About Facebook & Instagram Shopping
An Introduction to Facebook & Instagram Shopping
CedCommerce is a listing partner of Facebook Marketplace.
“More than 1 in 3 people on Facebook in the US use Marketplace each month as a convenient destination to discover, buy and sell items.” People can find what they’re looking for by filtering their results by location, category and price.
Along with surfacing your products on Marketplace, you can now connect your shops to Instagram Shopping that helps you to share products through your organic posts and stories; allowing people to discover your products and make the purchases.
NOTE: Given the current economic crisis, Facebook has waived the selling fee until June 30, 2021.
