Twitter tests new e-commerce feature on mobile app

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- Twitter is testing a new feature Monday that could change the way people purchase items online.

The San Francisco tech giant is working on a new buy button that lets you make purchases while using the social network.

A small group of users will soon see the button on advertisements when using Twitter's mobile app.

When you hit the button, the entire buying process will be handled within the app, so users won't have to leave Twitter.

The company has not said if it gets a cut of whatever is purchased.
