Stage TEN and Shopify Launch Live Video Commerce in Shopify’s Shop app

Stage TEN and Shopify announce the introduction of live video shopping in the consumer-facing Shop app of Shopify, providing businesses with a potent new means of connecting with customers for in-the-moment, conversational commerce experiences.

For Shopify’s new “Shop Minis” initiative, where best-in-class technologies can expand functionality straight into the Shop app environment, Stage TEN was chosen as the live video commerce alpha partner. Currently, the integration is the only way for retailers to create a live video commerce channel in Shop and connect with their enormous network of engaged customers.

For live stream retailers and merchants, Stage TEN’s Shop Live channels give them access to a ready-made audience network of consumers. Stage TEN’s Shop Live channels open the door to a $1.2 trillion global live commerce sector, with live shopping expected to account for 20% of all ecommerce sales by 2026.

The Shop app now makes it available to a global community of interested customers who can tune-in, communicate with merchants in real time, and check out right on screen, directly in the Shop app, when a merchant goes live with Stage TEN’s Live Creator Suite.

“Discovery changes everything. One of the biggest barriers to mass adoption of live commerce outside Asia has been the ability for merchants to gather an audience for their live shopping streams. With Stage TEN’s Shop Live channels, merchants can instantly notify a massive network of qualified buyers in an app they already use.

Dave Lazar, CEO, Stage TEN

“With a tap, audiences are immersed in an interactive experience — talking with merchants and buying on screen. Imagine having a real person thank you in real time when you buy online. That’s conversational commerce.”

A first-of-its-kind opportunity for merchants to connect with customers in an ultra low latency environment where transactions become real-time conversations between the seller and the buyer is made possible by the integration of the Stage TEN Interactive Player and Real Time Content Delivery Network in Shop.

“Stage TEN has been a great addition to the Shop Minis developer program and a wonderful alpha partner. Working with the team to bring live video commerce to the Shop app has been really exciting, especially seeing the reaction from our user base. The Stage TEN Shop Mini gives merchants more ways to connect with their customers on a native mobile channel, and we’re looking forward to watching more merchants go live and driving live commerce sales.”

Atlee Clark, Director of Operations, Shop

Social commerce is entirely different from the Stage TEN Shop Mini. When you stream to social media, it streams slowly, and viewers typically have to leave the content to make purchases. Real-time purchases can be done in the player on the merchant’s channel thanks to Stage TEN’s integration with the Shop app.

“We’re thrilled to have been selected to bring Stage TEN’s live video commerce platform into the Shop app”, “Providing Shopify’s amazing array of merchants this breakthrough technology will bring the world’s next great live shopping network to life on Shop.”

Dave Lazar, CEO, Stage TEN
