Instagram begins testing ‘Shops’ feature with select users for online store

After Facebook, Instagram has begun testing the new Shops feature with select users globally to help set up a single online store for customers.

Tapping on the ‘Shops’ tab at the bottom bar in Instagram will take users to existing shopping experience in the app, with a listing of posts that have Shopping Tags added via approved merchants, reports TechCrunch

The Shops tab would replace the current ‘Activity’ tab for those in the test.

Users would be able to access ‘Activity’ via an additional icon in top right.

Facebook in May announced to roll out Shops on its platform.
