Social Commerce Platforms Are Changing How Consumers Shop Online

Social commerce—shopping directly through social media platforms—is booming. Platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Pinterest now offer integrated shops where users can purchase products without leaving the app.

Influencer-driven content, livestream shopping, and personalized recommendations make social commerce highly engaging. Brands benefit from increased visibility and shorter sales cycles.

This new model blends entertainment with retail, transforming product discovery and consumer behavior.
