While surfing through Instagram, when you like a product you see, the hassle of shifting to a new webpage is taken away, with one tap, catalog will be available both on Facebook and Instagram, where you can directly add the product of your choice to the cart.

WHAT’S SPECIAL ABOUT THE NEW SHOP FEATURE?
