What is Socialwidget ‑ Instagram Feed?

Socialwidget (also marketed as Instafeed PRO) displays shoppable Instagram and TikTok feeds with product tagging, sourced from accounts or specific hashtags. It carries the Built for Shopify badge and shows a 4.8/5 rating on 522 reviews. It's developed by OneCommerce, based in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, and has been on the Shopify App Store since April 2020.

How does the app work on a Shopify store?

Merchants pull content from Instagram accounts or hashtags, tag products directly in the media for shoppable posts, and choose from multiple ready-made templates optimized for all devices. Auto-sync frequency scales with plan tier, from every 24 hours on free up to every 2 hours on the top tier, and checkout/add-to-cart buttons are available on higher plans. It's currently English-only and connects to PageFly and TikTok.

Why choose Socialwidget over another Instagram feed app?

Hashtag-based content sourcing, not just pulling from the store's own account, is a differentiator from apps that only show the store's own posts. TikTok feed support alongside Instagram broadens the scope beyond most single-platform competitors in this batch. Reviews consistently and repeatedly name the same support staff member (Julie) across a wide range of merchants and countries for fast, effective fixes, a strong signal of consistent support quality at this scale (over 500 reviews).

What are the 3 main features of the app?

  1. Hashtag and account-based content sourcing, for Instagram and TikTok.
  2. Product tagging for shoppable feeds, with checkout buttons on higher tiers.
  3. Configurable auto-sync frequency, from 24 hours down to 2 hours.
