Run an existing shoppable post as an ad with product tags
Ads with product tags allow people to get more information about the tagged product on Instagram and make it easier to start shopping. Shoppers can make purchases from your business’s website or purchase directly in-app (for businesses that use checkout on Instagram).
Advertisers can run existing shoppable posts as ads with product tags in Ads Manager and from Instagram. When you run an existing shoppable post as an ad, the ad creative will feature the product tags from the organic post.
Before you begin
- You must be approved and set up for Instagram Shops before you can tag products in your posts.
- Choose an existing shopping post to run as your ad creative or create an organic shopping post in the Instagram app by tagging products from your catalog.
