Here are a few things that users should know about Instagram In-App Checkout.

• The feature is available on shopping posts from brands on the social media platform.

• This allows customers to purchase items through Instagram by clicking on these posts.

• Doing so will allow the customers to customize their order.

• This can include choosing different sizes, colors or other details about the item being bought.

• Once this is done, customers simply have to checkout from within Instagram.

• This will require them to submit their name, email, billing information and shipping address.

• However, customers only have to do this for their first order.

• Instagram will save this information to make it easier for customers to make purchases through its service in the future.

• It’s also worth noting that the Instagram In-App Checkout will send shipping and tracking notifications to customers through the app.

• The Instagram In-App Checkout feature is still in its closed beta and only available in the U.S.

• It also only works with a few brands right now, which makes sense since it just launched today.

• Some of these brands include Nike (NYSE:NKE), Adidas (OTCMKTS:ADDYY), Capri Holdings’ (NYSE:CPRI) Michael Kors, H&M and more.
