Photoslurp is a cool service for all those brands that want to sell stuff through Instagram. And its pretty simple to use. Also, it still doesn’t actually add, or require links in posts. The only link on an Instagram profile, is the profile link itself. And so Photoslurp gives you a link to your own e-commerce site outside Instagram that has exactly the same look and feel as the real thing.
