(Mobile App) How to tag products on Instagram
You can now tag products on Instagram photos, videos and multi-photo posts through Publer.
Instagram product tagging is a feature that allows users to buy products directly on Instagram without ever leaving the platform. Brands can tag the products in an image so when people click on the tag, they can find additional information about the product such as the price and product description.
Product tags are vital for branding, sales tracking, and customer navigation. They use labels to describe product details, enhance the shopping experience and boost marketing efforts.
Click the plus icon on Publer and select the desired Instagram account.
Upload or chose an image/video from the media library.
Once the image/video is there, click on the the upper-right side of the image on the little tag icon.
Next click on the Tag people or products button:
Select Tag products.
On the photo/video, click anywhere to start tagging a product.
You can always remove a tag by clicking on the x button on the right-side of the photo/video.
Once you have added all your tags, you can click on Save and proceed with publishing the post.
Due to Instagram API limitations, you can only tag up to 20 products per post and up to 5 per carousel slide.
For product tagging, approved businesses must have an Instagram shop.
If a product is missing from the list, you have to sync the account's info.
Tagging products requires a qualified public account, active for 30 days and with no more than 2 policy violations.
Apart from products, you can also tag accounts on your Instagram posts. To learn about how you can do that, go here.
