To install a Facebook store application, visit its website and follow the installation instructions provided. The process varies by application, but you usually need to click an installation or sign-up button to get started. With ShopTab, for example, you click the Choose Plan button for the plan you want (see Figure 7).

Click the Allow button to give your permission to install the app. From here, you're prompted to attach your new store to a Facebook page and set up the store. Again, the setup steps vary by application.
To return to your store after installation, click the Edit Page button in the upper-right corner of your page, and then select the Apps tab on the left side of the page. Figure 9 shows the Added Apps page; in this figure, my Shopping Mall by Payvment app displays at the bottom of the page.
