I’m working on something new to help e-commerce owners like you grow. Can you take 5 minutes to fill out a quick Google form? It’s anonymous, and your input will make a difference. It will help us a lot, you have to answer just a few questions. As a thank-you, you’ll get instant access to a valuable free course: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSclNxtJbAvq0ufSdvwI...

Ps: it's not an advertisement even the video isn't mine.

Yeah you are right I'll look at it. Thanks for sharing this twitter's feature I didn't know about that.
Well, I know about metapay, Instagram shopping, and Tiktok shop, but these are not available in India and many other countries. I just wanted to help small businesses to make their online presence and drive sales. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Hey HN, I'm building a payment solution that lets customers buy directly from social media without leaving platforms like Instagram, Facebook, etc. So why do we all need this? There are millions of small and medium businesses and brands that can't establish an online presence, and most of them regularly use social media to post about their products.

I want to help these businesses. Instagram and Facebook have shopping features, but only for a few brands, and they are not available in many regions like India. India has the world's second most active social media users and millions of businesses trying to acquire customers using social media. I want users and buyers to be able to shop directly from posts without leaving the app. I want my payment model on these platforms to create more convenience for customers and reduce business costs.

So, if someone who has worked at Facebook, Instagram, or any other company has valuable advice for me, please share.

How can I make this happen?

Will these platforms allow me to?

Thank you

How I can talk with social media platforms for this?
Here is the first product which I made. Here's how it works:

1. A customer finds brand's ad or story and clicks on the link.

2. They're redirected to a checkout page, where they fill in their details and click 'Buy Now'.

3. Next, they're redirected to PhonePe to complete the payment using their preferred method.

4. After payment, the customer is redirected to a feedback page.

5. Once payment is confirmed, you receive an order confirmation email with all order details, enabling you to fulfill the order.
