In the past months, the video platform Youtube and the e-commerce platform Shopify have reached an agreement for shopping ads. In line with the agreement, stores that provide e-commerce services using the Shopify infrastructure will be able to sell on Youtube.
Brands that integrate Youtube and Shopify stores will be able to start selling directly on Youtube. Users will be able to instantly purchase the products included in the live broadcast or content without leaving Youtube.
Store owners will be able to present their products to users on Youtube in 3 different ways:
- Live Streams: Sellers can spot, tag, or post their products in specific spots, meaning that consumers can continue to watch while they pay while watching actions like picture-in-picture playback.
- Store: The store tab, which should be on the channel of every business, is a must for the customer to see all of their products.
- Videos: You can exhibit on the product shelf under the optional videos.
