Dashery x YouTube Integration
Dashery Presents: YouTube Integration!
Attention all YouTubers! 📢
Dashery is excited to announce that we’ve just released an integration with YouTube! This allows your merch products to populate your channel’s store, and for you to feature your products in your content. You can tag products in your videos, shorts, and live streams. It’s free, easy, and will instantly boost exposure to your merch, since your products will automatically display under each video!
Eligibility: Your YouTube Channel must have a minimum of 1000 subscribers and be eligible for YouTube’s Partner Program. Your Dashery storefront must have at least 1 design published, and be opted in to Off-Site Marketing in your Account Settings.
Sell Your Merch on YouTube in 3 Easy Steps:
1. Connect on YouTube: Log in to your YouTube studio account and navigate to the “earn” section. Click on the “shopping” tab and click “connect” under the stores section. Scroll down the list to select Dashery. Check the box to confirm you agree to the Terms of Service. You’ll be redirected to our YouTube landing page.
2. Connect on Dashery: Click “Connect Now” from the landing page, which will take you to the Apps page in your account settings. Click the YouTube “Connect my account” button, and follow the prompts to get connected.
*Note: It may take up to 48 hours for your products to appear in YouTube Studio. Once your products appear, you’ll be able to add them to your videos instantly!
3. Share Your Store: Viewers watching on a small screen or in the YouTube app may not notice your new shop, so it's important to announce your YouTube merch in your videos and on your socials! And be sure to remind them every so often in the intro or outro of your videos.
What are you waiting for?! Connect now to start selling your merch on YouTube!
