Facebook Application Questions/feedback

A few general comments/questions on the Facebook Applications:

* The Facebook auto-posts appear to go to personal timelines, while the store application goes into a business page. Is it not possible for the Facebook auto-post application to post to the business page timeline instead? My personal Facebook page and my art prints business page are currently somewhat discrete.

* I must authorize the personal page setup before enabling the business page Store add-in, but can I then disable the personal page auto-posts, and have the store add-in keep functioning?

* For those who self-host at a custom domain with the FAA store widget, would be nice to possibly have the option of reconfiguring the visible URL and the actual link of the Facebook auto-post ads to link to a self-hosted page with the store widget, although linking directly to an image within the widget is an issue, since it's an iframe. Either this, or to the Facebook business page store instead of to the artistwebsites.com site. I probably just need to manually post on my business page...

Any tips on how others are handling these things? Thanks...

Yes I'm having trouble with adding any facebook app, personal and business.

Hi, That is how mine works too...widget is where I wanted it on the page and I only sometimes allow the auto post which goes to my personal page...if I do I just share it to the other page. At one time I though it might depend on where you are logged in on FB,, ,but I am not really sure if this is true...for some things it is...I don't know about this case. I've left it like it is because sometimes messing with stuff makes it worse.

Mostly I just manually post stuff and use a link to the AW or my personal domain. The rest I am not really sure what you are trying to do.

Heres my link to FB page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Val-Arie-Art-and-Photography/583265315058426?ref=br_rs

I never use that...because of how the URL reads but use FB link buttons instead.

 

Kind of weird that the links in the Facebook shop app link to fineartamerica.com, rather than the artistwebsites.com site. This makes it more feasible that an interested party might wonder off, seeing someone else's art that they might buy instead.

Thats why you post links and market to your AW site. Don't use the apps. Simple enough to just copy and paste the link when you upload. Thats why you have an AW site.
