Partnerships with Shopify and BigCommerce will make the features accessible for retailers of all sizes.

Instagram&rsquo;s Explore section of the app will house the Shopping feature with its other topic channels that launched Like Art, Beauty, Fashion, Sports and For You that launched in June. TechCrunch notes the Explore algorithm will show shopping-tagged posts from businesses users follow and ones they might like based on who they follow and what shopping content engages them.
