Shopify (NYSE:SHOP) stock is on the move Thursday as investors react to news of a partnership with Alphabet’s (NASDAQ:GOOGL, NASDAQ:GOOG) YouTube.
Let’s go over everything investors need to know about this deal.
- This partnership has YouTube allowing eligible channels to feature their own merchandise on their page.
- That lets them link to their Shopify stores, which includes real-time data on the supply of goods.
- With this feature, content creators in the U.S. can allow viewers to purchase their merchandise without ever leaving YouTube.
- This partnership also gives creators more control over how their products show up on their channels.
- In addition to that, creators can also tag products during livestreams and videos.
- This makes it so that viewers can get direct links to these products while watching.
- That doesn’t have to be goods from the channel and can instead be from other brands.
- This is all part of YouTube’s plan to beef up its platform as a destination for purchases to take place.
- That would help it generate extra revenue, as well as bring in more money for content creators, as well as e-commerce companies, such as Shopify.
