1. What is Instagram Shopping?

Instagram Shopping is a feature that allows businesses to create an immersive storefront for users to explore their products. With Instagram Shopping, businesses can showcase their products in organic posts and Stories, as well as enable product discovery in Search & Explore.

When a user taps on a product tag in a post or a product sticker in a story, they are directed to a product description page. This page includes an image of the product, a description, pricing information, and a direct link to the business’s website where the product can be purchased.
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 costs
  • A link that takes them directly to your website, where they can purchase the product
Below are examples of what a shopping post and story look like on Instagram.

2. Shopping on Instagram Availability:

Shopping on Instagram is available in many countries, including the United States, Canada, Brazil, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Australia, and more. However, availability can vary based on local regulations and policies. It’s best to check Instagram’s official website or app for the most up-to-date information on availability in specific regions.

If your Instagram account is not in an available market, you may lose the ability to tag products. Currently, your Instagram Business or Creator account must be in a market where Instagram Shopping is available.
If your professional account is in a market that is listed as eligible and meets the necessary requirements, you can request a review for approval to use Instagram Shopping.

4. Can I get approved for Shopping in Nigeria?

Yes, you can! There’s a new update from Meta that took place since last year, excluding many countries from using Instagram Shopping. However, we’ve successfully helped numerous business owners, including our own agency account (check our Instagram @mbialbusiness), to regain access.
