As Instagram is doing their part to support local businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic, they’ve added some new features.
In the latest update to the app, business accounts are now able to add stickers and buttons which enable users to order food and buy gift cards.
One feature will allow shoppers to purchase gift cards to help retailers that need funds during these times. The second feature is a sticker that can be added to stories and to profiles that will allow users to order food without even having to click off the Instagram app.
According to the platform, they’ve been made with the intention of supporting small businesses as they revealed: “Small businesses are an important part of our community, and many are facing immense challenges during the COVID-19 crisis.
“Today, we’re making it easier to discover gift cards, online food orders, and fundraisers on Instagram so you can support the businesses you love.”
