Social shopping refers to the use of social media platforms to discover, explore, and purchase products. It combines content, community, and commerce by allowing users to engage with products through posts, videos, livestreams, and creator recommendations.

Social shopping shortens the path from inspiration to purchase by enabling users to buy products directly within or alongside social content.
