't have his/her twitter account unless he/she had given it up in the first place.
The problem is with Facebook, and since most of our social engagement is through facebook this is starting to become a real issue.
As we know, you cannot grab a user's status unless you are friends with them. So if we added the facebook field in our RMS the same way we did with twitter and instagram, it wouldn't work because we're not friends with that client.
So I thought how about we create a personal account under our company's name, then we send a friend request to the contact. Once he approves, we can go back and edit his account on our RMS to include his facebook username... And I think now we will be able to see his latest facebook statuses.
I think that would work, please correct me if I'm wrong.
Also if there's another way to do it, please enlighten me.
It's not true that you need to be friends with the specific user. The user needs to give an app of yours permission to access his data. Therefore, Facebook implements the OAuth protocol.
Have a look at the following resources:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/manually-build-a-login-flow/v2.0
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/permissions/v2.0

Is there a way I can get a poll to show up on both my wordpress site and facebook.
Do I need to use a facebook app?
Could I create an iframe to show up on the facebook page?
I'm not exactly sure if this poll will just show up on the homepage of a facebook page or if the poll will be something in the news feed. I am just trying to do initial research.
Most of my searched brings up polldaddy.com
I am currently using wp-polls, could I create a custom interface to have it show up on facebook?
1) Yes.
2) Yes
3) When creating Facebook Applications, iFrames are used by default, pointing to the location of your app on the server you specified in your Application Settings
4) Applications themselves cannot appear on a Facebook Profile page. You can generate Links and Status Messages (among other things) for users that approve your app which CAN appear in the user's Timeline/Profile Page
5) Depending on what you want to spend, Woobox is a good one too.
6) Yes. Since Applications are just iFrames, you can style the page on which you want your poll to appear to look however you like. Though, on Facebook, it will still reside ONLY on its corresponding application page.
You will want to look into the Javascript SDK or the PHP SDK for more information on how to set up a UI for your Facebook App to interact with Facebook itself.

From a previous FB SO question, I worked out that the Create New App button is probably missing because I created the fan page without a proper FB account and I think they want something more concrete to verify me or something. So I created a proper FB account, as me, and now I'm stuck.
I can't join the developer community. The first time I clicked to join, it said "Cancel Request" for a few hours before reverting to Join, so I clicked it again and its been pending ever since - there's no email confirmation, it's all a bit mysterious.
I need to join because I don't think this (SO) is the right place to ask questions about the problems I'm having just setting up a new app, or linking my new account to the fan page.
I'm stuck - my company is blocked to add new features.
You do need to register, then log in to FB, and accept their permissions to become a developer. I created a very nice step by step guide that takes you through everything, including registering with FB, setting up a Java WebService, Persistence, and registering for FREE web hosting, resulting in a completed demo App with some sample FB calls. Goes from absolute 0 to fully functioning FB app with this 3 part blog series (part 1 starts here):
http://ocpsoft.org/opensource/creating-a-facebook-app-setup-and-tool-installation/
I'm going to supply an official answer. I needed to create a proper Facebook account as me, with friends, and then set this account as an administrator of the Facebook page. Then wait for their servers to propagate changes.
Bottom line: if you created your page using a page account (i.e. an account representing your brand and not a person), you can't make apps, and Facebook doesn't give error messages, it just hides options or redirects you round in circles.

We have a Facebook App which is launching tomorrow at 9am. The App Profile Page is here: http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=305816312768314
There's a banner on it which says these pages are deprecated, and I should migrate. I would love to. However, there's no link that I can find which will allow us to migrate, either on that page or in the App's settings.
We have a page which meets the requirements (same name, and is a Product/App category) here: http://www.facebook.com/CameraAwesome
When our App publishes to FB (it's a Camera app), and the resulting photo says "via Camera Awesome" the 'Camera Awesome' link that FB is generating still links to the deprecated App Profile Page: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150842254209778&set=a.10150842250419778.510347.525564777&type=1&theater
Already read and tried:
https://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/2012/02/01/how-to--migrate-your-app-profile-page/
http://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/611/
http://www.hyperarts.com/blog/how-to-migrate-your-app-profile-page-to-a-facebook-page/
Would love to know how we can properly get this fixed so that FB is linking to the App Page rather than the deprecated App Profile Page.
Any ideas?
Your official Facebook Page may not be getting all the fans it deserves because users are accidentally Liking unofficial duplicate versions of your Page you’ve created. These missing fans cost you news feed impressions and clicks and ad targeting opportunities, or require you to waste time managing multiple duplicate Pages. Fortunately, Facebook now offers the “Merge duplicate pages” tool to allow you to roll fans from duplicate versions of Pages into your official Page.
Instructions for Merging Duplicate Pages
Go to your Page and click “Edit Page”, then click the “Resources” tab, and then select “Merge duplicate pages”. You’ll then see a list of any duplicate Pages that are eligible to be rolled into your Page. [Update: We've determined that currently, duplicate Pages must be under your control to be eligible for a merge. Those looking to gain control of community Pages or unofficial fan-controlled Pages that represent the same thing as their official Page should use the "Is this your business?" link or "Report: duplicate" link beneath the duplicate Page's profile picture.]
To qualify, you must be an admin of the duplicate Page, and it must have an identical name to the official Page. If you don’t see any eligible Pages, check back in a few weeks as Facebook may expand eligibility to similar but not identical Pages.
Reporting Non-Identical Duplicate Pages
The merge tool only works for Pages you control with exactly the same name as the official Page. Therefore, you may not find the duplicates you were hoping to merge with in the tool. Admins have two sensible options in this situation:
Report the Pages as Duplicates
Wait and hope that Facebook will allow non-identical duplicate Pages or those not under your control to be merged in the future.
Note: This merge pages tool is currently working erratically. It may or may not show up for you when it should even if the pages are both biz pages and in the same category and have an exact name match. Unfortunately this is a FB problem and I encourage you to contact them about the bug in their merge pages tool. If it is present for you it works well, if it’s not present you may be out of luck

I appreciate you helping me with this. I converted this facebook account/page to a business / organization type page from that of a personal type page.
When I log in to my company facebook account to administer it, it brings me to a facebook ads campaign page. It shows a list of ads we once used, however we deleted the ads account.
If I want to create a NEW FB app by following: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/appsonfacebook/tutorial/ and I click this http://developers.facebook.com/apps instead of asking me for Developer Access - it is redirecting me to a campaigns page. How can I fix this, and or why is this happening?
I deleted my facebook ads account so I am not sure why this is still showing. I would like to just go to the main FB page and edit as any other page.
Thank You
'Business' accounts can't create apps - you need to do this from a real, regular, verified profile - then link the new app to the advertising account via the app settings (advertising accounts under Advanced)
