Social Commerce

Updated November 13, 2025

Social Commerce

Social commerce is the integration of e-commerce functionality directly into social media platforms, allowing users to make purchases without leaving the social network. It leverages the interactive nature of social media to enhance the shopping experience. It also enables brands to shorten the customer journey, use social proof (likes, comments, reviews) to boost conversions, and track the direct impact of social content on sales.
