When i am setting up my shop on meta, it is showing that "Shops is no longer available in your region". Does anyone know why Meta restricts the Shops feature in certain regions? Additionally, what are the possible solutions or alternatives to move forward with setting up my shop?
My area is Dubai, United Arab Emitates
I would guess it just has to do with taxes and/or laws in your region that Facebook's legal/accounting/business divisions do not want to involve themselves with right now for one reason or another. I don't believe there is a way around it, unless you were to connect to Facebook using a proxy server and spoof your location. However, that would definitely be against Facebook's terms of service, and I would not do it for a shop, because you're likely to not end up receiving any payments. Why not set up something such as Shopify instead? What type of shop are you looking to set up?
