Facebook has added this feature as part of its support for small businesses that are struggling to survive the ongoing lockdown for Covid-19.


That Livestream, Mark Zuckerberg said the feature would help such stores keep their revenue uninterrupted and give them the courage and strength to reopen their stores after the lockdown. A survey by Facebook found that one-third of small businesses will not be able to reopen their stores due to a lack of revenue after the lockdown. Also more than half of businesses said they would fail to re-employ their previous employees.

With the ongoing lockdown due to Covid-19, the Shops feature will again open up avenues for small businesses. The feature may not be able to fully mobilize the economy, but it will alleviate some of the economic losses of businesses.
