What are Instagram Shops?
Instagram Shops are customizable shopfronts that allow customers to shop with you directly without leaving the Instagram app.
You can organize your products into themes or collections in your Instagram shopfront, and for each item you include for sale you can create a detailed product page, including a description, price, availability and other essential information. Make use of carousel posts to tag multiple products in one image which then appear in a dedicated shopping feed on your profile.
With over 70% of consumers looking to social media when it comes to shopping inspiration, an Instagram shop is a logical next step for those wanting to build on their Instagram brand and encourage followers to buy with confidence.
There’s also a Live Shopping feature for checkout-enabled businesses where you can advertise products through Instagram Live to establish your brand and build trust with your audience.

How to Set Up Instagram Shopping
If you’d like to know how to set up Instagram shopping or how to add shopping to your page, here are some tips.
First, you must have a business or creator account if you don’t already. Then you’ll need to link a Facebook page, upload your product catalog and submit your account for review to Instagram.
As well as the mechanics of setting up your Instagram Shop, it’s important to give careful consideration to your branding and merchandising. Everything on your profile should look consistent, from the banners to the profile picture, and your product images. Even though each product might be different, you can still present it in a way that fits with your overall style – and using templates can help ensure that everything looks and feels like it’s completely on brand.
