Twitter is testing new e-commerce features to integrate product details
Microblogging and social networking service Twitter has now started testing its new e-commerce tweet layouts, with at least one user of its Android application in Qatar spotting the new format.
According to Tech Crunch, Matt Navarra, who is a UK-based social media consultant first spotted this new change and shared images credited to Yasser Masood that contrasted the simpler existing "link" sharing card with the upgraded shopping card.
This new shopping card, which takes up a little more space in the feed, is a big blue "Shop" button, presumably colour-customisable along with other profile features, extending further than the current design.
The card also appears to display the price pulled from the product page.
As per Twitter, the test "is the first of many experiments in the Commerce space and [the company] will enrich the experience as we learn more." Mashable reported that Twitter is expanding features and format options for a number of different types of users.
This includes the introduction of Facebook-like business profiles with integrated maps and Super Follows, which will allow the users to charge their followers for exclusive content.
Racket sports are very popular in Qatar, starting with tennis that draws to Doha the top players like Tunisian champion Ons Jabeur. The popularity of Padel is also on the rise with a growing number of dedicated infrastructure.

Angela van den Bogerd, a former senior director at the Post Office, arrived at the Post Office Horizon IT Inquiry on Thursday morning. She began with an apology on the first of her two days of giving evidence, telling the inquiry she was "truly, truly sorry" for the "devastation" caused to wrongly convicted sub-postmasters and their families. Errors in the Post Office's Horizon IT system meant money appeared to be missing from many branch accounts when, in fact, it was not.
