When a shopper likes a picture on Instagram or clicks on a linked product, they are transported to LTK’s website and the personal page of said influencer which hosts more links leading the shopper to where they can buy the item they liked. The service makes it possible for users to buy merchandise that they see their favorite Instagram influencers wearing.
