Step-by-Step Guide and Best Practices for Requesting Posts on Instagram Through Comments
With Shoppable Insta Feed and UGC, you can request content rights by leaving a comment under the original Instagram post.
When requesting content through comments, ask the creator to respond with a specific hashtag to approve your request.

Go to Collect Content > Tagged (UGC)
Click on the comment area
Write your comment
Be carreful to enter the following details:
Approve Hashtag: The hashtag creators will use to approve the request
Website Terms: A link to your Terms of Service
Exemple Message: The default message for this template :
" Nice post! We'd like to showcase this media on our website. Answer #OK if so. Terms: example.com/terms. Thanks! "
