SHOPLINE's "Instagram Social Post Selling" feature allows merchants to use the "Keywords comment + quantity" function on Instagram posts!

After the customer leaves a comment on the post, the system detects the keywords set up by the merchants and sends the shopping cart link via direct messages, allowing the customer to complete checkout directly. 

⚠️ Note: This article covers part 3 of the "Instagram Social Post Selling". If you are setting it up for the first time, please refer to Instagram Social Post Selling (1/3) and Instagram Social Post Selling (2/3).

The article will cover the following:

 

1. Enable Instagram Social Post Selling

Click the Enable button at the top right of the page.

*Please double-check:

  1. The status of the linked Instagram post is published.
  2. The content of the Instagram post contains the description of product keywords. This ensures that customers can view and place an order successfully.

  • The copied post will show at the top of the Social Post Selling list.
  • When you copy a Social Post Selling event, the system will only copy the name, product, keyword, order placement rules, comment, message setup, and scheduled time of the Social Post Selling event. The Instagram link will not be included, so you will need to reconnect to the Instagram post.
