Problems & Solutions

Make Store Site Appealing

Pictures play a vital role in attracting visitors when surfing an online shop. Let's imagine that a customer has visited a store for the first time and sees uninviting photos. They will tend to leave quickly. Therefore, many admins try to find a way to perfect the appearance of the site. However, how to make the store attractive and professional is not an easy task. 

With the support of Instagram Feed, online Magento merchants can color sites by adding stunning photos from Instagram easily. Shoppers will be impressed at the first visit, and stores will get more new customers.

Make Your Store More Interactive

As a statistic of CNN in June 2018, Instagram has 1 billion active users monthly. In 2016, Instagram launched Stories, and it has attracted a vast number of users around the world. With the popularity of Instagram, it would be a great mistake for any E-commerce store which could not optimize this amazing social media.

For that reason, the Instagram Feed extension is introduced to store owners. Once Instagram Feed is installed, it allows admins to integrate Instagram photos into stores. That makes sites interactional and reaches potential shoppers.

Build Great Trust In Customers

Many online merchants face a problem: when they show numbers of viewers or any statistics, it seems to be untrustworthy. Also, it is said that a picture is worth a thousand words, so why not include photos?

With the integration of Instagram, the site now could place great trust in shoppers by showing actual likes and comments on each photo. As a result, customers will keep surfing the site, and stores could encourage customers to purchase.

Highlight Features

Insert Instagram Photos To Your Store

Instagram Feed extension designed by Mageplaza lets admins insert Instagram photos not only into any pages such as Homepage but also into any places on-site based on tactical goals easily. Admins can choose colorful images and create an Instagram Widget as well. This attribute supports the store to appeal to customers.

Categorize Photos 

Admins can now create a special category for images appearing on site. Instagram Feed allows stores owners to assort attractive Instagram photos depending on attributes which are: 

• The most recent photos
• The most liked photos
• The most commented photos
• Random selection

This feature is one of the most noticeable. Photos from Instagram are well filtered and shown on-site in an extremely clever way.

Provide Diverse Photo Layouts

In addition to sorting out photos, Instagram Feed lets admins choose designs to suit owners’ needs. Admins can freely opt for layouts that are well-matched with the page magnitudes, with the construct of pages and other blocks. There are three major selections as following:

• Single Row: This layout is more suitable for a small space. Photos will be shown in only one row.
• Multiple Rows: Admin can post/show photos in two, three, or many rows depending on specific purposes. This feature is really helpful for stores that have wide space (for admin like to focus on image attraction)
• Perfected photos: This design is applied when photos are in different sizes, and admins would like to create a flexible layout.

Show The Numbers Of Likes & Comments

It is common knowledge that shoppers will prefer photos that show likes and comments to photos that do not. With the support of the Instagram Feed module, the actual number of likes and comments are displayed on each photo. That proves interaction with social media to customers.

Instagram Pop-up

Pop-up helps better customer experience effectively. When customers would like to look closer to an Instagram photo on-site, they only need to click on it, and the photo will appear speedily. That makes the online site more professional and grabs users’ attention effectively. Moreover, from the backend, store owners can choose this feature easily with a one-click option.
