Shopping Collections enables creators to handpick and organize selections of their favorite products - from their own merchandise lines or other brands - crafting a unique and personalized digital storefront for their viewers.
YouTube today introduced a new feature for creators participating in YouTube Shopping. Shopping Collections enables creators to handpick and organize selections of their favorite products - from their own merchandise lines or other brands - crafting a unique and personalized digital storefront for their viewers.
Transform Your Channel into a Boutique
The Collections feature enables creators to design themed product selections, such as:
- "Everyday Makeup Essentials"
- "Ultimate Summer Wardrobe"
- "Can't-Miss Deals for [Event Name]"
Collections give creators unparalleled control to showcase their top recommendations and create a more immersive shopping experience.
Where Shoppers Will Find Collections
These curated Collections will be prominently displayed on:
- Creator's Product List
- Store Tab
- Video Descriptions
YouTube promises even more discovery options for Collections in the future, maximizing visibility and potential engagement.
Getting Started: Mobile-First Launch
Initially, creators can set up their Shopping Collections using the YouTube Studio mobile app. Here's a quick guide:
- Open the app and tap "Earn," then "Shopping."
- Find the "Collections" section and tap "Create Collection."
- Craft your collection by choosing a cover image, title, description, and adding up to 30 products.
- Rearrange product order for optimal presentation.
YouTube assures creators that a desktop version for setting up Collections is on the way.
Inspiration Is Everywhere
