The latest best practices for Instagram Shopping
Step 1: Prepare your shop for sales
The first step to setting up a successful shop on Instagram is to manage your product catalog. Your catalog contains all of the information that powers your shop and Product Detail Pages on Instagram.
Add items to your catalog so people can shop them
Make sure your catalog holds all necessary product info about the items you wish to promote or sell on Instagram:
- use one catalog (merge several into one, and use only one catalog across Instagram and Facebook if you have a shop on both)
- make sure it has the most up-to-date products, inventory counts, and pricing
- fill in all catalog fields, like product name, description, and category
Add product details, images and videos
Descriptions, photos, videos and attributes help shoppers decide whether to purchase your products. Make sure your products include snappy descriptions, at least 4 high resolutions images or videos, at least 3 attributes like color, size or materials, and accurate shipping information.
Step 2: Make your products easy to discover
Product tags allow you to highlight items from your product catalog directly into your videos and posts, so people can tap on a tag and immediately learn more. By tagging your products, they will be eligible to show up in shopping surfaces that people go to when they are in the mood to shop.
The most successful businesses use tags frequently in different formats.

Product Tagging drives Sales! Businesses who leverage product tagging see 37% more sales, on average, than businesses that did not tag products in their feed posts.*

Step 3: Get more people to consider and buy your products
Help more shoppers understand if your products are right for them with relevant, actionable content and messages.
