Set up Messenger
If you’re like most Shopify merchants, you’re probably already using Facebook to keep in touch with friends and family. But what about staying in touch with your customers?

Configure Messenger
When you first set up Facebook Messenger on your Shopify store, you’ll need to create a new app. Once you have created your app, go to the App Settings page and select Facebook as your messaging platform. You’ll then need to generate a token for Facebook Messenger. Copy the token and set it as your App Secret in the Facebook Messenger Settings page. You can also enable two-factor authentication for your account by adding a code from the Google Authenticator app. Finally, add the shopify_facebook_token environment variable to your Shopify site’s configuration file to ensure that Facebook messages are sent through Shopify instead of Facebook’s servers.
Once you have set up Messenger, you can start using it to communicate with customers. In order to send a message, simply click on the icon in the top left-hand corner of your Shopify site and enter the recipient’s name or email address into the text field.
