FAQ
What else do dealers ask?
- Can I sell from a personal Instagram account?
- No. Instagram Shopping needs an Instagram Business account connected to a Facebook Page. You can switch to a Business account in the Instagram app.
- Do customers pay on Instagram?
- No. Each tagged piece links to the piece on your KANDINSKY website, where the customer pays.
- What happens when a piece sells?
- It's marked sold in KANDINSKY and your Instagram catalogue updates, so the piece isn't offered twice.
