In this article, we'll show you how to set up online booking via Instagram in just a few simple steps.  This requires that you already have an Instagram Business Account. Please note that you can't use your personal profile — you'll need a business page instead.  **Important things to Note Before starting connecting Shore:** - Your Instagram account must be a [Business account](https://business.instagram.com/getting-started). If you have a 'Creator' account, you'll need to switch this to 'Business' in order to use the booking button process below.  - Make sure you set your Instagram profile to Public. Private accounts can't switch to Business Accounts. - It's not possible to connect Shore to more than one Instagram account. ### Setting up a booking button on Instagram - **Go to your profile and select "Edit Profile":** - Open your Instagram profile. - Click the **"Edit Profile"** button located just below your profile picture and username. - **Select “Action Buttons”:** - Within the Contact Options section, find and tap **"Action Buttons."** - This allows you to add a button for specific actions, like booking appointments. - **Choose the type of button:** - Select **“Book Now”** from the list of available action buttons. - You'll see a list of booking partners supported by Instagram. - **Select your booking partner:** - Search for your booking tool, such as "Shore," in the list. - Tap on your provider to start the integration process. - **Connect your booking tool:** - After selecting your provider, you’ll be redirected to your booking tool’s login page. - Log in and authorize the connection between your booking tool and Instagram. - **Save the settings:** - Once the connection is established, return to Instagram and save the changes. - The **"Book Now" button** will now appear on your Instagram profile. - **Test the functionality:** - Tap the button in your profile to ensure it properly redirects customers to your booking page.   ### What can I do if the setup doesn't work?  Setting up online appointment booking via Instagram can occasionally run into issues.
