Meta Integration Guide
Enable the Reserve button on Facebook and Instagram for your venues, allowing diners to book directly from their social media profiles.
- Meta requires the venue's Facebook Page and Instagram Business Profile to be linked.
- The Meta installation flow cannot be tested in sandbox — it can only be verified in a live environment.
Choose Your Setup Method
Mozrest offers two ways to enable the Reserve button. Choose the one that best fits your product flow.
Option A — Mozrest Install Link
Embed a Mozrest-generated link in your app. Venues click it to enable booking buttons on Facebook and Instagram directly from your interface. Recommended for most integrations.
Option B — Single Sign-On (SSO)
Venues initiate the setup from Facebook or Instagram and authenticate via your app. Mozrest identifies the venue without storing personal data.
Option A: Mozrest Install Link
Mozrest provides a pre-built installation link (fbInstallLink) when you create a new venue or fetch an existing venue. Embed this link in your interface to let venues self-serve the setup.
You can also track installation status by filtering venues with filters[fbInstalled] and filters[igInstalled] — see Get Available Venues.

Option B: Single Sign-On (SSO)
This flow lets venues start the Reserve button setup directly from Facebook or Instagram, authenticating through your app.
Implementation steps
- Your SSO page receives an
mz_callbackquery parameter from Mozrest. - Display your login page so the venue user can authenticate.
- After authentication, redirect to the
mz_callbackURL with avenueIDparameter. - Mozrest verifies the venue and completes the Meta onboarding.
Once your SSO page is ready, share its URL with Mozrest for configuration.
The venue must already exist in Mozrest for this flow to work.
