# What is Instagram Product Tagging?

You can now tag products on Instagram photos, videos and multi-photo posts through Publer! 

Instagram product tagging is a feature that allows users to buy products directly on Instagram without ever leaving the platform. Brands can tag the products in an image so when people click on the tag, they can find additional information about the product such as the price and product description. 

**Product tags **are vital for branding, sales tracking, and customer navigation. They use labels to describe product details, enhance the shopping experience and boost marketing efforts.

|| Note: Publer will search for products in real-time, which means you will see the exact results for products like you do when you are using Instagram directly.

|| Note: Product Tagging is currently supported only for Instagram accounts with Facebook, due to limitations with the META API. Therefore, if your Instagram account is not connected to a Facebook page, this feature will not be available to you.
