How to link to your Facebook Page from your Website
If the link to your Facebook page from your website is asking visitors to "login" to Facebook - you may need to update the settings of your Facebook Page to "Public"

There are a few reasons why Facebook won't link with a website:
Firstly, you must link with a business Facebook Page rather than a Personal Profile page. A business Facebook Page is different from your normal personal Facebook page and is designed to represent a business or organization.
In order for the linking process to work your page must be visible to the public.
Test if your Facebook Page is public by copying the web address of your Facebook Page and log out of Facebook (or open a new, incognito browser window where you are lot logged in to Facebook).
Now paste the web address into the address bar of your browser. If you can view your Facebook page while logged out of Facebook this means your page is Public. If you cannot view it - you should check the privacy Settings of your Facebook page.
To Make sure your Facebook page can be viewed ass "Public"
Having no restrictions on your Facebook account is the best option.
Here's what you need to do:
-Once you have logged in to Facebook, and are viewing your Facebook page admin, click Settings (or the gear/cog wheel icon) from the top left menu area and from there click "Privacy" and also the "Public Posts" sections and make updates to make sure your page is "public"
-Under the "General" settings, you'll see "Age Restrictions" and "Country Restrictions".
-Click edit on these items to view and remove any restrictions you may have.
If your account has any restrictions on it your Facebook page may not be able to be viewed unless the user is logged into their Facebook account and meets the restrictions.
To allow your Facebook page to be viewed and displayed on your ShinePages website there cannot be any location settings associated with your business's page. Make sure that your Facebook page does not have a location set or is connected to any groups that have a defined location.
It is recommended that you have a custom Facebook Username setup for your page. This makes the URL nice and short too! Check out Facebook's guide on how to create a custom Facebook Username
