You can now order food and buy gift cards directly through Instagram
Gone are the days of counterproductive Insta-creeping! The popular app has just added a new feature that will work in favour of both scrollers and small businesses! Now with their IG Stickers, you can actually order a meal, buy a gift card, or donate to businesses in a matter of a few clicks.
“Small businesses are an important part of our community, and many are facing immense challenges during the COVID‑19 crisis,” the company said in a statement. “Right now, every sale helps.”

The donation feature is not quite up and running for all restaurants, but keep your eyes peeled. Instagram will be working with sister site, Facebook in order to pull this off, redirecting you to a functional fundraiser page when it is ready (which should be any day now).
As for the delivery and gift card ‘IG Stickers’ feature, she’s good to go! Go get em’ local businesses! Instagram is your oyster! It’s literally never been easier to get your favourite foods at home.
Don’t get us wrong, we miss going out, but we’d be lying if we didn’t say we were not impressed or proud of how quickly the world has adapted to our temporary normal.
Great job, folks!
