WEBSITE FACEBOOK INTEGRATION
If you are hosting a website and a domain name in DistributorCentral, you can enable a preference to allow your customers to “Like” and “Share” the products on their Facebook walls.
Enable this new Facebook Integration section in website preferences.
Under this there are three preferences that are related to each other.
The main preference turns the Facebook “Like” button off and on in the catalog. The other two are supporting information for the Like button.
To enable this preference:
- Go to Websites Menu> Add/Edit Websites
- Edit your website
- Click on Website Preferences
- Click on Facebook Integration
- Select “Yes” under “Show the Facebook Like button on your product pages?“
- Then enter your Facebook user ID in the second box. Click on the “Find your FB user ID here” link to get the ID number.
- Save your changes
- Publish your website.

When the “Like” button is enabled it shows up on each product page.
When the “Like” button is clicked it creates a fan page inside your Facebook account. This will enable distributors to start collecting information about popular products, plus market to the people who like them.
The Send button allows customers to send a private message with a link to the web page.
