How to add shopping tags to your Instagram posts
How to tag products in your posts:
  1. Tap and toggle to Post.
  2. Select a photo or video and add a caption, effects and filters. Tap (Android) or Next (iOS).
  3. Tap Tag Products. Tap the products in the photo or video that you want to tag.
  4. Search for the products you want to tag, then select them as they appear in the search box.
  5. Tap (Android) or Done (iOS).
  6. Tap (Android) or Share (iOS).
    Note: When you share a post with product tags on Instagram, you can share the same post to Facebook with product tags. You can do this by toggling on Facebook before posting.
Your tagged products are displayed on the post.
If you're an eligible seller with an active promotional offer tied to the tagged product, the promotion is automatically tagged. The post's call-to-action bar changes to View Offer or View Sale depending on the promotion type that you select in Commerce Manager. You can remove the promotion from the post by tapping the call-to-action bar and then tapping X to remove.
All products are reviewed and approved per Facebook’s Commerce Policies.
Insights from shopping partners are available in Instagram and can be downloaded by the business account until the product or tag is removed. Insights from people that tag products, but are not designated as shopping partners, are not available at this time. If a business removes a shopping partner from their list of accounts approved for product tagging, they can still see insights about the photo or video unless the post is deleted or the product tag is removed.
