How to sell on Instagram

Use Instagram to find customers, then send them to an online store for catalog, checkout, and order tracking — instead of closing every sale in DMs.

Instagram is discovery. Checkout should not be a long DM. The merchants who scale post content, then send people to a store that can take the order.

Use Instagram for attention

Photos, stories, and comments create demand. They do not keep stock counts or issue receipts. Treat the app as marketing.

Close on a store, not only in DMs

DMs are slow and unsearchable. A storefront lets someone buy at midnight without you typing a price list again.

Connect the two

Vendcite gives you the shoppable destination. Share the link, accept payment, and manage the order when the Instagram visitor becomes a customer.
