Instagram is a great way to share your photos and products with potential customers. But how do you link your Instagram account to your Shopify store?
The process is actually quite simple and only takes a few steps:
- Log in to your Shopify admin panel.
- Click on Online Store, then Themes. Find the theme you’re currently using and click Customize.
- In the Theme Settings, look for the Social Media section.
Here, you’ll see an area to enter your Instagram URL.
- Make sure to include the “http://” or “https://” at the beginning of the URL, then click Save. Your changes will go live immediately.
(Optional) Add an Instagram feed to your Shopify store
If you want to take things a step further, you can add an Instagram feed to your Shopify store.
This is a great way to show off your products and encourage customers to follow you on Instagram. There are a few apps that can help you with this, but we recommend using Instafeed. Once you install the app, setting up your feed is easy:
.
-
Log in to your Instafeed account and connect it to your Instagram account.
-
In the Instafeed dashboard, customize the look of your feed and choose which photos you want to display.
-
Once you’re happy with your settings, copy the code provided by Instafeed and paste it into your Shopify theme code.
.
.
There are two ways to do this:.
-If you’re comfortable editing code, you can add the code directly to your theme files. Paste it into the header.liquid file just above the tag..
-If you’re not comfortable editing code, you can use a Shopify app like Code Snippets. This app will let you add code snippets without having to edit any theme files.
either way, make sure to hit Save, and your changes will go live immediately.
That’s it! Now when people visit your Shopify store, they’ll be able to see your Instagram URL and potentially follow you for more great content.
Adding an Instagram feed is a great way to show off your products and give customers another way to connect with you.
By following these simple steps, you can easily link your Instagram account toShopify and take advantage of all that this powerful social media platform has tooffer.
