Top 50 Facebook Stores, Top 20 Facebook Store Solutions
Categories: F-commerce
Want to know who’s doing what, and with which technology partner in the fabulous world of f-commerce?
Then look no further.
Here are the top (most liked) 50 e-commerce enabled Facebook pages and the store solutions they are using – as captured by f-commerce consultant Steven Hall, from 150 hours of sleuthing with his research team (and then a little editing from us, adding in some omissions).
All in all, it’s very a mixed bag that compares apples with pears in the Facebook world of social commerce. Some of these f-stores are basically no more than glorified banner ads linking to product pages on external websites – whilst others are fully fledged stores that handle transactions within the Facebook environment.
But the list is still a useful reference resource – since browsing through it you’ll get an clear idea of what is currently being deployed in terms of f-commerce today.
Of course, it’d be nice to list the f-stores by sales – but the world is currently not that nice, and we have no access to that data – so the list is ranked by page ‘likes’.

* By number of page “likes” (E&OE) – list expanded beyond top 50 as updates are received
A word of warning. Do take these lists as an indicative snapshot of the f-commerce market, not an accurate representation of it – number of likes is unlikey to be a good proxy for store sales, and there are certainly many omissions (we’ve added some - let us know what we’ve missed/got wrong).
But kudos to Steve for putting the original list together – his PDF can be downloaded here (no embedded links alas or data on page/store popularity – but we’ve added these for you in the list below).
Again, let us know of any popular e-commerce enabled pages that should appear in the list, any errors, or missing data (marked with a ?).
Given these caveats – the list of f-commerce software providers below is probably more useful than the list of stores themselves – which are in a state of, to put it politely, flux (Facebook is making big changes to how f-stores are implemented (no tabs, just app menu, iFrames not FBML – new dimensions etc), so many stores look a mess right now: This evening the much vaunted ASOS store is the wrong size and squeezing down the sidebar… Normality should be restored soon.
But for now, this list does give an interesting overview of the early movers and shakers in f-commerce, a feel for what’s possible, and insight into the sectors that are trailblazing with this nascent technology (music, sport, TV and film…).
Great article again.. but what happened to ASOS ? What do you mean by wrong size and squeezing down the sidebar? It didn’t preform all that well?
O is there any insight of what the ROI of those stores is? Cuase that would make it even more intresting. Lady is on top of the list but the ROI could be less than lets say Old Spice….
Just got a call from Freestart PLC offering me an online F store for £99 + vat per annum. Is this the right move? Any advice would be greatly received.
Good article, interesting list. Now – is anyone actually selling stuff on Facebook? From my humble vantage point, there is a lot of shiny object chasing, I haven’t seen anyone share any meaningful sales number on their F-Commerce initiatives.
Alvenda, who provides of f-commerce solutions for companies like 1-800 Flowers, Hallmark, Delta, Land’s End and Best Buy reached a daily sales record in December of $100K sales total for al the stores they manage. That’s less than $3 million total aggregate sales per month across all their clients.
It is fine, as long as brands approach F-Commerce as an experiment – business model that has not been proven yet. Right?
Has anyone experimented with the solutions listed above? I’ve heard some good things about Ecwid recently.
Nice list. FYI, Grey’s Anatomy is a ShopIgniter site. Also, here are a few more that should be added to the list. Again, all powered by ShopIgniter.
Desperate Housewives: 7,051,822
Lost: 6,983,504
Garfield: 2,083,127
Castle: 1,284,348
Cougar Town: 749K
Hi Aimee, thanks for the update – I’ve updated the list accordingly (shop on the Garfield page isn’t showing for us though…)
To answer the question of whether facebook stores are actually working for the businesses using them … shopping on facebook is indeed very new which some recent research from shoppercentric indicating that 6% of people have purchased from a facebook store, this will change markedly over the next 12 months or so. Not least because most people ‘like’ a business page (68% accroding to tresearch by compete.com) to find out about products, promotions and discounts. In our opinion, given so much time is spent on facebook that it is a logical step for people to want to take up thje offers and dicounts available without leaving facebook. This short video includes facts and figures on shopping on facebook as well as some case studies of large and small businesses delivering sales. http://bit.ly/why_open_a_store_on_facebook.

@ Wayne,
I don`t know i a canvasstore produces the same results as a properly done Facebookshop within the merchants own facebookpage…
Just saying…
I’m very keen to know how many of these social commerce companies will make it through the next 3 years. How they adapt to Facebook’s Graph API is a critical key to success.
I dont understand how vendorshop makes their profit? Are they purely trying to build clientelle with their core product being free, and then eventually try to monetize by adding additional features they can charge for? Does anyone have some insight on this?
TabJuice will pwn all these stores!
Thanks i was looking for that ….
Ausome !! I wonder… Are all of you as addicted to facebook as I am?…
What?s Happening i’m new to this, I stumbled upon this I’ve discovered It positively helpful and it has aided me out loads. I’m hoping to contribute & aid different customers like its helped me. Good job.

Hi,
One question – which one will let you put items into your cart and let you keep these till you go to check out? Most of these dont! No item is actually yours and someone can still buy it while it is in your shopping cart. I work in the preloved business and sell mostly one-offs which are all listed at a particular time each week. This means that it is a feeding frenzy and every customer is going for the same items (which I dont have multiples off). So, how dissapointingis is it that when you reach check out you realise that someone else has bought half your cart? Help!!
Just wish to say your article is as astounding. The clearness in your publish is simply spectacular and that i could assume you’re an expert in this subject. Fine with your permission allow me to seize your feed to stay up to date with impending post. Thank you a million and please continue the rewarding work.
Time for a ’round 2′ to this post. Where is the market now?
