How to set up Settings

The Settings page lets you manage all essential configurations of the MP Instagram Feed app — including your subscription plan, app status, language preferences, sync behavior, and third-party integrations. Additionally, you can set up connections for Instagram and TikTok.

Use this section to control how the app works with your store and ensure everything stays up to date.

I. App settings

The Settings page allows you to manage your plan, control app behavior, language preferences, data syncing, and integrations — all in one place.

1 .Plan

  • Current plan: Displays your subscription tier (e.g., Free, Pro).
  • Next payment: Shows your upcoming billing date/time.

Click Change plan to upgrade or switch billing cycle and click Downgrade plan if you want.

2. App settings

App status: This feature allows you to activate the app on the storefront.

  • Select App status > Enable app and you will be redirected to Shopify App embeds.

  • In the Shopify App embeds, activate Mageplaza Instagram Feed application and save the change.

  • Back to the app, you need to click on Refresh status to update the app status.

  • Supported languages include English, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, German, Swedish, Dutch, Czech, Danish, Norwegian (Bokmål), Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Portuguese (Portugal), Finnish, Turkish, Thai, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), and Korean.

Republish app

Here are some cases where republishing is needed:

  • The theme has been changed
  • Currency has been changed → republish to ensure the correct currency appears on product tags on the storefront
  • If the app is disabled, but the merchant updates the settings while it’s disabled and then enables the app afterward, it may cause errors.
  • Data in the app (feed, account, media, etc.) is not in sync with what’s shown on the store

3. Integrations

Don’t just make your Instagram feed appealing—make it reliable and conversion-focused. Mageplaza Instagram Feed empowers you to tag products directly to your Instagram posts on your Shopify store. With Air Product Reviews, you can easily add star ratings and customer reviews to your Instagram feed. This combination not only enhances your store’s visual appeal but also builds trust through authentic testimonials.

Integrate with Air Product Reviews

  • Go to Mageplaza Instagram Feed > Integration, go to the Air Product Reviews block, and click Manage.
  • Step 1: Install and enable the app. Click Go to app store to install and set up Air Product Reviews (skip this step if you’ve already installed Air Reviews). Then go back to Instagram Feed and click Enable app to activate it on your theme.
  • Step 2: Connect two apps, click Connect to integrate the two apps.
  • Step 3: Select the page (homepage, product page, collection page) on which to display the star rating.

Note: Follow our video to enable Mageplaza Instagram Feed if you have not yet.

Show reviews and ratings on Instagram feeds

  • After integrating the two apps, go to Mageplaza Instagram Feed > Product tags > Set up in Product tagging posts.
  • Check Show product reviews and ratings, and complete this process to create and show the Instagram feed.
  • Go to your storefront and check reviews and star ratings on any products tagged in your Instagram feeds.

Stories – Synchronize media

Manage syncing for Instagram Stories separately.

Auto sync: You can control how your Instagram Stories are synced into the app:

  • Real-time: New stories will be synced immediately as they’re posted. (There may be a delay of around 15 minutes due to syncing latency between both sides.)
  • Every 4 hours: Stories will be checked and synced automatically every 4 hours.
  • None: Auto sync is disabled — you’ll need to sync stories manually.

Manual sync: Click to fetch the latest stories manually.

Note: Story sync is handled independently from post sync.

Auto Sync Stories = None means new stories will no longer be synced. Previously synced stories will continue to display until they expire (24 hours from the time they were posted). If you don’t want to sync stories anymore, go to Feed Settings (Step 1) and uncheck Stories in the Filter section.
