Our team is working around the clock to help local businesses drive orders and serve customers. We’re excited to share new features Instagram is launching to help make it easier for people to support your business during this COVID-19 outbreak. Now, on Instagram, customers can take action to support their favorite local businesses through food orders and gift cards. This will be available to merchants at no additional cost. These features will be gradually rolled out to businesses over the next few days.
This means businesses offering food delivery on delivery.com will be able to add an “Order Now” button on their Instagram profile, which will link to an order for that restaurant on our site.
The Instagram team is also launching interactive Stories stickers that can be used by our restaurant partners to share with their own content. They’ll be able to share links that will be shown as “Gift Cards” and “Food Orders” Stories stickers. Customers can also re-share these stickers in their own Stories to help spread the word.
