Here's how to create a shop on Instagram for those of you who sell
Gadgetren – Instagram is one of the most popular social networks in the world, with more than 1 billion users. This is possible thanks to its attractive and easy-to-use functions.
In addition to functions for videos and photos, Instagram has officially implemented its latest feature called Instagram Shopping or Toko. In other words, you can easily buy or sell through the platform that is now under the auspices of Facebook.
Even the Instagram shopping button is in the same position as the notification button. It appears that Instagram has conducted research showing that the notification button was previously the most hit by its application users.
I myself pressed the Instagram shopping button incorrectly because it was in the area that was previously occupied by the notification button. In the meantime, Instagram’s notification button has officially been moved to the top right, right next to the direct message button.
It could be said that the presence of the Instagram shopping button is a breath of fresh air for those of you who normally shop or sell on Instagram. This feature enables Instagram users to browse sales items grouped on a page.
In addition, Instagram Shopping’s user interface looks neat, simple, and structured. When you select an item for sale on the page, you can see the price as well as a button to go to the official sales page.
Well, for those of you who may already be selling on Instagram and want to take advantage of the store’s features, here’s how to do it.
