Hi,
Ecwid Customer Care Team here.
Basically, the answer to your question is yes. You can use Ecwid to display your products on Facebook and keep selling in Woocommerce. That is not a common case, as usually our store owners use Ecwid to sell on a website and on Facebook at the same time. Thus they can manage store settings and keep track of sales and inventory in one Control panel.
Here is how you can use Ecwid to display your products on Facebook now:
1. Create Ecwid store here https://my.ecwid.com
2. Add products to your Ecwid store. To speed up the proccess, use a csv file. You should export products from Woocommerce in a csv file, change the file format to meet the requirements of Ecwid import format and import the products. See instructions here https://help.ecwid.com/customer/portal/articles/1169545
3. Add Ecwid store to Facebook. Once you have added the products to your store, it is easy to do it. Ecwid can be easily added to any website, blog or Facebook. Please, see the instructions on how to add it to Facebook here https://help.ecwid.com/customer/portal/articles/1070942#HowtoaddyourstoretoFacebook
4. Set up your Ecwid store to use it as a catalog. Here is how: https://help.ecwid.com/customer/portal/articles/1178883
5. You can add a note to your Ecwid store explaining that this is just a catalog and an active store is at the other link. For example, add it to the description of the store root category.
6. That’s it! Your catalog in Ecwid is ready.
Let me please also note the following things:
– Since you will use two shopping carts, when you need to add or remove a product, you will have to do it twice: in Woocommerce and in Ecwid. Unfrotunately, they cannot be synchronised. If you need to update many products at once, you can use a csv file.
– When your product catalog in Ecwid is ready, you can try adding the store to your website to see what it will look like. To do that, you should simply add a code, which you can generate here https://help.ecwid.com/customer/portal/articles/1171115-product-browser#GenerateCode after you register your Ecwid store. If you use Ecwid as a store on Facebook and on the website, you will be able to use one Control panel to see orders and manage the store. Thus, you won’t have to add products to two systems, they will be kept in one. Also, your customers will not have to go to another website when they get to your Facebook store to place an order. Our experience says that when customers have to move from one site to another, that decreases the sales. Please, consider this. If you like the way it will work, we can help you move your store to Ecwid.
