Instagram Introduces New Call-to-Action Stickers for Delivery & Gift Cards

 

Instagram is releasing an innovative tool for businesses that can be utilized for promoting food delivery as well as gift card purchases. This new feature will work in the Stories section.

Following the COVID-19 epidemic, businesses and general public around the world are experiencing a plethora of economic issues. The company has released this new feature to assist small businesses during the financial and health crises. With the help of this new feature, business and people would be able to find their food order options, gift cards, as well as fundraisers on Instagram. This will help the small restaurants and other businesses to market their essential services and products to their targeted customers. It may help them to enhance their disturbed sales and revenue with the help of online users.

The newly launched stickers are located in the sticker tray that can be quickly used by pressing on the square smiley button on the upper-right corner of Instagram’s interface.

Once you chose either the ‘food orders’ or ‘gift cards’ sticker, you will be asked to select from one of Instagram’s chosen partners. Bear in mind that the food delivery transactions and Gift card purchases will all be provided by the third parties.

Here is a list of supported partners with the Instagram new Gift card and food delivery features:

  1. Seamless
  2. Postmates
  3. Uber Eats
  4. Delivery.com
  5. Caviar
  6. Raise
  7. Square
  8. DoorDash
  9. ChowNow
  10. GrubHub
  11. Yiftee
  12. Kabbage

When you select one of these available partners, you can create a direct link on your order page. This will boost your sales and web traffic.

Keep in mind that you only need to set up this all for the first time, and once this all is settled up, you would not need to do this all again each time while accessing the feature. After that, you would be able to choose the sticker right away, and Instagram will save your preferences for the future. You can edit the Links at any time according to your requirements. In case you want to advertise your Uber Eats link above DoorDash, for just instance, you would be able to do so effortlessly.

Bear in mind that you can only use one food order sticker per story. Brands can’t add multiple links to the various food delivery services in a single story. However, you can post alternate stories with diverse delivery supplier. I mean, there is no restriction for posting new or different links in your everyday stories.

The Novel Instagram Profile Buttons

Besides the new story stickers, Instagram is also providing business a feature to install buttons on their profile for the food delivery orders and gift card purchases. It functions similarly to the Story stickers feature; however, it offers better convenience customers. They can easily click the buttons to make a purchase.

These Profile buttons can be easily installed by obeying the steps mentioned down here:

  1. Navigate to your Instagram profile page.
  2. Then head to Edit Profile.
  3. Inside the “Public Business Information” option, press on Action Buttons.
  4. Inside the “Select a Button section,” go to Gift Cards.
  5. After that, choose a partner to put your gift cards for sale.
  6. In case you have not configured the gift cards with a partner, you can easily set them up by following the instructions on the particular partner’s official site.
  7. Once that done, Add your partner link for your gift card service that you have chosen.
  8. When you provide the website, hit Done.

Keep in mind that you need an Instagram creator or business account for using the new profile button and Stories sticker options.
