Instagram Introduces New Call-to-Action Stickers for Delivery & Gift Cards

Instagram is releasing an innovative tool for businesses that can be utilized for promoting food delivery as well as gift card purchases. This new feature will work in the Stories section.

Following the COVID-19 epidemic, businesses and general public around the world are experiencing a plethora of economic issues. The company has released this new feature to assist small businesses during the financial and health crises. With the help of this new feature, business and people would be able to find their food order options, gift cards, as well as fundraisers on Instagram. This will help the small restaurants and other businesses to market their essential services and products to their targeted customers. It may help them to enhance their disturbed sales and revenue with the help of online users.  

The newly launched stickers are located in the sticker tray that can be quickly used by pressing on the square smiley button on the upper-right corner of Instagram’s interface.

Once you chose either the ‘food orders’ or ‘gift cards’ sticker, you will be asked to select from one of Instagram’s chosen partners. Bear in mind that the food delivery transactions and Gift card purchases will all be provided by the third parties.

Here is a list of supported partners with the Instagram new Gift card and food delivery features:

1. Seamless
2. Postmates
3. Uber Eats
4. Delivery.com
5. Caviar
6. Raise
7. Square
8. DoorDash
9. ChowNow
10. GrubHub
11. Yiftee
12. Kabbage

When you select one of these available partners, you can create a direct link on your order page. This will boost your sales and web traffic. 

Keep in mind that you only need to set up this all for the first time, and once this all is settled up, you would not need to do this all again each time while accessing the feature. After that, you would be able to choose the sticker right away, and Instagram will save your preferences for the future. You can edit the Links at any time according to your requirements. In case you want to advertise your Uber Eats link above DoorDash, for just instance, you would be able to do so effortlessly.

Bear in mind that you can only use one food order sticker per story. Brands can’t add multiple links to the various food delivery services in a single story. However, you can post alternate stories with diverse delivery supplier. I mean, there is no restriction for posting new or different links in your everyday stories.
