Live shopping: the next big thing in e-commerce?


Streaming is a huge part of our life, whether it is to watch movies, listen to music or checking out our favourite gamers. Now, it is being used in the commerce industry as well. Live shopping has become a thing and it might soon turn into a trend.

This idea is being advocated by PopShop Live. This is an e-commerce platform that allows sellers to market their products and connect to customers via streaming videos. The company has just announced that it has raised nearly $3 million through a funding round led by Floodgate and Abstract Ventures. Other firms such as Long Journey Ventures, Cyan and Scott Banister, Shrug Capital, Backend Capital and Halogen Ventures have also participated. Now, the firm has a total capital of $4.5 million.

This e-commerce marketplace is founded by Danielle Li. It is a reimagining of the Home Shopping Network, or QVC. Individual sellers and brands just have to get to the platform to create and host their own shows. Moreover, PopShop Live can integrate with Shopify to help sellers manage their inventory and POS during the live stream without any additional hassle.
