As a business owner, you know that social media is a powerful tool to reach new customers. And what better way to show off your products than through Instagram? You may be wondering, can I connect my Wix store to Instagram?
The answer is yes! Wix makes it easy to connect your online store to your Instagram account. When you connect your store to Instagram, you can start sharing your products with your followers and driving traffic to your website.
Exciting update! We've collaborated with Wix to offer WBI users with a free plan for all website creation needs - Explore the details here.
Plus, you can use Instagram Shopping to tag products in your posts and stories, making it even easier for customers to find and buy what they see. Ready to get started? Here’s how to connect your Wix store to Instagram.
First, you’ll need to create a business account on Instagram. If you don’t already have one, you can sign up for free.
Once you have a business account, you’ll need to link it to your Facebook Page. This is how customers will be able to find your products on Instagram.
To link your accounts, go to your profile settings in the Instagram app and tap “Switch to Business Profile.” From there, select the Facebook Page that you want to connect to your business account. If you don’t have a Facebook Page for your business, you can create one for free.
Once you have a business account on Instagram, you can start tagging products in your posts and stories. To do this, simply upload a photo or video of one of your products.
Then, tap “Tag Products” and select the product you want to tag from your Wix store. Customers will be able to tap on the product tag and be taken directly to that product page on your website.
You can also use Instagram Shopping tags in Stories. Stories are short videos or photos that disappear after 24 hours. To use Shopping in Stories, simply create a new story and tap “Tag Products.” Then, select the product you want to feature and tap “Add Product Tag.”
When customers see tagged products in your stories, they can swipe up to learn more about the product and even buy it right from their phone. This is a great way to drive traffic to your website and make sales directly from Instagram.
