I have a client that is adding an online store to their website and now they want to add to their Facebook. Is there an app that will pull their products from their store and show on a tab on Facebook?
What is the best way to do this?

@socialbflysd I had to do something similar for one of my clients, Well Pets Clinics (http://www.facebook.com/wellpetsclinics). I used WooBox to develop the custom app that loads the online store header page within Facebook. Once the image is clicked, a new window/tab opens to the Online Store webpage. Hope this helps!
Also, I should add, I wanted to approach this way to have a new tab so the visitor did not completely redirect away from the facebook page.

Hi @alexandrabriggs – welcome back from your vacation! Hope it was great!
I checked out the store on the page and it wasn’t loading for me in Chrome or in Firefox: http://www.facebook.com/WellPetsEconomyClinics/app_216924904991602 Is it my computer?
There isn’t something that will put the products in automatically, @socialbflysd that I know of. You can do something with iframes but I’m not much of a coder so I don’t know how that would work with a bunch of products. Sometimes if you already have all your shopping cart and stuff on your website, I think it makes more sense to just have pictures and then link it to the place on your site. I like the way Threadless does their store app: http://www.facebook.com/threadless/app_116832620224

@socialbflysd I have been using http://easysocialshop.com It’s an easy and very simple application and it’s free, I use it integrating my eBay store, but it works for ebay, amazon and e-stores. You can check how it looks like on my FB pagehttps://www.facebook.com/TeocalliCo/app_196248510415671

@andrea-vahl The store actually loads when you click on the banner that comes up in the iFrame. I did it this way since pulling in the page was causing issues with sizing. In your opinion would it be better to load the full page and then have it go to the online store when clicked (opening in a new tab)?

Thanks guys.. .looks like the easiest way is to do the IFRAME thing and maybe an app through Shortstack that I use to highlight a few products at different times of the year.
Thank you all for your input!

I do think the banner only is confusing, @alexandrabriggs – I just assumed I wasn’t seeing something below it. I didn’t even try clicking on it. So I think even if you did a larger picture with a “Click here to shop” with maybe some pics of the items, that would be better.
I know it’s hard to pull the whole thing easily into the small Facebook page and I don’t think it’s necessary to duplicate and have a whole different store on Facebook as well your own website. Some businesses may benefit from that but I think f-commerce still isn’t that critical for most.

@socialbflysd, @hildaalanisgonzalez‘s suggestion is incredible. In addition, http://www.ecwid.com/facebook-app.html is also good one if you like!
