Interisting Idea (similar concept in what Etsy did with its own platform shop->website). I think that's the target (micro shop-craftman) who make everything on the go (mobile) and don't have time to set up and mantain a website. There is nothing to discuss yet (seems to be in a very early stage, correct me if I'm wrong) about the platform. Waiting for the final release, good luck guys!

@nick88msn Yes exactly Nicola, we want to make it easy for every Instagram shop owner so that they can control their website from their phone. This the earliest stage we just want to get some feedbacks and users. We want to give free accounts to our first beta users. This is the stage where they can fill our survey and to get invite to the website.

This is sick. I've heard that there's a big use case in Brazil with merchants using IG as their storefront and WhatsApp as their sales/ecommerce/customer support platform. Would be cool to integrate on the backend of HeroZebra so you don't have to get redirected to another online store to check out.

Looks great simple concept but just might work, thing about relying on instagram API for shopping is eventually facebook might lead that way, so I would recommend you have users actually come to a central site where you retain users so you won't be dependent on facebook changes. But looks good

I would aim for people selling collectables (antiques, watches, coins, ...). Someone who has creates a single product will have it professionally photographed and doesn't mind if it takes some time to post it. Classic resellers will use the pictures provided by the manufacturer. I would look for markets, where people have regularly changing inventory and no images exist, from the manufacturer. Now that I think about it: It would also makes sense in cases where the condition of the product is important. i.e. used car dealers . Good Luck! Carsten
