Meta Platforms Inc. signed a deal with Amazon Inc. so users can shop on the e-commerce site via Facebook and Instagram. This means that people do not have to leave social media platforms to buy something from Amazon because they can just do it directly without moving to another app.
As per CNBC, Meta does not want users to step out of Facebook or Instagram when they suddenly want to shop on Amazon. To prevent them from leaving, the tech company led by Mark Zuckerberg teamed up with the popular e-commerce firm.
New Shopping Feature on Meta’s Social Media Brands
The company launched a new function that will allow Facebook and Instagram users to link their accounts to Amazon. Once connected, people can easily and more conveniently purchase anything by simply clicking on the promotions that will show up on their feeds.
Through its collaboration with Amazon, it will also be easier for Meta Platforms to allow merchants to sell merchandise on its Facebook and IG. The selling will be simpler too because sellers do not have to set up separate storefronts to start the trade since Amazon is already linked.
“For the first time, customers will be able to shop Amazon’s Facebook and Instagram ads and check out with Amazon without leaving the social media apps,” the spokesperson for Amazon said in a statement. “Customers in the U.S. will see real-time pricing, Prime eligibility, delivery estimates, and product details on select Amazon product ads on Facebook and Instagram as part of the new experience.”
Giving E-Commerce Business a Boost
Meanwhile, Bloomberg reported that this new deal also presented an unmatched tie-up between Amazon and Meta. This is because the two companies may also compete better with TikTok which has its marketplace within the app. Lastly, the partners may also challenge Shein and Temu who are currently leading the e-commerce marketplace sector.
