Shopping on Instagram – Tag your Best Products to increase sales

If you’re a brand or business with a physical product, you definitely don’t want to miss out on the opportunity to introduce your products on Instagram to users! This is where Instagram Shopping comes in.

You can make the organic posts shoppable by tagging a product on Instagram, in the same fashion as tagging a person in a photo. Let’s have a look at how it works.

How to Create a Shoppable Instagram Feed! 

Instagram Shopping is now allowing us to tag products in our Instagram posts, where users actually click on the post and redirect to the website where they can actually buy the product. It’s not yet available in UAE directly.

When someone taps a product tag on your post or a product sticker in your story, they’ll be taken to a product description page where they will see:

• An image of the product from your post
• A description of the product
• How much the product cost
• A link that takes them directly to your website, where they can purchase the product

Here are some of our examples of what a shopping post and story look like on Instagram

If your Instagram business account is not available in the market, you may lose the ability to tag products. Below is the list. If your Instagram business account is listed below and follows the below requirements, you can be reviewed and approved for shopping ads.
