To help small businesses, Facebook is waiving fees for businesses selling with Checkout on Shops through June 2021. Facebook, as previously disclosed, continues not to collect any fees for paid online events until August 2021 at the earliest. The new Good Ideas Deserve To Be Found initiative includes a new Instagram sticker and a new #DeserveToBeFound hashtag on Facebook. As Facebook says, “These investments build on the free tools and resources we introduced last year, like Facebook Shops and Facebook Business Suite, small business grant programs and virtual training to help small businesses navigate the pandemic. We will continue to make sure small businesses have a voice to reach customers, and make sure their good ideas are found.”
