Connect Storefronts

Shopify Discussion
1

Greetings -

I am new to Shopify, migrated from WooCommerce. I know what I want to do, but not sure how to execute it.

I have a couple youtubers who want to promote my product, but they don’t have access to MY shopify store shelf on their youtube channels (Only 1 Google Connection allowed).

Actual question: Is there a way to have the youtubers create their own Shopify storefronts, and add products on my store set up to dropship on their storefronts?

Not sure if this falls under the B2B or if I need to lean towards the Shopify Collab solution.

My goals are to

a) get the Youtube suggested products shelf on their videos

b) keep the money clean and trackable

Thank you for any insights.

    • Product Selection: Which products they can promote.
    • Branding Guidelines: How they should present your products on their channels.
    • Order Fulfillment: How orders will be processed and shipped.
