Shopify collaborates with YouTube to support content creators' sales
The partnership, which builds on an existing one with Google, will allow merchants to integrate their online stores with YouTube, which reaches over two billion monthly users.
Shopify, which makes tools for merchants to set up their online stores, launched new features to help its clients sell to other businesses and on Twitter in a bid to counter a post-pandemic slowdown in online shopping.
The company lost its prime spot as Canada's most valuable company, and its shares have lost more than three-quarters of their value so far this year as consumers return to stores.
Shopify's director of product, marketplaces, and creators, Amir Kabbara, said the partnership with YouTube would help boost the conversion rate and, in turn, the gross merchandise volume, a key success metric for the company.
Merchants can tag and pin products during live streams; show a curated list of products in a product shelf below on-demand videos; and add a store tab under their YouTube channel to feature their products.
Shopify, which has also partnered with TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, and other social media platforms, said it saw orders placed through such partner integrations quadruple in the first quarter of the year.
