      <title>Instagram will allow users to shop directly in chat</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/30293046/instagram-will-allow-users-to-shop-directly-in-chat</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Instagram is getting a payment feature that will allow users to buy from small businesses through direct messages, parent company Meta Platforms Inc said on Monday.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Users of the photo-sharing app need to message the business, add customizations if required and place the order in the chat, Meta said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They will also be able to track the order and ask the business any follow-up questions in that same chat thread.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The feature furthers Meta’s push to expand its e-commerce offerings.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Earlier in 2020, the social media giant launched Shops as a way for people to find and buy products on Facebook and Instagram.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Instagram’s new feature will also allow the use of Meta’s payment service Meta Pay to complete purchases, the company said.&lt;/p&gt;
