Table of contents:
The Instagram application is constantly receiving news. We recently saw how this popular mobile photography social network added the possibility of sharing your Spotify playlists or songs through a new interface. In addition, the possibility of labeling products with prices and adding a link that directs us to the purchase page was recently added. Now, Instagram is testing the ability to shop directly through the appHow will this new method work?
There is little information about the possibility of buying through the app. But the service is slowly adding this feature as some users have been given the option to add their credit card number to their account. Once the card is added to your account, they have the possibility to make purchases through the application, without the need for external links or web pages. According to The Verge, users can book restaurants or spas within Instagram and with the help of a third-party application.
Book or buy in some companies without leaving the app
A Instagram had no choice but to confirm that it is adding the possibility of making purchases through the application.The company says that we will be able to reserve or buy services from different companies. For now in a limited number. Supposedly, third-party companies will have to make their app and account compatible in order for the user to be able to, for example, book a flight directly from the profile. Or, through the links of .
Without a doubt, it is a very, very interesting option. Currently it is only being seen in a few reservation companies, but it sounds interesting to know that other services can join this method, such as clothing stores, accessories, technology, etc. We don't know if we will be able to buy through a publication, profile, or the company that wants to join this method will have to create a new account with the possibility of making purchasesInstagram confirmed last year that this feature would start coming soon, but it seems it wasn't until May that they started rolling out.
