How different it is from other sites:

For information, Facebook, this new service is quite different from other companies. In this service, customers can talk directly to the shopkeeper, but this facility is not provided to customers on other sites like Flipkart-Amazon. Through shop service, the business can sell its own product to its own shop, but in other sites, it is not given this facility. They sales its product to the company and the company carries this product to the customer. On Facebook Shop, you can list any of your items, but on any other site, the company lists the product itself. Facebook will provide its businesses with this facility to list their products for absolutely free. Whereas, other companies like Flipkart-Amazon take a commission on it.
