Facebook Social plugins (with Facebook Like button)

Facebook Social plugins is a Magento extension that allows you to effortlessly integrate your product pages into the social graph with Facebook's Open Graph protocol, providing engaging social experiences for your shoppers.

Why?

Facebook Social plugins create a more personalized web browsing experience, all through Facebook. The Like button, for example, enables your shoppers to make connections to your pages and share product information back to their friends on Facebook with one click. Users can Like a product on your shop to share it with your Facebook friends. The button will also show you which of your friends, if any, have already Liked it.

The Like box allows you to advertise your Facebook page inside your Magento shop and encourage users to 'like' or become a fan of your brand or shop on Facebook. A Like box displayed in the sidebar of your shop builds confidence and trust among your shoppers, lowering the perception of risk in online shopping and increases sales.
