# Instagram token

It can be a little difficult to obtain an Instagram Access Token, but we're here to help. To obtain your Access Token and begin displaying your Instagram feed on your store, simply follow these easy steps.

## Step 1: Register Application on Facebook for Developers

* You must first create an app on Facebook for Developers in order to receive your Access Token. Log into [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com), go to the [Facebook Developers Account](https://developers.facebook.com) page, and select the Create App option to get started.
