Happy Tuesday $FIRST_NAME,
Exciting ecom recon for you on this fine Tuesday. Let’s get into it.
The NEW-NEW: Shopify x YouTube
Big News from the Mothership announced minutes ago: YOUTUBE SHOPPING.
Shopify’s new YouTube Shopping integration, brands and creators can sell products from their Shopify stores across YouTube and manage it all in the Shopify admin right alongside sales from other channels.
- YouTube Shopping is part of the Google channel in the Shopify admin. To get started, first set up the Google channel.
- Brands and creators can pin products next to videos so followers can like, subscribe, and buy.
- Inventory syncs so out-of-stock products are automatically removed.
- Picture-in-picture playback continues during checkout so viewers can watch while they shop.
