Posting to Instagram

[whimsywhim]

Good afternoon,

I don't see a share link to Instagram.  

Can someone tell me how to share my products on Instagram for self-referrals?  I know that on Benable, you have to get rid of their share link or else it won't be a self-referral.  

Thank you!

@whimsywhim  There is no auto post to instagram from the product page. You have to manually upload your mockup directly to your instagram account and add your link either to the description or as a comment. Links aren't clickable on instagram as far as I'm aware.

Thank you for responding.

Good grief!  If customers can't click on the link on IG, then how do we get the self-referral?

I think you should still be able to get the referral from a link they copy and paste, not just one they click.

You can also put a clickable link to your shop in your bio.

And I haven't tried this yet, but I think you can put clickable links in direct messages, and there are apparently services that will automatically send links to people who comment on your posts.

Thank you!  I really appreciate this info!
