SNS is used as a place to promote brands and products, and many corporate accounts use their skills to promote products to users. In recent years, the SNS side has also begun to focus on adding shopping functions, and in May 2021, Facebook announced 'Facebook Shops ' that enables companies to create full-scale online shops on Facebook.

Twitter also started testing the shopping feature in 2014, but eventually the feature was removed and the focus was on another area. However, in 2021, the focus was on shopping again, and in March it was reported that we were testing a 'shopping card' that could embed a button that links to a product page in a tweet.
And on July 28, Twitter finally announced that it is testing a 'shop module' that allows you to sell and buy products directly on the platform.
Come to Twitter to Tweet, follow along with live events, and now ... to shop.

According to Twitter, the shop module can be used by about 10 companies in total, such as GameStop and Arden Cove, at the time of article creation. Twitter told tech media TechCrunch that it is in the early stages of testing at the time of writing and does not provide a way for interested companies to participate in the test.
In his blog, Twitter said, 'We believe in Twitter's ability to facilitate conversations about its products. In this pilot test, enthusiastic, responsive and talkative users feel like a jersey for their favorite sports team. We will explore how to react to products that appeal to people and products that leave an impact, such as new skin care methods. '
At Twitter Analyst Day in February 2021, Bruce Falk, Head of Monetization for Twitter, said, 'We are beginning to look for ways to better support our business transactions on Twitter. I know that will go to Twitter to interact with the brand and discuss their favorite products. ' Twitter CFO Ned Segal also said at the Technology, Media & Communications Conference held by JP Morgan in May, 'People surveyed on Twitter before buying anything. I will do it. '
