1. Extension Installation • Extract the zip folder and upload our extension to root of your Magento 2 directory via FTP.

• Login to your SSH and run below commands step by step:

o php bin/magento setup:upgrade

o php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy

o php bin/magento cache:flush

• That’s it.

2. Configuration For configuring the extension, login to Magento 2, move to Stores → Configuration →

Instagram where you can find various settings to enable the extension.

• Instagram: Enable or disable Instagram extension from here.

• Instagram Profile User Name: Add your profile user name to show in image popup.

• Instagram User Access Token: Enter your access token. You can get it from

https://www.instagram.com/developer/authentication/ following the steps

mentioned.

Method to receive the access token:

Reach out to authorization URL:

▪ Not logged in user will be asked to log in.

▪ The user will be asked to grant application access to his Instagram data.

The server will redirect the user in one of two ways:

▪ Server-side flow (recommended): Redirect the user to desired URL. Take the

provided code parameter and exchange it for an access token by posting the code to

access token URL.

▪ Implicit flow: Instead of handling a code, include the access token as a fragment (#)

in the URL. Although the method being less secure, it allows applications without any

server component to receive an access token.

• Fetch Instagram Images Using: Select option to fetch Instagram images.

o My User Name: You can use your own user name added under “Instagram

Profile User Name” to fetch images.

o Hashtags: Enter comma separated hashtags to fetch Instagram images.

• Instagram Image Popup View: Select Instagram popup view to show in frontend.

o Caption with Hyperlink: Add multiple captions with link to redirect users

when they click captions from popup.

o Product Feed: Add multiple product SKUs to fit with the products in image. On
