Shopping

This Is the Easiest Way to Shop on Instagram

Instagram has a you-can't-shop-here problem. This tool fixes that.

Like to Know It is the best Band-Aid on the you-can’t-shop-Instagram problem right now, and it’s free to join and easy to understand. Bloggers use the platform to create affiliate links for the products they post about, and when a Like to Know It user likes a photo that includes a Like to Know It URL in the caption, the company e-mails shopping details for the tagged items in the photo. Voilà! You’re one step closer to owning those lace-up Aquazzura pumps your fave fashion blogger posted from brunch last weekend.
