By default, the Smash Balloon will display a random feed.

From here, you can use the Grid, Carousel, Masonry, or Highlight option. The live feed preview will automatically be updated according to your chosen option.

After that, tap the section of the post where you want to add the product tag.

Step 1: Submit Your WooCommerce Store for Instagram Review

Next, simply add products to your catalog and then submit the store for review to Instagram.

You have now successfully set up an Instagram Shopping store.

Even though Instagram Shopping can increase your revenue, it is super hard to set up and get your store approved.

This allows you to create a shop front for your online store on the Instagram platform and directly promote your products on social media to increase sales.

Upon selecting your account, Smash Balloon will open the Instagram feed in the live feed editor.

Once you do that, just type the product’s URL from your WooCommerce store into the ‘Product Link’ field and click the ‘Add’ button.

Once you’ve done that, just click the ‘Next’ button to move forward.

Once you are there, enter the Smash Balloon license key for the plugin into the field and click the ‘Activate’ button.

From here, copy the shortcode next to the Instagram feed that you created.

This way, visitors will easily be able to view your Instagram product reels, posts, and videos without needing to visit your Instagram account. They can also buy products directly from your online store.

Upon activation, you need to head over to the Instagram Feed » Settings page from the WordPress admin sidebar.

Moreover, Instagram still hasn’t introduced the Instagram Shopping feature in some countries. This means that even if you meet the requirements, you may not be able to sell products on Instagram simply because the feature isn’t available in your region.

Even though Instagram Shopping can help increase your sales, it’s not easy to set up. This is because to set up an Instagram Shopping store, you must first meet Instagram’s requirements.

After that, click the ‘Next’ button to continue.

Another easier way to sell products on Instagram is to display your shoppable Instagram feed on your WordPress website.

Smash Balloon will now show an ‘Add’ button next to all of the product posts on your Instagram Feed.

For example, upon choosing the ‘highlight’ option, you can pick the element that will be used to highlight different posts, including a pattern, post ID, or hashtag.

This means that users browsing on your Instagram account will be able to see a ‘View Products’ icon on your posts.

Now that you have set up your Instagram shop, you can easily add a post for your products by clicking on the ‘Share Photos’ button.
