What is Instagram Shopping?

Instagram Shopping lets businesses create engaging storefronts where users can browse their products. This feature allows businesses to display their products in regular posts and Stories, and it also makes it easier for users to find these products through Search & Explore. For your social media marketing strategy, this can be an excellent tool to help business owners enhance their online presence and drive more traffic to their shops.

How Instagram Shopping Works?

When a user taps on a product tag in a post or a product sticker in a story, they are taken to a product description page. This page shows an image of the product, a description, the price, and a direct link to the business’s website where they can buy the product.

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
This seamless integration makes it easier for potential customers to explore and purchase your products without leaving Instagram. Below are examples of what a shopping post and story look like on Instagram.

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.

For businesses in China, using Instagram Shopping can be a significant advantage. Despite regulatory challenges, Instagram Shopping can help you reach a broader audience and showcase your products effectively. If your Instagram account is not in an eligible market, you might lose the ability to tag products. Your Instagram Business or Creator account must be located in a market where Instagram Shopping is available. If your professional account is in an eligible market and meets the necessary requirements, you can request a review for approval to use Instagram Shopping.

Can I Get Approved for Instagram Shopping in China?

Yes, you can! There have been updates from Meta that have excluded many countries from using Instagram Shopping since last year. However, we have successfully helped numerous business owners, including our own agency account (check our Instagram @mbialbusiness), to regain access. Instagram Shopping in China can be a powerful tool for businesses looking to expand their reach and boost their sales.

  • Seamless Shopping Experience: Customers can browse and purchase products directly from Instagram, providing a smooth shopping experience.
