Q: How do I build a shoppable Instagram carousel that sells more than a single image?

A: Carousels = multi-image swipeable posts, and they convert when built deliberately:
— Slide 1: the hook image — the result or the product in context, not a flat catalog shot. This decides if anyone swipes.
— Slides 2-4: show different angles, use cases, or the before/after.
— Tag the relevant product on each slide where it appears (up to 20 tags across the carousel).
— Put a 'swipe to see it on' or 'tap to shop' cue on slide 1 so people know it's interactive.
— End on a slide that names the price and the action.

Lead with the strongest image — the first slide carries 80% of whether people engage.

Also worth knowing: carousels get re-surfaced in feeds when someone swipes, so they earn a second view that single posts don't.
