Step 4: Now, you can add as many products as you like and then preview the shop with all items. The other important things in the shop are orders management. You can see all the orders and pending orders in the Shop settings and then do whatever you want.
In this way, you can create Facebook Shop on your Business Page. Just change the banner on the Shop and sell your items with ease.
