Foursquare is a location-sharing service that is accessed through mobile devices. Users of the service can check in at locations such as restaurants, cafes, bars, museums and other destinations in order to share their location with friends or share tips about the destination. Depending on the type of Facebook Fan Page you operate, there are two different ways you can link Foursquare with your Facebook Page. Business who operate Facebook Pages will want to link the Foursquare business listing to their page using the PlaceWidget. Public figures who operate a Facebook Page will want to stream their Foursquare check-ins to the wall using Twitter.

Click the radio button beside your business listing in the search results displayed directly below the "Find" text box. This will enable the widget to display your Foursquare business listing in a separate tab on your Facebook Page.
Click the "Choose Your Page" drop-down menu and select the Facebook Page associated with your business.
Click "Save Settings" once the widget is configured with your business.
