Want to sell your merch as well as get your music heard? Use your best tunes in Instagram Reels to compliment new video shopping experiences.

Reels now offer a Shopping feature where you can add Product Tags which are viewable by your audience. Your content with these tags can be found in the Instagram Feed, on your Instagram Profile, through Explore or the Reels tab.

Viewers will see a shopping bag icon which will allow them to take a gander at the products you’ve listed in your video. They can add products to their bag and checkout within Instagram if they’re in the US, or checkout externally if not.
