The creator account should also be backed up by a follower base. The number of followers is not specified by Instagram. Creators will also be able to represent a tagged product, which will be linked to its official website. Hereby official website we mean to say the website of the business on which they claim the ownership and sell products.
Like all other social media platforms, Instagram has been working to give a better experience to its users. The Facebook-owned social network has been working for a shopping corner for a long time. In 2016, Instagram introduced shopping tags. These shopping tags appeared on users' Instagram feed while scrolling. Latter in 2018, they introduced a shopping feature into their stories and explore section. Then in 2019 Instagram update allowed influencers to tag each product in their story. Before this update, celebrities, influencers, and other well-known personalities had to mention details of every product they were carrying. After this update, it became easy for them to mention every product they were wearing in their stories. It could be about a shimmery eye makeup kit or stylish bag.
