Already have a Netcash Shop?
Please note
As of 10 August 2023, Meta (Facebook) updated the Facebook and Instagram Shops functionality. This feature is only available to businesses using Checkout with Facebook & Instagram in the U.S. This means that South African merchants are no longer able to use the Shops feature on all ecommerce platforms, however Advertising features are still available.

How much does it cost to sell on Instagram?
