Snapchat is teaming up with Amazon.com Inc to let users of its social-media app buy products based on what they see through their smartphone’s camera lenses.
Snapchat’s mobile app opens up to a camera, which people can use to send disappearing images and videos to their friends.

If Amazon recognises the item, it will present a link to purchase it on the retail giant’s app or website, parent company Snap Inc said Sept 24 in a blog post.
