According to a mockup posted online,
the Twitter Commerce tweets will be shown inside of Twitter users
streams, similar to Twitter's promoted posts. Some Commerce tweets will
appear inside Twitter's Discovery section. On expanding the tweet, users
will see photos of the product up for sale along with a brief
description. There will also be a section for related products.
To buy products, users will have to
click the “Buy with” button, which will ask users to enter their credit
card and other information required for transaction. According to leaked
documents, transactions made on Twitter Commerce will be “handled
securely within the Twitter app”.
Currently, it's not clear if Twitter
will charge any fee or percentage on sales on its platform. However, the
company may benefit from retailers using Promoted Commerce Tweet ad
products. According to a Telegraph report,
the micro-blogging website's venture into e-commerce is based on last
year's “pay by tweet” experiments in partnership with American Express.
It's notable Twitter has been making several efforts to explore options
to improve profits.
