YouTube Shopping: Tag & Sell Products from Your Store
Things to keep in mind
To promote and sell your own products (like merch) on YouTube, while earning money:
- Fit the eligibility criteria for YouTube Shopping features.
- Set up and connect your store or stores to YouTube. These include major shopping platforms such as Shopify, Spring, and selected retailers.
- Tag the items that you want to promote. You can then decide where and in what order you want them displayed to your viewers. You can select products from your store that you want to show on your channel, or let YouTube automatically select them for you.
Viewers can view tagged products directly from your channel’s store through the video, without having to leave YouTube.
