What's going wrong
Merchants using different Shopify ad and sync apps report that their Meta or Pinterest ad accounts were restricted, disabled, or permanently banned after they connected the app, ran a campaign style the app suggested, or synced a large product catalog. Some accounts were blocked again after funding or reinstalling, and one report says a Facebook shop and Instagram shopping were also disconnected. The reporters are small sellers who depend on these channels for sales, and several say support did not respond or that they could not tell which step caused the ban. The opportunity is a checker that scores connections, syncs, and generated creatives against platform rules before they go live, and warns merchants with clear fixes.
