Chirpify Brings In-Stream Commerce to Instagram

Commerce is something of a challenge for social networks to implement, but a third party that has already made it work on Twitter is now looking to expand into other markets. Chirpify today announced that it will extend its in-stream payment system to photo-sharing app Instagram. With a PayPal account and the right hashtags, users can now buy, sell, donate, or make a payment without leaving Instagram.
