Introduction Guide

Get an overview of the Facebook Ads Scaling Shopify app, who can use it, and how it can help scale your Shopify store more profitably.


Facebook Ads Scaling is a Shopify app that helps merchants scale their stores more profitably with laser-targeted lookalike audiences.

The app's automatic lookalike audience creation enables you to launch a campaign with up to 200 lookalike audiences that are interested in your products.

Who can use Facebook Ads Scaling?

Facebook Ads Scaling is for Shopify merchants who:

  • Had at least 100 orders in the last 30 days
  • Rely on Facebook and Instagram ads to promote products and get sales
  • Want to scale their online sales more profitably.

Using Facebook Ads Scaling

Facebook Ads Scaling enables you to target qualified prospects that are similar to your:

  • Customers
  • Shopify store traffic
  • Facebook page fans
  • Instagram profile audience.

These similar audiences are called lookalike audiences.

A lookalike audience uses an existing Custom Audience you select for its source audience. To create a lookalike audience, our system leverages information such as demographics, interests, and behaviors from your source audience to find new people who share similar qualities. When you use a lookalike audience, your ad is delivered to that audience of people who are similar to (or "look like") your existing customers. Source: Facebook Business.

Here are the features that make this possible:

  • Lookalike Audiences Templates
  • Lookalike Audience Builder
  • Simple Scaling
  • Bulk Scaling
  • Lookalike Audiences
  • 20% Country Reach.
