OneTap - Purchase anything on Instagram with one tap

by•

76% of purchases from Instagram Shoppable Posts are abandoned before sale. OneTap reduces abandoned sales by making the buying process 10x easier. It's literally one tap to buy via Apple/Android Pay.

Damn! Looks like we were too slow...by 20 hours! https://edition.cnn.com/2019/03/...

Hey @ewan_collinge - great idea! Did you see today's news about Instagram launching in-app checkout? Curious to see how you intent on pivoting in light of this. https://instagram-press.com/blog...

@olliemcquitty @anna_0x I agree - Instagram could have timed this a lot better. A major miscalculation on their part!

Hi I'm Ewan, one of the founders of OneTap. It all started when I was on holiday with my girlfriend a few months back. She kept looking on Instagram to buy sunglasses. But every time she found some she liked she'd get redirected to a website with a really long checkout process. She could never be bothered to fill in all the details, so she'd always give up halfway through. Seemed like a wasted opportunity for the seller – and her! So I thought up OneTap, a super simple Instagram checkout, which makes selling (and buying) stuff on Instagram so much easier. Think Shopify but a million times simpler to sell.

oh you guys seen the recent news?

Really great idea @ewan_collinge ! The checkout process is the weakest point for most ecommerce platforms. If you think outside of Instagram, I think it would be great if you could provide this type of checkout process for all kind of online stores. Almost like a Facebook login, that anyone could integrate to their platform (Log in with Facebook = Checkout with OneTap). This could become THE checkout layer on top of every ecommerce platform. Instagram just validated your idea by adding this new feature to their app :)

@ewan_collinge @feriforgacs haha, thanks for the feedback Ferenc. Very helpful!

@ewan_collinge @feriforgacs definitely... Other platforms aren't too good with this yet. Snapchat could be an interesting application...

Upvoted you guys, despite the bad timing of the announcement from Instagram. Why? It'd be nice if Instagram merchants has a choice when it comes to which checkout implementation they want to use. Question: Does your implementation require the use of Instagram's API?

@geetfun Nope, doesn't rely on Instagram API
Alex Gibertoni
Very interesting!

I just read Instagram also implemented this feature? Is this the same? I'm confused 🤨

Still waiting on the meeting over a month ago I registered!

Looks great, excited to try this out for Dotgrid.co!

Besides being beat by Instagram's native one-click checkout, you're lucky Amazon's one-click patent expired in 2017! 😅...

what's the difference from say, a curalate?

I'm down! IG will only roll it out for "big brands first", so I signed up. How can I demo it?
Alex MacGregor
Really nice idea. Congrats on the execution!
Filippo Mursia
I was subscribed to this since long time? But I still have to get the demo or access to use it! Updates? @ewan_collinge

Just like the Oauth login, OneTap can be the one checkout solution for all stores.

It is available for us to start using this OneTap? Because we in Malaysia still not available to try Instagram Checkout.
