Good to Know
Platform restrictions outside any integration tool's control
Instagram Shopping directs buyers to your online store for checkout. Orders are captured by your ecommerce platform, not by Meta. There are no Instagram-native orders to sync back.
Instagram content creation, scheduling, and publishing are handled through Instagram or Meta Business Suite. Nventory manages the product catalog, not social content.
Instagram's creator marketplace and branded content tools operate outside the Catalog API. Commission rates, partnerships, and content approvals are managed within Instagram.
Instagram comments and direct messages are managed within the Instagram app. Nventory does not read or respond to customer interactions on Instagram.
Things to Consider
Platform-specific details and how they affect this integration.
Instagram requires Commerce account approval, a connected Facebook Page, and compliance with Commerce Policies before products appear in Shopping.
Nventory pre-populates your Meta Catalog so products are ready the moment Instagram Shopping is approved. No delay between approval and having a live catalog.
