Facebook Online Shops
These shops are helpful to just anyone who wants to get their business to the top. Follow the steps to get your online shop, as you also get to know how it works.

- On the new menu, select “page”.
- You would be redirected to a new page where you would be asked to choose the kind of page you want to create. Choose the type of page you want to create and give your page a name. I highly suggest you use the name you intend to use for your online store for this page.
Finish the page setup by following the on-screen instructions. After completing your page setup, you can now proceed to set up your own Facebook online store.

To create a Facebook page, you also need a Facebook account. This is to help you manage the page effectively. For time’s sake, I would not list out the process to open a Facebook account here.
A Facebook account can easily be opened from any of the Facebook apps or the Facebook official site at www.facebook.com. After creating a Facebook account, you can follow the steps below.
