On Instagram there is something called a action button.
It is basically a clickable link for sellers to add to their profile that directs users to a outside website where purchases can be made.
This would be really helpful for both the breeders and buyers on here as most of us already browse Instagram on a regular basis.
I dont know if any costs are involved, hopefully someone knows more about the usage of it, but I feel it could be a very useful tool in both bringing new traffic to the Marketplace and for sellers to provide updates.
This would also make a lot of new sellers and buyers feel at ease and also reduce the amount of these kind of posts:
…this would be a way of doing that… without actually doing it. If a Instagram account is directly linked to a MM account, researching someone is as simple as a button click away, as is checking out there stock.
Neat. So this is a way that sellers can add a button on their Instagram profile to direct users to their MorphMarket store?
I don’t know that it helps with those questions really – generally those are made from a person who is already using MorphMarket. But I do think it’s nice clean way for users to advertise their store, much like putting the MM button on their webpage: https://www.morphmarket.com/help/selling-guide/#store-link
If this is proven out then we should add it to the help docs there.
It seems so, as I said I’ve not used it myself, and i only stumble across it while fidgeting with the settings. If you know anyone with a business account on Instagram they might be able to give us some insight into it.
This is what there help page says:
At this time we have a limited number of providers for action buttons. We hope to continue to expand this list over time to cover partners across all countries.
