Which system user for v2?

I am trying to configure 2.2.0 plugin. As it stands the Ad Account Manager is not connected.

In Facebook Business Settings I have two system users …

Partner Created System User
WooCommerce Extension V2 System User

… your documentation mentions Partner Created System User which if not configured fully but not WooCommerce Extension V2 System User which I assumed was the correct system user and is fully configured.

Is one or both of these relevant and how should they be configured?

Thanks
Ian

Hi there @ianpurves!

Facebook for WooCommerce 2.0 came with some updated functionality and one of the changes introduced was the adding the creation of a system user in the setup process that the plugin relies on for tracking Pixel events more accurately (server side).

System users represent servers or software that make API calls to assets owned or managed by a Business Manager. There is more information here on what these system users do. Another resource that you may find useful can be found here.

After updating/installing the plugin above version 2.0, all merchants are required to go through a new setup process. In one of the steps, the user is created. The plugin creates the Partner Created System User and relies on that system user for all the information mentioned above. This is the system user that Facebook recommends to use. The other user called WooCommerce Extension V2 – Business Manager is also created but it should just be left as it is.

I hope that cleared things up. Come back if you have questions.

Cheers!

It’s been quite some time since your last post, so I’d suggest removing the old WooCommerce Integration and then try a new connection with the latest version of the plugin.

Next Steps

FIRST PART:
- Navigate to https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=business_tools&ref=settings and then look for WooCommerce Integration.
- Please click in and a popup window will appear, please scroll down and click Remove, and then confirm by clicking Remove again.

It will finally get removed completely so you can make a new integration:

SECOND PART:
- Please deactivate the plugin and then delete it
- Then install the latest version of the plugin
- And then access your phpMyAdmin, we’re going to manually remove the database left over that’s not yet removed after the deletion.
- Please make sure that you create a full database backup before performing this step.
- Click on wp_options table and then search for wc_facebook_, once found, please select them and delete them.
Below is the screencast of the process:

THIRD PART:
- Once the above steps are done. Please install Facebook for WooCommerce again, and activate it.
- Navigate to Marketing > Facebook, click Get Started.
- During the process of reconnecting back to Facebook, please make sure to unselect Instagram shopping, as from my experience, it will trigger an error “Something went wrong”, resulting in an unsuccessful setup, especially when you don’t have an eligible Instagram account for Instagram Shop, or outside the United States:

Please do the above steps, and let me know how it goes.
