How do I set up Instagram/facebook shopping?
There are two ways...
OPTION 1) Do it yourself
Unfortunately Instagram's shopping platform is a royal pain in the bum to set up. For a start, you never know which platform you're using... due to Facebook purchasing Instagram and then rebranding themselves to Meta, you spend half your time on a platform labelled "Meta", then 40% of your time on the Facebook platform, just to do something that you ultimately want to involve your Instagram account.
The instructions and guides that Facebook/Instagram/Meta (or whatever you want to call them) are consistently out of date, hard to understand, hard to follow, contradictory, and generally frustrating.
Couple that with their support (if you dare message them) being about as much use as a chocolate tea pot is an overall frustrating experience.
So, yes, please feel free to set it up. All you would need from our end is your special URL to your Insta/FB/meta product feed which is available from your website manager.
Alternatively, we have a solution where we do it all for you...
OPTION 2) We'll do it for you
We are honestly not exagerating the above. Give us a call and ask to speak to anyone in the team who has been involved in setting up Instagram shopping feeds and listen to the sigh in their voice; it's hard work.
The GOOD NEWS is two fold...
a) It's genuinely worth it!! Setting up your Instagram shopping feed and tagging your items in posts drives more visitors to your website and turns people scrolling through instagram into BUYERS. More sales... win win... it's not rocket science
b) We'll do the heavy lifting for you and make it EASY!
We do charge a small fee for our setup service, but it is honestly worth it and will save you a ton of headaches. Please contact us for details.
