Ready to shop on Instagram? SocialBlast

Depending on where you live, your favorite stores may still be closed, but that doesn't mean you can't go shopping. On July 17, 2020, Instagram officially launched a new shopping feature in Explore , which allows users to scroll through relevant brands and product listings.

Here's what you need to know about this store update:

Facebook Pay: a new payment method via Facebook will soon be integrated into the process.

No more need to register your banking details for each new purchase. A “ Facebook Pay” payment option will be integrated into Instagram Shop to allow users to make purchases directly within the application. What Instagram presents as an easy and secure payment method.

The default Shop feed works similarly to the Explore feed, where users are presented with relevant items.

Only, in the Shop section, all posts include relevant items for sale. This means that creating relevant articles with featured products is more important than ever!

And that's just the beginning.

Instagram plans to make its store a new tab in the main navigation bar later this year, as the company wants to make E-commerce an important part of the platform.

Preparing to welcome more TikTok users

It's no secret that TikTok is in a tough spot. The app was recently banned in India, and rumors continue to swirl that the United States and Australia could follow suit. In response, Instagram is quickly expanding the availability of its rival, Reel s.
Reels (part of the Instagram app) will be available in the United States Reel early August.

TikTok marketing skills sharp – soon you may have more chances to use them elsewhere.
