Is there a step by step tutorial to help you create a Facebook Fan page that looks like the recent examples given by FAA?

Actually its very simple! Go behind the scenes to Facebook applications and follow the instructions.Do exactly what it asks you to do! First enable your Facebook personal account and then enable the Facebook for fan pages.

Jessica,
Yes, when you click on settings you can click on the link to create a page, but how do you get it to look like this one?

Thank you Jessica. I finally figured out how to create the fan page. I followed your instructions. Still not working but I believe it is an FAA problem as when I click on "on" for the fan page, it sends me to a blank page and nothing happens.
9 Years Ago
Maria, I didn't realize you didn't have a fan page! You create it on Facebook not here. I assumed you were asking about the FAA shopping cart on Facebook pages. That's what you were showing on your links. Don't bother with the app right now
Just fill in all the information the page is asking for. profile pic, etc.

Thank you Jessica. Yes, I was not very clear. But I now feel am getting closer to getting this in place.

Per the announcement page:
In order to use the FAA Shopping Cart, you have to have a Facebook Fan Page. If you do not already have a fan page, click on the following link to create one before attempting to activate the FAA Shopping Cart:
Create a Facebook Fan Page https://www.facebook.com/pages/create.php#!/pages/create.php
sorry cant get the link to go hot, have to copy and paste

When I click on my Facebook Fan page which I have enabled and followed all the steps given to enable the FAA shopping cart, I get only this number and nothing of the shopping cart. What can I do to fix this?
8 Years Ago
Thank you Pamela, yes, I realized I needed a fan page but did not know how to do it, now it is done and FAA working on it
Cynthia, I followed the FAA instructions and it finally worked. You may want to go back and do all the steps again. In your fan page, make sure you have "shop" as one of your links which you will find under "more."
Thank you all for your help.

Dear Artistes,
I have a Facebook personal page and a Facebook artist page: https://www.facebook.com/FrankStrasserFineArtist. I thought the fb page at this link was a fan page. That's what I intended ti to be. But when I log onto my FAA backend it says I don't have a Facebook fan page.
I have 1700 followers on my fine art page, so I'd rather not have to create a new page unless I have to? Is there some way to reconfigure the Artist page I have already created and linked above so that it is a fan page? Or do I have to start from scratch?
I'm confused and any assistance will be profoundly appreciated. Thanks i advance.

Frank, I am certainly not an expert, but from looking into this today, I think if you go to Behind the Scenes, and then go to Default Setting, make sure you have both options for Facebook checked -- Facebook wall and Facebook fan page.

Frank
Please log into FAA and disable both FAA apps
Then, remove the app from your Facebook Pages
FACEBOOK PROFILE
Go to your main homepage and see APPS on the left menu.
Delete the FINE ART AMERICA APP
FACEBOOK PAGE
On your FACEBOOK page, go to EDIT PAGE
On the edit page see the tab for APPS
Delete the FINE ART AMERICA APP
YOUR SITE HERE
Then, Make sure you are logged into Facebook as you, not as your page, and come back to your BEHIND THE SCENES | Facebook Application and enable the application again, Middle one (FB personal profile) and then the right one (FB page) If it does not popup, use a different browser and make sure your popup blocker is not enabled, or any ad blockers

I set up the app on my page and thought I had posts turned off on my personal page. But an "ad" type announcement just posted on my personal page about how you can now buy ann powell art etc. etc. I do not want to spam my friends and family with my business stuff so I hope this is not going to keep showing up.....FB drives me crazy. I have gotten where I do not use my page much because it is constantly doing something I do not intend.
8 Years Ago
When I followed the link to the example pages, I couldn't make anything work. On two pages I coildn't see anything but posts. On the third, I could see art works and a cart button, but I couldn't look in the cart or, appareny, put snything in it. Is this me?
8 Years Ago
Carol, go behind the scenes in Marketing you'll see Facebook applications. That's where you enable the apps
Ann, did you check your default setting to uncheck the Facebook boxes?
8 Years Ago
Can someone please clarify, I already have the "shop" app installed since i opened by Facebook page a few years ago, ,,,and the new "shop now" feature offered by Facebook. Do i need to start over and reinstall the new app to get the benefit of what changes have been implemented?

Judy, when you click on the images in the Facebook App do you stay on your Facebook fan page?
If you do, then I presume you're fine.
8 Years Ago
Kathleen, only FAA not AW
Judy, delete the app from your Facebook page and then come back here and enable it again

Hi Jessica! I want to do both - for a new image and when I go in and edit an existing one.
I just went into my "Behind the scenes" and under "Social media applications" and the "facebook for personal accounts" is enabled as well as the "facebook for fan pages" is "On".
Is there another setting to activate?
8 Years Ago
Sandra,
I am having the same thing happen to me, if I go in and edit an existing painting, it appears on my main FB page but nowhere on my Fanbook page. I am not sure what I have to do to get it to post to my fanbook page but I have tried everything that I can see. Perhaps someone else has suggestions to help. All are enabled.

The faa app on my facebook fan page appears on the left and a few scrolls down.
Only when l click on it does a shop tab open along the tab-bar at the top. ls there
a way the SHOP tab can be displayed on the tab-bar permanently at all?

The fb store is a search page and, like all search pages, takes up to 24 hours to update
Patience little one.....
8 Years Ago
Jack you can move up your shop so it is seen on the bar at the top. on that bar, click on "more" and then manage tabs. then you can drag the shop up.
Sandra, go behind the scenes to default settings and check the boxes for Facebook there.

I attempted to activate a Facebook fan page. I created the Fan page but it does not show the layout w/shopping cart unless someone clicks an app tab in the left column of my Fan page. I am very limited in time to mess around with it. Do I need to delete and start over? Frustrated to say the least! Thank you for any replies and information. Have a great day!
8 Years Ago
Michael, no, you do it need to delete and star over. Yes, you have to click on the FAA app on the left to open the next page where your pictures are with the shopping cart. But you can change the looks of the App on the front page to bring attention to it. I followed Jessica's instructions and all is working fine. You may want to read all her posts above. When I began a few days ago I did not even know how to create a fan page in Facebook. Now is working fine. I do understand your frustration! You will get there.

Jessica, they are checked off as outlined above. I just added a new image of FAA yesterday and the day before and checked the box at the bottom of my image and it still does not show on my Facebook Fan Page as a post. Is anyone else having this same issue?
On the FAA App page it says it is enabled - below I pasted what it shows:

(Taking a break before family dining, i am the cook!) YES, I am having the exact issue. Hope someone can clarify for me.

Jessica, I also went into my Fan Book Page under SETTINGS, GENERAL, POSTING ABILITY, and selected ALLOW OTHER PEOPLE TO POST TO MY PAGE TIMELINE - ALLOW PHOTOS AND VIDEO POSTS and it still won't work. Just thought I would add this in.
8 Years Ago
Sandra that has nothing to do do with posting your FAA work to Facebook. That just means you allow other people to post on your Facebook page.
Sandra, I don't allow my posts to be automatically added to my Facebook page.I prefer to choose what I post and do it manually.
8 Years Ago
Jessica, it was a thought ....
Still unresolved about having FAA automatically adding when we click on the checkmark, which would give us some control as to what to post or not to post.

My new upload and/or my edits post to Facebook but not to Fan page. All boxes are ticked and chosen, still no posts to fanpage. Any suggestions?

Hi, I do not understand how to activate a fan page. I ran the personnel app and it works. But, that's it. When I return to FAA to activate the fan page, it states I do not have a fan page and the app button no longer shows. I do not see anything on the Facebook Applications in Behind the Scenes that will allow me to change settings. And, there is nothing on the personal facebook page either.
8 Years Ago
Celeste, are you sure you have a Facebook Fan Page? You must have a personal Facebook page, from it, in Facebook, you create your Facebook Fan Page. There is no Behind the Scenes in Facebook. Only in FAA. Once you have created your Fan Page in Facebook, then you can go to Behind the Scenes in FAA.

.....Let me try this one more time, I have had a Facebook fan pages for several years with the faa shop tab enable and working! The announcement made by faa about the New APP,,
"
The new app is a huge... huge... huge improvement over the previous design. What's new? 1. The app now includes our entire product line, including: canvas prints, framed prints, metal prints, acrylic prints, greeting cards, phone cases, throw pillows, and duvet covers! 2. The app works in multiple currencies, including: US Dollars, Canadian Dollars, British Pounds, Euros, Australian Dollars, and Japanese Yen. 3. The app's search engine allows buyers to search through your images based on keywords, titles, colors, sizes, orientation, galleries, and more! 4. The app is 100% "responsive" """""" etc etc etc''
My question is ,,,,,to get the benefits of the NEW app... is it necessary to delete the old one and reinstall,,,,,,,or does the old one take on the benefits of the new one ??
8 Years Ago
Thanks .Wish Sean would specify in the announcements ,,,I am sure many others have the same question,!
8 Years Ago
Thanks. I finally have my fan page displaying my images.
How does a Facebook viewer like or favorite an individual image? Or do they still need to log into FAA in order to like an image? I can see where they like my site; but, is there a like for each image?

Is there a way to add a large block of pictures to the fanpage without spamming the personal FB page? I created my fanpage with my 10 newest photos, but I still have 80 earlier ones that I'd like to have there too. Unfortunately, those have all been posted to my personal page before, and I'd like to avoid duplicating all of it. And I'm really hoping I don't have to add one at a time, but I won't be surprised either.
Thanks to Abbie for the Pagemodo link. It looks awesome so I'm going to explore that as soon as I get this other question under control.
