Among a host of new features soon to be rolled out on Facebook, the social media giant also announced this week it will be testing the waters of online shopping.

In an update of terms and policies (which you may have seen pop up as a notification) Facebook announced it would be making purchasing via the social media channel more convenient.

“In some regions, we’re testing a Buy button that helps people discover and purchase products without leaving Facebook. We’re also working on new ways to make transactions even more convenient.”

There’s no word yet as to which countries the feature could be tested on – but this is one we wouldn’t mind being a guinea pig for.
