What it is and how it works
They include social posts with product tags, videos with links or embedded catalogues, live shopping broadcasts, catalogue ads and editorial content with buy buttons. Their aim is to shorten the path from inspiration to transaction.
They are part of social commerce when they occur on social platforms, but the concept is broader and also covers connected TV, media websites and digital magazines. To work, price, availability and seller information must be clear and the step to purchase must be smooth.
