    Facebook’s Expansion to Shop Feature on Whatsapp and FB marketplace

    While the pandemic has impacted the offline shopping business, the online shopping purchase has increased over the time. Facebook has more than 300 million monthly Shop visitors & about 1.2 million monthly active Shops. In the coming days, the company will test an artificial intelligence tool called ‘visual search’ that will let users click pictures of an item from its photo-sharing site Instagram and find similar products on Shops.

    The upcoming integration of the Shop feature on Whatsapp will make it easier for users to get products through shops in selected countries that will benefit both users and sellers. To expand its userbase to this shop feature, Facebook will reportedly add ‘Shops’ to the US marketplace too.

    Facebook will also display ratings and reviews on ‘Shops’ in Instagram along with the additional visual discovery tools to help shoppers find new products based on their shopping interests using the Augmented reality that will also allow the users to visualise the products before they buy.

    The new “Visual Search” experience will send shoppers where they are most likely to make a purchase”, supported by their shopping preference. This new search will also assist people in uploading their own photos to find similar products, just like users do on Pinterest and Snapchat. This new visual search feature will be available on both Facebook and Instagram.

    Facebook is also launching a new tool for brands to include AR product catalogues in ads that will automatically show the relevant products for users based on their shopping interests and previous purchases to increase sales and lead generation.
