WooCommerce and Instagram
Much like my post about connecting Shopify and Instagram, WooCommerce is the online shopping cart for stores that have WordPress websites. So if you already have a WordPress website, you’re more than halfway there @ getting your online shopping cart up and running.
Connect Instagram & Facebook
The best thing you can do, is connect WooCommerce to Instagram, which is done so via Facebook. This is how you get the Tag Products function within Instgram. It’s actually much quicker and easier to do this in WooCommerce than it is in Shopify. You just connect Facebook and you’re done.
In your WordPress admin, head to WooCommerce > Settings:
Click the Integration tab:
I’ve already connected our WooCommerce to Facebook, but you’ll see the Facebook section and you’ll be taken straight to your Facebook login:
Same as with Shopify though, you’ll still need to open the Instagram app on your phone and head to Settings > Business > Shopping to ‘request’ the ability to Tag Products:
And same as with Shopify, even before you get ‘approved’ to Tag Products on Instagram, you now have your own Shop tab so people can shop straight from your Facebook page:
