# How to Embed an Instagram Feed on WooCommerce (Step-by-Step)

Installing the Idukki plugin, syncing your WooCommerce product catalogue, and placing a shoppable Instagram gallery on the pages that actually convert.

By Rohin Aggarwal · 2026-07-07

WooCommerce runs on WordPress, which means an Instagram gallery installs as a plugin rather than an app block, but the underlying steps are the same: connect the source, sync the catalogue, place the embed, tag the products.

**The 4 steps**

- **Install the Idukki WordPress plugin** from the WordPress plugin directory or your dashboard.
- **Connect Instagram** and sync your WooCommerce product catalogue.
- **Place the gallery** via a shortcode or Gutenberg block on the homepage, shop page or individual product pages.
- **Tag products** on the posts that feature them, manually or with AI auto-tagging.

## Step 1: Install the plugin and connect your sources

Install the Idukki plugin the way you would any WordPress plugin, then connect Instagram (business or creator account) and your WooCommerce store from the same dashboard. WooCommerce's product data (name, price, image, stock status) syncs directly, which is what lets a post get tagged to a real, live product rather than a static link.

## Step 2: Place the gallery

The gallery drops in via a shortcode or a Gutenberg block, wherever the theme's editor supports either: the homepage, the shop archive, or directly on individual product pages. Product pages are where the shoppable tagging pays off most, since the gallery sits next to the exact item it's trying to sell.

## Step 3: Tag products

Tag two to four products per post against your synced WooCommerce catalogue, manually or with AI auto-tagging. The [general Instagram embed guide](/blog/embed-instagram-feed-on-website) covers the platform-agnostic version of this step if you want more detail.

## Common mistakes

WordPress themes vary widely in how they handle shortcodes and blocks, so the most common install issue is a gallery that renders correctly in the block editor preview but looks broken on the live theme, usually a CSS conflict worth checking with the theme's own support before assuming the widget is at fault. The second recurring issue is the same one everywhere: an installed gallery with no products tagged.

**In one line:** On WooCommerce, the plugin and catalogue sync do the heavy lifting. The gallery only becomes a sales channel once products are actually tagged to it.
