    Manage the customer, payment state, and next fulfilment step from the dashboard.

Seller playbook

What the page must answer before a buyer acts

A useful Instagram shop answers the questions that normally slow down a Kenyan sale: what is available, how much it costs, what the buyer receives, where delivery or service happens, and what to do next.

Put real product photos, KES prices, sizes or variants, delivery expectations, and an external M-Pesa-ready checkout link on the page. Local detail is more useful than repeating the word Kenya: mention the counties you actually serve, realistic delivery options, and local suppliers only when those facts are true for the business.

FAQ

Instagram shop + M-Pesa: common questions.

Where do I put my shop link on Instagram?

Add it to your bio link, and reference it in Story stickers, Reel captions, and DM replies.

Can I link a specific product from a Reel or Story?

Yes. Point a caption or reply to the product's own page on your shop instead of sending everyone to the same generic link.

Does Instagram checkout support M-Pesa directly?

No - that's the gap this page solves. Your shop link opens an M-Pesa-ready checkout outside the app, so you are not limited to Instagram's own payment options.

Can I separate new arrivals from the rest of my catalogue?

Yes. Highlighting new items helps followers who already know your shop find what just landed.

What happens when someone taps my bio link?

They land on your shop, browse products with KES prices, and can order and pay without leaving their phone.
