=====================================

If you wanted to sell your products online 5 years ago, it would’ve been quite the hassle. From buying a domain to getting all technical work taken care of by professionals. But as of now, all you need is an Instagram account.

With an [Instagram](https://instasell.io/blog/instagram-posts-shopify) account integrated with a few other tools, you will be able to sell products online. Shopify makes [selling](https://instasell.io/blog/best-products-to-sell) products online easy, they offer a lot of tools to help you market your products and sell them. 

But here’s the catch, Shopify needs a third-party [integration](https://instasell.io/blog/shopify-ebay-integration) for you to actually sell products, and what better option to choose than Instagram? The most used [social media](https://instasell.io/blog/best-d2c-shopping-pages-on-instagram-india-2022-cl0mb8ku188691jqyyshmrhjp) platform. There are several reasons why you should use Shopify with Instagram. For starters, Instagram is the biggest social media platform with a large user base and it also helps in improving customer experience, Instagram by itself offers several tools to increase your [audience](https://instasell.io/blog/shopify-audiences-guide) and customer base. 

But before you can use Instagram and Shopify together, you must first convert your personal account on Instagram into a [business account](https://instasell.io/blog/top-10-profitable-business-ideas-in-india-2022-cl0po40ly302351jqyjs4xcrgf). Here’s how you do it:

1.  Go over to your profile page 
2.  Tap on the “3 lines” menu bar which is located in the top right corner of the screen
3.  Now tap on settings
4.  After that, select the “Account” option
5.  When you go to the account section, you’ll see an option that reads “Switch to Professional Account”, click on it and you now have a business account.

Once you’ve done this, you can go ahead and set up your Instagram Shop, and in the event that this feature is not available in your region, you can become a managed client to get Instagram Shopping features. 

Connecting Shopify With Instagram - [Instafeed](https://instasell.io/blog/instasell-review-best-e-commerce-platform-for-instagram-sellers-cl143ip8206511nnv6d48if5l) app on Shopify
============================================================

Now that you have everything set up, let’s take a look at how you can connect your Instagram and Shopify to boost sales. 

There are two ways through which this can be done:

Method 1 - Adding Instagram Link To Your Shopify Store
------------------------------------------------------

To go ahead with either method, you will first require a Shopify account as well. Shopify offers its users an application “Facebook Channels” which allows you to incorporate your products from your Instagram account. 

*   Head over to Shopify and log in to your account
*   On the left, you will see a navigation bar, scroll down and select the “Online Store” option at the bottom
*   Once you do, you will be shown all the themes you have in your store. Choose the theme you currently are using and then select the “Customize” option
*   On the left side of the screen, you will see the option “Theme Settings”, click on it
*   You will now be shown several [customization](https://instasell.io/blog/shopify-theme-customisation) options such as typography, colors, and many more. Once done, select “[Social Media](https://instasell.io/blog/best-d2c-shopping-pages-on-instagram-india-2022-cl0mb8ku188691jqyyshmrhjp)”
*   Finally, on the left side of the screen, you will notice “Social Accounts” as an option. This is where you add your Instagram link. 
*   Now, head over to your Instagram Page and copy your profile URL and paste it into your Shopify sidebar. 
*   Once you’ve done this, scroll down to see the Instagram Icon, if you see it, you have successfully linked your Instagram to your Shopify store and you can now save the changes made. 

Method 2 - Use A [Plugin](https://instasell.io/blog/tools-for-ecommerce) To Display Your Instagram Feed On Your Shopify Store
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can also use plugins or Instagram Feeds apps from the Shopify Apps store to connect your Instagram and Shopify.

Using plugins is a great way to connect your Shopify store and Instagram. These Feed apps allow you to link products via Instagram [hashtags](https://instasell.io/blog/top-trending-indian-hashtags-for-instagram-2022-cl15dkrxb119271nnvb2zbut9k). In other words, when a user uploads any post whilst using your branded hashtag, that post will be visible on your Instagram Feed store as well. 

To do this, you will first need to go to the Shopify App store and look for the best Instagram Feed apps. We will tell you about the best Instagram Feed Apps later on in the article. 

Here are some basic things you can do with Feed Apps:

*   It offers multiple customization offers for your Instagram page
*   It will help you increase your audience and customer base by linking your Instagram on your website 
*   You can tag multiple products on your Instagram
*   You can even segregate media based on hashtags and accounts. 

### Connecting Instagram Accounts

Follow these steps to connect your Instagram Account:

*   Open the [plugin](https://instasell.io/blog/tools-for-ecommerce)/Feed App
*   Click on “Connect an Instagram Account”
*   Now give permission to the Instagram Feed app to access your profile page for information and other media that you have uploaded

Once you’ve successfully connected your Instagram and Shopify, you can now go about customizing your online store. 

On most of the Plugins/Instagram Feed apps, [feed](https://instasell.io/blog/ecommerce-search-engine) customization mainly refers to 4 categories:

1.  Post Spacing - the space between each image or video
2.  Feed Title - The feed title will help in linking the User Generated Content (UGC) to your feed whenever they use your specific branded hashtag. 
3.  Number of Columns and Rows - refers to the number of UGC posts that are shown in rows or columns
4.  On Post Click - This refers to when a user clicks and selects an image from your Instagram Page. 

### Incorporating Your Instagram Feed Into Your Shopify Page 

*   Open the Shopify editor and select the “add a section” on the left side of the screen
*   Now select “Instagram App”
*   Here’s an important point to remember, after you add your Instagram link, it typically does not open automatically, which is why you must save the changes. 

After you’ve completed all the steps above, you can display the Instagram Icon on your Shopify page and you can even use the drag-and-drop option that many Instagram Feed Apps provide.

How To Connect Shopify with Instagram

[Thrift](https://instasell.io/blog/thrift-shops-india) Shops on [Instagram](https://instasell.io/blog/instagram-ads-guide) [[India](https://instasell.io/blog/top-10-profitable-business-ideas-in-india-2022-cl0po40ly302351jqyjs4xcrgf)](https://instasell.io/blog/11-ways-to-reduce-e-commerce-rtos-in-india-in-2022-cl0jqd49i258131jrrzsa54a9l)
===============================

Shopping from a thrift store seems to be the new trend in town. But what is it? 

A thrift shop, simply put, is a store that sells second-hand household and clothing items. Apart from a business perspective, it is typically done to collect money for charitable reasons. 

Although the trend is pretty new to our generation, thrifting has a long history by itself. During the late 1800s and early 1900s, thrift shops were first set up as goodwill shops; the main idea was to not let anything go to waste. 

Here’s a small excerpt from the book “From Goodwill to Grunge: A History of Secondhand Styles and Alternative Economies” stating the same; “If you had a dress and it got worn out, you’d tear it up and make a pinafore for your daughter, and when that got trashed, you’d tear it up and stuff your chair with it”

As times changed, thrift shops faded away. But now, we can see these stores making a comeback with great collections of clothing and other household items as well.

===============================

Shopping from a thrift store seems to be the new trend in town. But what is it? 

A thrift shop, simply put, is a store that sells second-hand household and clothing items. Apart from a business perspective, it is typically done to collect money for charitable reasons. 

Although the trend is pretty new to our generation, thrifting has a long history by itself. During the late 1800s and early 1900s, thrift shops were first set up as goodwill shops; the main idea was to not let anything go to waste. 

Here’s a small excerpt from the book “From Goodwill to Grunge: A History of Secondhand Styles and Alternative Economies” stating the same; “If you had a dress and it got worn out, you’d tear it up and make a pinafore for your daughter, and when that got trashed, you’d tear it up and stuff your chair with it”

As times changed, thrift shops faded away. But now, we can see these stores making a comeback with great collections of clothing and other household items as well. 

How Thrifting Grew In Popularity?
=================================

It comes as no surprise that thrifting has experienced a huge surge in popularity in a short period of time and let’s not forget the role of social media platforms like Instagram that helped thousands of thrift stores taste popularity & success. 

Thrift stores present sustainable and affordable fashion to everyone. From branded clothes to other household accessories, you can find anything and everything at a reasonable price. This is the main reason why thrifting has become much more popular in recent times.

Based on your final objective and target audience you should choose the best-suited format for your ads.

Here are the different types of ad formats:

*   Stories Ads - Showcase ads on Instagram stories
*   Carousel Ads - lets you upload up to 10 pictures in the same ad post
*   Photo Ads - lets you post one picture
*   Video Ads - Video clips (anywhere between 3 and 60 seconds)
*   Collection Ads - lets viewers buy products directly from Instagram posts

Alternate Method

This method is good too but not as good and specific as the one mentioned above.

This method is basically Instagram’s version of Facebook’s Boost Post. this works on already existing posts. This is a quick way to promote posts on Instagram only. To do this, you will need a professional Instagram account (just go to settings and you’ll find this option) and your account should be linked to your brand's Facebook page as well. 

That’s All Folks!
