Good news for brands and marketers using Shopify Store and YouTube in 2022! Both platforms have decided to partner, making it easier for users to purchase products on Shopify Store through YouTube. What are the details? This article will guide e-commerce marketers on how to connect these two platforms to boost sales. Let’s get started!
Connecting Shopify and YouTube Step by Step
Before connecting your YouTube Channel to your Shopify store, you need to meet certain requirements:
If your channel meets the above criteria, you can connect it immediately. Here’s how:
- Log in to your account on YouTube Studio
- On the left menu, select Monetization
- Click Shopping
- Click Connect Store
- Click Shopify
- Click Continue
The system will then take you to your Shopify page, where you’ll log in and select Add App to add the Google Channel to Shopify.
Next, follow these steps on Shopify:
- After adding the Google Channel on Shopify, click Add Sales Channel in the upper right corner.
- Log in to your Google Account by selecting Connect Google Account.
- Read the agreement and click Accept.
- Add your Google Merchant Center account.
- Read the agreement and click Accept.
- Click Complete Setup
At this point, both platforms will be fully connected. The final step is to connect your products so they can appear on YouTube.
- From the previous step, click Get Started
- Click Continue (make sure your YouTube channel meets the requirements)
- Select your channel
- Read the agreement and click Complete Setup
After this, the process will verify whether your products comply with Google Merchant Center policies. This may take several business days. Once completed, you will see your products appear on your YouTube Channel and can adjust them to appear in specific videos as needed.
Why Connect Shopify to YouTube?
- Increased Visibility Connecting your Shopify store to YouTube allows your products to easily appear on your channel’s videos, whether at the beginning or end of the clip. Users can adjust as appropriate.
