In this guide i want to show you how to create "client id" for your instagram feed module . This module creates a feed with pictures from your account in instagram community. This images feed contains pictures from your account, or pictures with defined by you hashtag. You can define different hashtag for each product in your store. Due to the fact, that instagram is serious in cases related to safety - it's necessary to register own app and generate own instagram app client id number. This client id number you have to use in instagram feed module configuration page.
