How do I start using product galleries?
- You need to be a Business Plan customer.
- You will need to make sure you have added Smart Pins to your pictures. Without Smart Pins linking to products, InstaShop can't build your product galleries.
- You can set up how your product galleries look in the same way as you set up your main gallery, by going to Gallery Settings. We have more details here.
- Good to know - Your product gallery can be a different layout to your standard gallery. e.g. a collage on the front page and a slider on product pages.
