Shoppable video ads

This feature is available to brands only.

Shoppable video ads combine video storytelling with direct add-to-cart functionality on Instacart. Bring together dynamic content and conversion by pairing video creatives with a product carousel that lets customers shop while they watch. Shoppable video ads use a cost-per-impression (CPM) bidding model and support both keyword and behavioral targeting.
