Social platforms are extending their partnerships to launch in-app buying features in the German market

To tap into the growing trend of social buying and accelerate revenue growth, social media platforms are launching new in-app buying features in the German market through extended collaborations.
• TikTok, for instance, extended its strategic partnership with Ticketmaster in December 2023. With the extended collaboration, TikTok is allowing users to discover events and buy tickets in-app. The firm initially launched the social buying feature in the United States market in 2022 and is now expanding the service in global markets, including Germany.

From the short to medium-term perspective, PayNXT360 expects TikTok to launch more such features in the European market, thereby driving investment in the sector and subsequently aiding the industry growth over the next three to four years.

E-commerce platforms are adding social commerce functionality to accelerate revenue growth

With the trend of social buying rising among young generation shoppers, e-commerce platforms are losing sales. Consequently, to attract young shoppers, who make purchase decisions through friends’ and influencers’ recommendations, firms are adding new social commerce features to their platforms.
• Amazon, in October 2023, launched the Consult-a-Friend feature in Germany. This enables shoppers to send a message to people whose advice they seek. The message includes a link to new experiences, where friends can react to products shown using commentary or emojis. The feature will also enable Amazon to tap into non-Amazon users, potentially driving new users to the platform. This is because, for replying to any query from a friend, people need to be signed in.

Going forward, PayNXT360 expects Amazon to launch more such social commerce capabilities to its e-commerce platform, supporting the sector growth over the next three to four years in Germany.
