Instagram has partnered with around more than 20 brands, including Adidas, Kylie Cosmetics and Warby Parker, for the US closed beta launch of an in-app shopping tool. “Checkout with Instagram” replaces the “View on Website” button. It allows purchases to be made without leaving the site. Once users' payment details have been inputted, they are securely stored, further streamlining the buying process. Checkout buttons will only feature in organic posts from participating brands, and will appear on their feed posts, Stories and Explore content. Sellers will eventually be charged an as yet undisclosed fee.
