What layout options are available in MP Instagram Feed and how do I select the best fit for my storefront

MP Instagram Feed offers 9 layout options to help you display Instagram posts or TikTok videos in the style that best matches your store’s design and customer experience. Each layout has unique strengths, allowing you to choose the one that fits your goals.

1. Grid

• Posts are displayed in rows and columns.
• Best for: A clean and simple look where all posts are shown equally. Works well for showcasing a large number of posts at once.

2. Slider

• Posts are shown in a horizontal slider format that customers can swipe through.
• Best for: Stores that want an interactive, modern feel with minimal space usage while still showing multiple posts.

3. Highlight

• One main post is featured prominently, with additional posts arranged after it.
• Best for: Drawing attention to a specific post or campaign while still showing related content.

4. Coverflow

• Posts are displayed in a 3D-style interactive carousel. The center post is emphasized while others smoothly flow to the sides.
• Best for: Stores aiming for a visually striking, dynamic presentation that grabs customer attention.

5. Masonry

• Posts are displayed in a staggered grid with variable heights, creating a Pinterest-like visual flow.
• Best for: Stores with diverse content (images/videos of different sizes) that want a creative, editorial-style layout.

6. Collage

• Posts are arranged in a collage-style layout with different image sizes and positions.
• Best for: Stores that want a more visual, lifestyle-focused display instead of a standard feed. Works well for fashion, beauty, home decor, accessories, and brands with strong visual content.

7. Split profile

• The Instagram profile information is shown on one side, while feed posts are displayed on the other side.
• Best for: Stores that want to highlight their brand profile, follower presence, and social identity along with their posts. This layout is useful when you want customers to recognize and follow your Instagram account, not just view individual posts.

8. Stories bar

• Posts are displayed in a compact stories-style bar, similar to the Instagram Stories experience.
• Best for: Stores that want a familiar social media look and a lightweight feed that fits well near the top of a page, product page, or homepage section. Works well for promotions, new arrivals, UGC, and quick visual updates.

9. Scattered collage

• Posts are displayed in a playful scattered layout, with images placed in a more free-form and creative arrangement.
• Best for: Stores that want a bold, eye-catching section with a lifestyle or campaign feel. This layout is suitable for brands that want their feed to look less structured and more expressive.
