When I post one of my products on Facebook and add a link to my website, Facebook changes the url. For example, the link I post is https://brassbox.co.uk/pocket-mirror/
Facebook then seems to alter this url. It still takes you to the correct page, but the url in the address bar looks like this:
https://brassbox.co.uk/pocket-mirror/?fbclid=IwAR0op_0gcqMT36xvvlfEA7bXmvj3PG8glYbmD_PBcu3sAm0udGSyJ...
When you click on the link that facebook sends out, there is an issue with PayPal. It won't work. It's obviously due to this additional part in the URL. We've tested it by going directly to the page and bypassing facebook.
Is there any way to address this issue? It basically means that everything I'm advertising on facebook, people can't buy using the link if they're using PayPal to pay.
