Store Powered by Magento

According to the “United States Securities and Exchange Commission,” Mark Zuckerberg’s salary is just one dollar a year! However, we are sure that it isn’t a problem for the co-founder of the world’s largest social networking platform, whose net worth is more than $55 billion.

This post is not about Facebook, but to tell you how your business can get more success with the integration of Magento and Facebook.

Today, Facebook has more than 2.45 billion users worldwide and has proved to be one of today’s best social platforms for selling and growing a business. This is why marketers have started to take notice of this social networking behemoth!

According to Global Digital Statshot, by the end of 2018 Facebook reached more than 2 billion people through ads and there are more than 80 million businesses on it.

Looking at these stats we can safely conclude that Facebook is easily one of the best platforms to reach more customers. And to make the most out of Facebook, you should consider integrating your Magento store with Facebook.

Magento 2 and Facebook integration

Magento 1 did not have any free out-of-the-box extension. Therefore, you cannot integrate Magento-driven stores seamlessly with Facebook. Further, for every paid option, you will need to get your own team of experienced people to search the marketplace. The same dedicated team will also have to help you in carrying out the integration. Not only would it prove time-consuming, but expensive as well.
On the other hand, Magento 2 will offer you a lot of options. Magento 2 will provide you many inventive as well as new extensions. The shop integration on Facebook for Magento 2 will facilitate the sellers to advertise and promote their product in a much better and efficient way. The new solutions that come with Magento 2 will let the sellers handle their products smoothly and let them promote their products as sponsored products as well.

Magento Social
