SnapWidget: import my Instagram feed on to my store

Your Instagram account represents your online store window, and it is important to maintain your feed.
You may, if you want, add your Instagram feed directly to your store, using online tools.
SnapWidget is a tool you can use to add your Instagram feed to your shop, and it offers a free plan.

Create your SnapWidget account

Here are the steps to follow :

• Create your account on SnapWidget

Set up your Instagram feed on the Basic plan

To set up your feed, fill in the following information:

• Username: Log on to your Instagram account.
• Description: Add a short description of your account.
• Thumbnail Size: Set your grid’s size in pixels.
• Layout (Columns x Rows): Set the number of photos that you wish to display (columns x lines). The Instagram feed represents a social proof on your store, it should not have too important a place on your website. We therefore recommend that the best use to make of your feed would be to add 3 images, or 3 x 1.

• Background Color: You can add a background color to your grid. You will need to indicate the color code.
• Photo Padding: Select the space between each photo in pixels.
• Hoover effect: Select an effect when you hover the mouse over the photos.
  • These are the effects you can choose from:
    • None: no effect
    • Fade in
    • Fade out
    • Zoom in
    • Likes & Comments
    • Caption
• Sharing buttons: Choose whether or not to display sharing buttons when you hover over the photo.
