Chirpify Expands To Instagram

Online, social payments software firm Chirpify is expanding beyond Twitter today, and has added support for in-stream payments on photo sharing service Instagram. The Portland startup said that it has already signed up a number of customers who will use its service to enable e-commerce purchases on Instagram, including Bogs Footwear, Fearless Records, actress and singer Kat Graham, tattoo artist Kat Von D, KEEN Footwear, and many others. Chirpify, which is headed by Chris Teso, develops a system which lets people purchase things directly from Twitter and Instagram--including music and physical products--directly from their stream.
