Snapchat has made it open for any brand to set up shoppable catalogues and AR filters, allowing customers to browse and purchase items in the app.
Companies are able to make a business profile (Public Profiles for Businesses) which acts as a hub for product discovery.
Once this is done, they can deploy the Snap Pixel and start targeting new and existing customers.
Snapchat AR Filters
Now that you’ve set up your business profile and deployed Snap Pixel, you can start setting up your products and campaigns!
AR Filters are great ways to introduce new products, have the public try them on, and make them available for purchase.
Not only are they fun to use, but they give customers insight as to how your products will work for them.
