When you set up your shop, it will appear on your Facebook and Instagram accounts to start and soon on Messenger and WhatsApp too. Shops are native and fast, which means no more app-switching to a slow mobile web browser where you have to reenter your credit card when you tap on an interesting product you see in feeds.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>They’re also working with partners like <strong>Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, Channel Advisor, CedCommerce, Cafe24, Tienda Nube and Feedonomics<\/strong> so that small businesses can easily integrate into a strong, open ecosystem of tools to help them manage their customer journey end-to-end, and it’s up to the business to decide what level of integration they want.<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3789 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/icaninfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/facebook-and-instagram-1024x585.png\" alt=\"facebook and instagram and whats app shops \" width=\"1024\" height=\"585\" srcset=\"https:\/\/icaninfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/facebook-and-instagram-1024x585.png 1024w, https:\/\/icaninfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/facebook-and-instagram-300x171.png 300w, https:\/\/icaninfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/facebook-and-instagram-768x438.png 768w, https:\/\/icaninfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/facebook-and-instagram-1536x877.png 1536w, https:\/\/icaninfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/facebook-and-instagram-535x305.png 535w, https:\/\/icaninfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/facebook-and-instagram.png 1834w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/p><p>On top of that, They are building a bunch of features across their apps to help people discover things from small businesses that they might want to buy. They are building a dedicated shopping tab on Instagram and a destination inside Explore where you can find and buy products you might be interested in. Soon, they will also be launching new <strong>Live shopping features across Facebook and Instagram<\/strong>, which will allow you to shop on Live in real-time.<\/p><p>Lastly, in the near future Shops will use <strong>Facebook AI and augmented reality tech<\/strong> to create better shopping experiences. We’ll automatically identify and tag products in feeds so people can easily click-through to purchase when they find things they like. Small businesses will also be able to personalize their storefronts to first show products that are most relevant to you and use augmented reality to let you virtually try on things like <strong>sunglasses, lipstick or makeup<\/strong> to see how they might look on you before buying, or what furniture might look like in your room.[sc name=”letsconnect”]<\/p><p>This all adds up to something quite powerful. If you’re running a small business or you’re thinking of starting one \u2013 even from your living room \u2013 you now have a whole suite of tools available that can help you serve people. You can build out your online presence across Facebook and Instagram. You can use <strong>Messenger and WhatsApp to communicate<\/strong> with your customers. You can reach new customers through facebook and instagram ads. And now, you can also set up a full online store experience with <strong>Facebook Shops<\/strong>. All of these tools are open for business, even when your physical storefront can’t be. Hopefully this helps relieve some of the pressure that small businesses are facing right now and helps them prepare for a more online future. They look forward to getting Shops into the world more widely.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Source: Facebook<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mark Zuckerberg just announced that we’re launching Facebook Shops today \u2013 the basic idea is that any small business can easily start a shop to sell things directly across our apps.
