Why do I need to login?

Cornerstore helps you by:

1

Creating new posts

2

Responding to comments and messages

To do these tasks, we need you to tell each platform (Facebook+Instagram, Bluesky, Twitter/X) that you give us permission to do the following on your behalf:

1

Post into your account

2

Read comments and messages on your account, and post replies to them

Platform Differences

Bluesky and Twitter/X

Are fairly straightforward: they just require you to give us permission to view and post to your business' account.

Facebook + Instagram

Are a bit different. Meta now assumes (and requires) that every Instagram account is associated with a Facebook page. All of this is wrapped in your business' portfolio. Cornerstore is only allowed to access business accounts within Instagram; we're not allowed to access personal accounts.

Meta Login Process

To login to Cornerstore, Meta requires you to do the following:

Step 1: Log in with your personal account

Meta then sees what Facebook pages and Instagram accounts you have access to. They now require that every Instagram account is associated with a Facebook page.
