FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most common questions about Instagram Shopping on Wendesk.
Does Instagram support in-app checkout for Indian sellers?
Instagram's native in-app checkout is not available in India as of 2026. Indian sellers redirect buyers to their website via product tags. Wendesk tracks these click-through leads in your CRM.
How does Wendesk connect Instagram Shopping to my CRM?
Wendesk uses the Instagram Graph API to pull Direct Message threads and product inquiry data into your CRM contact records, letting you follow up via WhatsApp or email.
Can I automate WhatsApp replies to Instagram Shopping inquiries?
Yes. When a buyer messages via Instagram product tags, Wendesk can route the conversation to WhatsApp with a pre-approved template message for faster engagement.
What Instagram Business account type is required?
You need an Instagram Business or Creator account connected to a Facebook Page. Wendesk connects via Meta Business OAuth and requires messaging and catalog read permissions.
How does this integration help Indian ecommerce brands?
Indian social commerce is growing rapidly toward a $70B GMV market by 2028. Wendesk bridges Instagram discovery with WhatsApp conversion, reducing drop-off between product browse and purchase.
