The social media platform Twitter has started testing Stores in order to keep up with the times and not lag behind its competitors. Thanks to the Twitter Shops feature, we can open e-shops or shop from these shops. The company is currently testing Twitter Stores only for iOS Beta users living in the US. It is unclear for now when the feature will be fully available for use. However, it is expected to be available soon.
The social media giant first tested the application, which offers the same functionality as Product and Place Collections in 2015. However, due to the fact that e-commerce was not at the forefront at that time, it could not continue the application. Since e-commerce is very popular at the moment, it is thought to continue the application. So how does Twitter Shop work and how to use it? Let’s take a look at the details of the news together.
Twitter Shops are free for now!
A blog post shared by Twitter provided a lot of information about Twitter Stores. In this post, he announced that it is free to use for now. However, he also stated that users can add a collection that reaches the limit of only 50 for now.
In the statement of the platform, the application that has been tried in the past is necessary and the users are already discussing this issue among themselves. . With this statement, it is expected that the test phase feature of the platform will be used quite often by users.
How Twitter Shops Work
First of all, it is necessary to remember that Twitter’s e-commerce feature is still in the testing phase. So only iPhone user accounts who have updated the app and live in the USA can do the feature.
After logging into the account of a user who opened an e-shop on Twitter, there will be a “View store” option above the tweets. By clicking here you will be able to browse through the products and buy the product you want.
