Meta is currently ramping up its social commerce strategy and integrating shopping links directly into content on Facebook and Instagram. The focus is primarily on Reels, which are increasingly becoming the main sales platform within the apps. New features are designed to make it easier for users to discover products without leaving the platform.
One of the most significant new features: clickable product links directly in Reels and posts. Up to 30 products can be tagged in a single video, making traditional workarounds like “link in bio” less relevant. The products appear directly within the content and are immediately clickable.
This integration is increasingly turning Instagram and Facebook into full-fledged e-commerce platforms. Collaborations with partners such as Amazon, eBay, and Temu have already launched in select markets and are set to expand further.
In addition to the new link features, Meta is increasingly relying on artificial intelligence. In the future, users will receive product information, reviews, and recommendations directly within the app. At the same time, there is also criticism, as feeds could appear increasingly commercial and content may be more heavily influenced by sales interests.
