To enable users to share with Facebook, a metadata field must be checked which adds a button to the form filling step.
Facebook Developer Account ID
A Facebook Developer Account is required to use the Facebook integration. A Facebook Developer Account is a special type of Facebook Account that allows for the creation of Facebook Apps.
Linking Storefront to a Facebook App enables Facebook to provide detailed usage information on how the integration is being used.
Acquiring a Facebook Developer Account must be done through Facebook, ROI360 cannot provide Developer Accounts for Facebook.
Form Filling
The Facebook integration supports the following form filling fields:
- SocialMediaTitle - The title of the social media post to appear on Facebook. If not set, this defaults to the product’s name.
- SocialMediaRedirectURL - A URL to redirect the user to when they click on the post in Facebook. If not set, the post links to a full-sized version of the bitmap preview. The URL must begin with https:// to redirect.
- SocialMediaHeight - The height of the artwork in pixels. By default, this is 630 pixels. See Artwork Size below for more details on recommended sizes.
- SocialMediaWidth - The width of the artwork in pixels. By default, this is 1200 pixels. See Artwork Size below for more details on recommended sizes.
Artwork Size
Facebook is different from most other social networks in that it prefers 1.9:1 ratio for wide social media images.
The recomended size for bitmap previews is 1200 pixels by 630 pixels, which is the integration’s default value, going down to a minimum is 600 by 315 pixels. Bitmap previews that do not match the SocialMediaHeight and SocialMediaWidth values will not display correctly in Facebook.
