Social media for ecommerce platforms and online shops
Use a social wall to display powerful user-generated content which helps to promote your products, offer inspiration and increase your revenue.
Collect content from multiple social media platforms
Create an interactive shopping experience with a social wall. Collect the social media posts your customers and influencers share and display them on a live social feed. Link those posts directly to your products and mix it up by adding special deals or discounts to your wall.
Aggregate content from hashtags, profiles and pages and select the posts you want to display. You can also choose which social media channels you want to include on your social wall. Walls.io offers integrations with the most popular social platforms.

INCREASE SHOP REVENUE WITH TRUSTWORTHY SOCIAL CONTENT
Aggregate and display authentic content posted by your customers on an embedded social feed. This will generate trust and help people decide to buy.
CREATE DESIRE AND TRAFFIC THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA

CAPITALISE ON USER-GENERATED CONTENT
Display the best posts and videos on your eCommerce platform. Add a button that links to the product featured in each post. Lead the user directly to the product instead of expecting them to search for it themselves.
MOTIVATE EMPLOYEES
Display your customers’ social posts, showing how they are using your product and saying how much they like it, to let your employees experience recognition for how important their work is. Feeling valued will boost everyone’s motivation.

Using a social wall on your eCommerce platform will help you drive engagement and create authenticity by displaying user-generated content. Additionally, a social feed keeps your website up-to-date with powerful social proof and the social media posts you already create.
Permanent displays
Display a social wall in your office, cafeteria or production site. Give your employees insight into how your customers use the product and how much they love it. You can also use it for internal monitoring of mentions of your brand or specific terms or products.
Walls.io really cares about customer needs. When we brought up the idea of a social commerce button with the team, they were happy to implement it for us. Now we can focus our social wall on customer-generated content and also make sure it links back to our product pages, ideally increasing purchase conversions.
