The impact of the rise of commercial trade can be seen everywhere, whether you realize it or not. Right from the Silk Route, which connected China with the Far East & West, to the advent of eCommerce – commerce has been evolving at a speed that can not be fathomed. Now, the new wing of digital commerce, mCommerce (Mobile Commerce), has remodeled the conventional thought of buying and selling, supported by the ever-increasing number of internet users worldwide. With 90.97% of the world’s population owning a smartphone, mCommerce has further introduced Social Commerce – a blend of eCommerce and mCommerce. Billions on TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook become potential customers, as social media now doubles as a shopping hub, not just for entertainment. However, for sellers, selling on social commerce platforms remains an untapped territory waiting to be explored with its gigantic potential and enormous audience base.
Sellers can tap into the growing capabilities of social commerce while seamlessly managing their stores through the right social media integration solution.
Do you know a two-hour live shopping event on TikTok outperforms a week’s sales at a flagship store? Or, that a shoppable Instagram livestream can help you garner as many as 40,000 targeted reach? Welcome to social commerce – leveraging social media platforms to directly engage and sell to your audience where they already are. Today’s social media platforms host a new breed of shoppers seeking seamless, frictionless experiences. The ease of shopping without leaving the platform has completely changed the scope of traditional shopping. Real-time product reviews foster customer loyalty, turning more browsers into buyers.
With enormous growth potential, the three leading social commerce selling channels are:
The leading social media channel with over a billion active users. TikTok, a rapidly expanding video platform, has introduced TikTok Shop as its social commerce platform to facilitate brand growth in eCommerce. It is the perfect platform for sellers looking to showcase the uniqueness of their products. TikTok places emphasis on its creator community. Additionally, TikTok provides a comprehensive suite of tools, thus helping sellers create captivating content on the platform to gain more brand visibility.
The fastest-growing social media platform with over 2 billion active users, Instagram is one of the most popular networks of choice for sellers to market their products. Also, the Reel feature of the platform has taken brand reach and engagement one notch higher. Moreover, sellers can also create a digital catalog of their products, enabling customers to purchase directly on the app.

Moreover, with Facebook Shop’s expanded reach and detailed analytical support, sellers can amplify their eCommerce business in no time.
