Nordstrom, a US-based department store operator has partnered with Curalate to launch Like2Buy platform to create a more seamless shopping experience for its customers through Instagram.

According to the companies, Like2Buy will bridge the gap between Instagram and Nordstrom.com by allowing customers to purchase items featured on the Nordstrom Instagram page.

When a customer sees a photo on Nordstrom’s Instagram feed of a product that they’re interested in purchasing or learning more about, they simply click on the Nordstrom profile name and then click the link on the Nordstrom profile page.

Next, customers will see a gallery of all the featured products and can select an item and go directly to Nordstrom.com to complete their purchase.

Further, customers will have the option to use ‘My Likes’ function in the gallery to curate items for future inspiration or to purchase at another time.
