Step by Step: Guided by Facebook
Once you click Connect with Facebook you’ll be routed to Facebook to complete the necessary steps, which start with an overview of the permissions you are granting.
From there, you’ll be taken to a menu summarising all of the Facebook solutions you’ll need to have set up in order to secure your Book Now button. It’s possible that you’ll already have some of these set up, but Facebook will guide you through it.
- Set up or connect the appropriate Business Manager account. What is this? It's a centralised place for managing business information on Facebook.
- Connect to the appropriate Facebook page, or set one up to represent your business.
- Select or create the appropriate catalogue. What is this? It's a central place to house all of the information associated with the products or services you are promoting on Facebook. For Booksy, this will be a service catalogue.
- Select or create an Ad Account. What is this? It's an account for hosting all of your advertising campaigns on Facebook. It doesn’t cost money to have a Book Now button, but you do have to have an active Ad Account.
- Choose the appropriate Facebook Pixel or create a new one. What is this? A Pixel accessible via Facebook Business Manager that you can use to track specific actions or results. From the Booksy standpoint, this Pixel will be added to your Booksy profile for tracking availability and the like.
- Confirm all settings are correct. You’re almost done.
Once all steps are complete, you’ll need to give Facebook the appropriate permissions to manage your catalogues and your business extension (i.e. bookings through Booksy). Please refer to Facebook documentation or support if you need further information.
