Youtube Shopping x Shopee: What It Is and How to Use It

Let’s be honest—how many times have you watched a creator rave about an amazing product, only to get lost in a maze of links trying to find it?

Most of us go to YouTube to watch vlogs, beauty tutorials, and the latest MV drops from our favorite artists. But now, the platform is expanding beyond entertainment into the e-commerce space. Gone are the days when we had to visit multiple websites to find our favorite creator’s recommended products. Now, we can finally check out those “link in bio” products on Shopee via YouTube Shopping.

What is YouTube Shopping?

YouTube Shopping is an affiliate program that allows businesses and content creators to directly promote products within YouTube content, YouTube videos, Shorts, and livestreams. Creators can now seamlessly integrate shopping opportunities into all their content formats.

Youtube Shopping x Shopee

The program was recently launched in the Philippines and with Shopee as its exclusive partner, business owners and content creators are able to connect and drive sales effectively by leveraging the growing video commerce platform. When products are tagged within YouTube content, viewers can easily view these products and are directed to the merchant’s store on Shopee.

How it works for Viewers:

Shop While Watching a Video or Livestream

Through YouTube Shopping, you can now browse featured products while watching content.

  • If the creator has tagged products in their video, you’ll see a shopping bag icon or a “View Products” button. 
  • Click it and a preview list pops up showing all the featured products, their prices, and direct links to the merchant’s Shopee store. 
  • Some creators use timestamped tagging, so if they talk about a product at a specific time, you can click the item exactly when it appears in the video.

Get exclusive Shopee Discounts for YouTube Shoppers

YouTube Shopping users can get up to 20% off Shopee vouchers with a minimum spend of ₱200, capped at ₱600. That’s perfect for getting deals on your favorite content creators’ recommended products!

Shop from verified Shopee merchants

By shopping through verified YouTube and Shopee channels, you reduce the risk of getting scammed. No more sketchy links from random comment sections or fake Instagram shops.

How it works for Content Creators:

Earn Commissions Through Affiliate Links

Through the affiliate program, you can now recommend your favorite products and earn commissions on successful sales. It’s a win-win: your audience discovers great products, and you get rewarded for valuable recommendations.

Get a ₱20,000 Onboarding Bonus and Exclusive Discounts

New creators joining the program get a one-time onboarding incentive. You can also get access to Shopee vouchers offering up to 20% off with a minimum spend of ₱200 (capped at ₱600).

Easy Product Tagging

No more long lists of links in the description box. With YouTube Shopping, tagging products is a simple in-platform process. Choose items from Shopee’s wide range of products, link them to your video, and you’re done.

Official Support from Shopee

Access live helpdesks, resources, and weekly training sessions to help you succeed. Shopee runs a weekly 30-minute online workshop every Friday where creators can:

  • Learn how to become a YouTube Affiliate.
  • Access live helpdesk support.
  • Get guidance on tagging products and earning commissions.

For questions, creators can email ShopeePHYouTubeCollab2@shopee.com.
