Restaurants have been hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic. Many customers are looking for ways to give back to their favorite eateries. Instagram just made it easier by implementing buttons and stickers to help support restaurants and bars with just one click.
According to a post on their blog, Instagram announced that starting today, the platform will be rolling out gift card, food order and fundraiser stickers that businesses can easily add to their stories and on their profiles. If you add a fundraiser button to your profile or story, it will redirect users to Facebook fundraisers created by business owners or their supporters. The option will become available on Instagram in the coming days while the option to add “order” and “gift card” buttons is available in the U.S. and Canada starting today and globally soon after.
Customers will also be able to re-share the stickers in their own stories to help spread the word and support the small businesses they care about.
