Request user to post on their facebook wall

Question

I have a merchandising web site that allows user to buy stuff on my web site. I want to integrate this feature with facebook and enable users to allow my site to post on their wall a message showing that they have purchased an item from my web site.

How should I got about doing this. Do I need to create a facebook app to do this? Basically, I just want to enable users to accept my request to post a custom message on their walls.

Answer 1

You will have to implement the Facebook Connect in your site so that users are able to login and you need this to publish stream to their walls.

• See this tutorial on how to implement facebook connect

Before you publish streams to their wall, you will have to ask them for publish_steam and offline_access extended permissions.

• See this tutorial on how to get permissions

To actually post streams to their wall, have a look at stream.publish method.
