The glitz and glamour of shopping malls attract a lot of people for its convenient nature. What if you could shop in just a click sitting at your home or office? That’s the easiness of online shopping and greatest of all the reasons to choose over the traditional mode of shopping.
There has been a great exponential increase in the online shopping trend and a number of e-commerce sites have evolved offering a wonderful experience on the go.
Recently, one of the popular transitory picture and messaging application Snapchat is testing a camera feature in collaboration with one of the innovative e-commerce platform Amazon that will enable Snap users to buy whatever they come across in real!
How will the Camera work?
This new way to search for products on Amazon is really exciting and easy to get along. All you have to do is to pinpoint your Snapchat camera at a physical product or scan the barcode of the items, and press and hold on the camera screen. Then it will be redirected to an Amazon pop-up card for that particular product or something that is totally similar. The card displays a link to that product and when you tap it, you will be redirected to that particular product page on the Amazon app or website.
With this new Visual Search feature, Snapchat will be fulfilling the desire of many users who wish to shop with their phones. But this visual search feature is not available to the users now; very soon Snap will make it available for everyone. It is expected that in coming days it will be available on both Android and IOS platforms. This feature is an easy and faster way to shop till you drop.
It is a very new approach and mostly in its initial or testing stage so it will be available to a small selection of users in the US as of now. But the chances are high for the rest of the users throughout the world to avail this amazing feature initiated by Snapchat and Amazon. Till then plan on what will you shop with Snapchat!
