Live shopping events can be hosted by shops in which they can live stream and display the products that customers can purchase directly via Facebook or Instagram stream.

Instagram checkout is an important feature of this new update. It permits different brands to complete their transactions via the app itself. Due to the pandemic, the transaction fees for both purchasers and suppliers will be ignored by the end of the year.

In the U.S, Facebook Shops are being tested. Soon the feature would be globally available as well. Facebook working on e-commerce business is proof that the social media platform is dedicated to making shopping a business venture via its platform.
