4. Can I specify the product variation photo and price showing in Page Shop?

When you upload the products with variation to Facebook Page, Facebook will randomly grab one of the product variation photos and price, currently, custom product variation is not supported.

 

5. Why does the product price show $0 in Page Shop?

Facebook will grab the product's regular price and sale price to show in Page Shop. If your product does not set a regular price, but only a sale price, Facebook will grab $0 in Page Shop. If you would like to adjust, please go to your product setting and update the regular price. Once the product catalog is updated, Facebook will show the correct pricing.
