Direct answer
What is Social Commerce?
Social commerce is selling through social platforms' native shop experiences — Instagram Shop, Facebook catalogs, TikTok Shop — and through shoppable posts, reels, and live streams that route buyers to checkout. AKOD helps brands connect product data, creative, and operations so social traffic does not die in DMs or broken links.
Work starts with catalog eligibility: feed quality, policy compliance, variant accuracy, and inventory sync. Creative and community teams need playbooks for tagging products, promo overlays, and UGC rights. Live shopping requires run-of-show scripts, moderators, and stock buffers. For Turkish fashion and beauty brands, installment and return policies must match what shop surfaces display.
AKOD coordinates social commerce with paid social and owned-store CRO so price, stock, and messaging stay consistent when a reel goes viral.
Service Overview
Detailed overview
Discovery moved social. Buyers scroll reels before they open brand websites. Social commerce meets them with tagged products, shop tabs, and in-app checkout where platforms allow. Without operations discipline, viral posts create oversells, angry comments, and disapproved catalogs.
AKOD maps your current stack: Shopify, Ikas, WooCommerce, or marketplace feeds; Meta Commerce Manager; TikTok Shop onboarding status; and whether checkout completes in-app or on site. Feed errors — wrong GTINs, mismatched prices, missing shipping — are fixed before scaling creators or ads.
Instagram and Facebook shop workstreams cover catalog segments, collection curation, and product sets for retargeting. Creative templates define how stylists, founders, or creators tag SKUs in reels and stories. Rights management for UGC is documented so reposts do not create takedown risk.
TikTok Shop and live commerce modules address script structure, offer timing, moderator roles, and post-live retargeting. Teams practice handling size questions in comments without promising stock that ERP does not have.
Influencer and creator workflows tie unique links or codes to margin-aware commissions. AKOD separates awareness creators from conversion creators when budgets are tight.
On-site handoff matters when checkout is external: landing pages must match reel promises — price, bundle contents, delivery date. Analytics events connect shop clicks to purchases so social ROI is visible beyond platform dashboards.
For export brands, social commerce may start in English storefronts while production stays in Türkiye; currency, duties, and support hours appear in copy before campaigns launch. B2B brands use social commerce less; AKOD scopes honestly when lead forms beat shop tabs.
Reporting combines platform shop insights, GA4 assisted conversions, and weekly creative winners retired on schedule to reduce fatigue.
AKOD engagements include clear communication rhythms, written assumptions, and escalation paths so Turkish headquarters and international stakeholders stay aligned. Success metrics are agreed before execution so progress is judged on outcomes, not activity volume alone.

Why it matters
Why this service matters
Engagement without purchasable paths wastes creator spend. Social commerce turns attention into orders when catalog, creative, and ops align — especially during launches and seasonal drops where minutes matter.
Brands that treat social as only branding leave revenue to marketplace sellers and faster competitors.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ
Do we need TikTok Shop to do social commerce?
No. Many brands start with Instagram Shopping and shoppable posts; TikTok is added when catalog and ops are ready.
Can AKOD manage our product feed?
Feed fixes are scoped with your platform team; ongoing feed management can be a separate e-commerce engagement.
How do you prevent overselling during viral posts?
Stock buffers, cart rules, and comment playbooks — plus coordination with warehouse on launch quantities.
Do you work with influencers?
We brief and measure; creator contracts remain yours. We focus on tagging, codes, and landing alignment.
What platforms do you support?
Meta-family shops and TikTok Shop are most common; scope is confirmed at intake.
Will social commerce hurt our website SEO?
Owned-site SEO remains important; social shops complement rather than replace your domain strategy.
How is success measured?
Shop revenue, click-to-purchase rate, and assisted conversions — defined before pilots run.
Does AKOD guarantee viral sales?
No. We improve operability when attention arrives; reach depends on creative and platform algorithms.
