Social Connect
Most Rewear sellers already run a shop on Instagram. Social Connect brings that shop with you, so you don't have to build your catalogue twice.
Built for sellers running a real business
Rewear is an online commerce platform that helps fashion and lifestyle sellers manage and grow their businesses. Thousands of independent sellers, from thrift vendors and vintage curators to small studios and plant and homeware shops, use Rewear as their storefront: listings, secure payments through Paystack, delivery through Chowdeck and ShipBubble, and payouts straight to a Nigerian bank account.
Almost all of them started on Instagram, and most still sell there every day. Their catalogue is hundreds of posts deep. Asking a seller to retype all of it is how a good storefront stays empty.
Social Connect is the set of social commerce features that fixes that. Sellers connect their own Instagram professional account and use it to manage how their Instagram presence connects with their Rewear business, bringing their existing catalogue across, and keeping up with buyers in one place.
How it works
01
Connect your account
From Settings → Connected accounts, you sign in at instagram.com and grant Rewear access. You are always signing in as yourself. Rewear never asks for your Instagram password, and never sees it.
02
Rewear reads your posts
We walk your post history and read the caption and photos of each one. Multi-photo carousels come through with every image, not just the cover.
03
You review every listing
Each post becomes a draft listing with a suggested title, category, condition and price. Nothing is published until you approve it. You can edit any field, or discard the post entirely.
04
Your storefront fills up
Approved listings land on your Rewear storefront with secure payments, delivery and payouts to your Nigerian bank account already wired up.
What Rewear reads, and why
You start the connection yourself, and you authorize it at Instagram. Rewear only accesses the information you have authorized, and only uses it to provide the features you asked for, inside Rewear. Nothing outside this list is requested.
Profile information
Your account identifier, username, account type and post count.
This is what identifies and links your Instagram account to your Rewear storefront. It also confirms the account is a professional (Business or Creator) account, shows you which account is connected, and makes sure one Instagram account is only ever linked to one Rewear seller.
Posts and media
The caption, photos, post type, permalink and date of your posts.
This is what becomes a draft listing. Captions supply the title, description and price; photos become the listing images.
Messages and comments
Messages and comments on your own account.
So you can keep up with buyer questions about your listings in the same place you manage the rest of your shop, rather than switching between two apps.
What Rewear will never do
Rewear can only ever read the account you personally signed in with. There is no way to point it at someone else's Instagram, and Meta enforces this, not us.
We never post, comment, delete, follow or send anything from your account.
We never buy, sell, rent or share your Instagram data with advertisers, data brokers or any third party.
We don't touch your followers, your private messages with people unrelated to your shop, or anything you haven't asked us to import.
Photos stay on Instagram until you approve a listing. Only then do we copy them to Rewear so the listing keeps working.
You stay in control
Disconnecting takes one tap, in the Rewear app under Settings → Connected accounts. The moment you do, we destroy the access token and stop reading your account. Listings you already approved stay on your storefront. They're yours, and they no longer depend on Instagram. You can also revoke Rewear at any time from Instagram's own settings.
Access expires on its own too. Instagram issues Rewear a token that lasts about 60 days, and if you stop using Rewear it simply lapses.
How we store and handle this data is set out in our Privacy Policy. To erase your Rewear account and everything in it, including anything imported from Instagram, use account deletion.
Ready to bring your catalogue over?
You'll need a Rewear seller account and an Instagram professional account, either Business or Creator. Switching to one is free and takes a minute in Instagram's settings.
