What does this mean for users? Well, next time you are posting your favorite ‘fit or make-up look, you can now tag the items in your photo! So that cute dress you recently bought from Reformation? Tag it so others can shop the look too!

With this new feature, it’s now creating way more ways for users to easily shop on Instagram and can majorly help small businesses get even more revenue coming through their door.

If you’re confused about why this feature is going to be rolled out to all users, it’s a pretty simple answer: purchasing in-app will probably increase dramatically with everyone being able to tag where their items are from.

Now creators, before you get worried that your affiliate tool will be taken away, it won’t! You’ll still be able to use your native affiliate tool and get your commission-based payments when someone shops with your link!
