How to use the Store function on Instagram | Social networks

Instagram's shopping function allows brands to make business accounts on the social network to advertise products and sell them within the platform. You can access the sale items on Instagram from the "Store" option on the Explore tab, available on the app's iPhone (iOS) and Android app. The advertisements provide link to the payment site and information such as color, size and price.
