About Socialphotos
In the beginning
Socialphotos was founded in 2014 to help merchants curate user-generated content (UGC) from Instagram & Customer Uploads, and display them as Shoppable galleries.
We strive to make a great product at an affordable price that is easy to use for non-technical folks. Our user interface is simple and efficient, and we provide hundreds of customization options to style your customer gallery. Finally, we are here because of merchants like yourself and we pride ourself on great customer service.
