Product Tagging
Also called: tagging products, tag products in video
Tagged products surface as a shopping button on long-form, a sticker on a Short, and a product shelf under or beside the player, with items pinned as you talk about them during a live stream. You can tag your own store's products, or other brands' products for commission through YouTube Shopping's affiliate programme. The affiliate side needs Partner Program membership and is open in a limited list of countries, which is the part that catches out creators outside them. Ceilings sit at 60 tagged items on a video or Short and 30 on a live stream. Tagging is paid promotion, so the same disclosure rules apply as on any sponsorship.
