If you integrate Shopify into your YouTube channel, you can use these features on YouTube:
Let’s take a look at each feature!
By integrating Shopify into your YouTube channel, your viewers can purchase your product while they watch the live streaming. While you explain your product features or show product appearances, your viewers can go to your product page directly from the YouTube browser or YouTube app as soon as they like the product.
YouTube viewers can experience a seamless transition from YouTube to the Shopify store by integration. For example, if an influencer introduces makeup products, you can put the product image of cosmetics and the URL below the video.
A store tab can be added to your YouTube channel. Your subscribers or channel fan can browse your product from the store tab.
This store tab is connected to your Shopify store so you don’t need to manage this page. If your product is sold out on the Shopify store, the product is automatically hidden from the viewers. Inventory and sales information can be managed from the Shopify admin as you do as usual.
