The Instagram accounts screen lists every Business account the store has connected, with its token state and last sync time.

Also, for the same catalog inside an Android and iOS app, check our add-on CS-Cart Multi Vendor Mobile App Builder.

• Add an account with the Connect Instagram button from the accounts grid.
• Read the Vendor, Username, Last sync, Token expires, Last error, and status columns.
• Spot a stalled account from its Last error value before the feed goes stale.
• Let the token renewer refresh long lived tokens before they expire.
• Import both own media and media the account was tagged in.
• Run separate accounts for separate storefronts on the same install.

The CS-Cart Block Manager places each feed, so a shoppable Instagram gallery can sit on any storefront page.

Every feed keeps its own post limit, layout style, and click behaviour, which lets one store run several feeds at once.

• Give each feed a Code, a Title, a Source type, and a Sort order.
• Add the feed to the homepage as a grid block or as a slider block.
• Show tagged posts on the product details page for the active product.
• Publish a dedicated Instagram gallery page for all synced media.
• Set the column count per device, such as five on desktop and two on mobile.
• Pick the aspect ratio, the click action, and whether videos autoplay.

Also, for more social selling tools on your store, you can check our CS-Cart Social Media Add-ons.

The media library is the single grid where every imported post waits for a decision before a storefront feed can show it.

• Set a media file to approved, pending, or rejected.
• Show only approved media files in every storefront feed.
• Pin a post so it holds the top position in the grid.
• Hide or show a media file without deleting it.
• Search the library by media type, origin, status, account, and date range.
• Approve, reject, hide, pin, unpin, or delete many media files at once.

Automatic product tagging reads each caption as a post arrives, so a busy account does not need an admin on every upload.

• Turn on Enable automatic product tagging from the add-on settings.
• Switch on Match SKU in caption to check caption words against catalog SKUs.
• Use Auto-publish suggestions to skip review, or leave it off to check each tag.
• Map a hashtag such as #sale to product SKUs on the Hashtag to SKU rules screen.
• Let the cron job scan captions of newly imported posts.

Recipes are ready-made feed templates. Picking one opens the feed editor with the source type and the layout already filled in.

• Start a feed from a recipe instead of building it field by field.
• Use Social proof on Homepage for a six column grid under the hero.
• Use Shoppable slider on Product pages to show posts tagged with the current product.
• Use Moderated UGC wall for customer tagged posts that need approval first.
• Use Campaign feed on a landing page for a manually curated post list.
• Clone One feed per storefront to run localized feeds from one account.

Instagram rotates its CDN URLs, and a feed that hotlinks them shows broken tiles a few days after an import.

Also, if you want product videos in their own product page tab, you can check our add-on CS-Cart Product Video Tab.

• Switch on Mirror media to local storage in the synchronization settings.
• Mirror media in batches so a large import does not stall the queue.
• Play mirrored videos through a responsive HTML5 video player.
• Fall back to a secure storefront URL when a direct fetch is refused.
• Keep storefront tiles working after Instagram rotates a CDN URL.

The analytics dashboard reports what each feed earned, so a store can judge social commerce on revenue rather than on likes.

Also, if you want shoppers to browse marketplace vendors by category, you can check our add-on CS-Cart Advanced Vendor List.

• Read Impressions, Clicks, Popup opens, Product clicks, Add-to-carts, and Orders.
• Track Revenue, CTR, and Conv. rate, and break the numbers down by feed, post, or product.
• Export any of those three breakdowns to CSV.
• Set Sync frequency and Posts per account per sync, which allows up to 200.
• Purge older media with Retention days, where 0 keeps everything.
