Instagram has introduced its Checkout on Instagram program, which allows for in-app purchases of beauty products. "When you tap to view a product from a brand’s shopping post, you’ll see a 'Checkout on Instagram' button on the product page," the company explains, "Tap it to select from various options such as size or color, then you’ll proceed to payment without leaving Instagram."
