Where to find products on YouTube
Product shelf
Below or next to eligible videos and live streams, a product shelf lets you preview items the creator features in their video. In the product shelf, you can find the items for sale and the prices. If you select an item, you may get a preview of the item directly on YouTube. Otherwise, you are redirected to the official retailer store. YouTube is not responsible for your activities and purchases made through other retailers.
By default, the order of displayed items is automated based on various factors, such as price, popularity and availability. Creators can also manually select specific items to be displayed in the product shelf for their entire channel or video.
View products from a video or live stream
While watching a video or live stream, you can browse featured products. To buy or learn more, select Shopping . A list of products will surface with links to buy.
Channel store
A channel's Store tab shows all the products that are currently displayed in the product shelf. You can view a creator's Store tab on their channel home page.
Pinned items during live streams and live purchase notifications
Any channel with a live product shelf can pin one product during their live streams.
End screens
Any channel with a live product shelf can show their products in end screens to promote their items at the end of their videos.
Store description links
If a creator uses the product shelf, they can include a URL link to their store in the video description. Click or tap the URL to get a preview of the items directly on YouTube, while the video plays. You can then click or tap the item again to go to the channel's official store and buy an item.
Browse and buy products from creators
If you're in one of the available locations, you can support some of your favourite YouTube creators by shopping for their products. Eligible creators can showcase their own products, like merch, on YouTube in:
- The creator's channel store
- The end screens of videos
- The product shelf below or next to a video or live stream
- Live streams with a pinned product
- Video descriptions with store description links
- The product overlay below a video or live stream
Creators can work with one of our supported platforms or retailers to display their products, like official branded merch, on YouTube. When you select one of their items from YouTube, it will open that item in a new tab on the retailer website. You can then browse and buy the creator's products and official merch from the retailer. Learn more about the policies that govern your purchases.
Browse and buy tagged products on YouTube
Some creators can also tag products from other brands in their YouTube videos and Shorts. If you're in one of these locations, you can browse and buy the tagged products. Shopping may show on the watch page of some videos, Shorts and live streams indicating that at least one product has been tagged. If you select Shopping
, it will display the tagged products.
If you're on a mobile device in BR, IN or US, a product shelf may surface below content in your search results or home feed. The product shelf will show products that the creator has tagged in their video. If you tap a product, you're taken to the watch page, where you can view details about the product in the engagement panel. If you're not interested in the products shown, you can dismiss this feature by tapping Close 
You can select a product to go to the individual product details page to learn more about it. On the product details page, you may also find:
