ICYMI, Buzzfeed is applying its expertise in story-telling and scale to selling products. Very smart and this integration/partnership with Shopify is an easy "sell" to people eager to get their products in front of more people.
Does Buzzfeed capture an affiliate fee when referring customers, @yo?
Hi everyone - Excited for the launch of this channel! It's the first opportunity for merchants to work directly with our content creators without taking on the costs of an affiliate network or PR firm. Products are easily discovered by our writers and all tracking, reporting and payouts are managed within the Shopify platform.
@rahulr047 All you need to do is log into Shopify, click the plus (+) icon next to Sales Channel and select BuzzFeed. More information on how to get started on this Shopify Blog: https://www.shopify.com/blog/buz...

@nilla_ali Hi Nilla, I just installed this new Buzzfeed sales channel to my store! I believe I have the perfect products for you guys! <3 When will I know if my products are selected?
This is really cool, but can't you just partner with Amazon, a much more reputable company, and shift a huge amount of product at the highest commission rate?
@theashtube you can certainly partner with Amazon to get your product featured on content sites, however there are major friction points for getting editors to discover your product, and also for tracking the performance of any editorial features. This direct partnership makes it much more seamless to facilitate a partnership and also to optimize any content featuring your products.
Incredibly beneficial to all involved. Helps the stores receive distribution and helps BuzzFeed continue feeding its content machine. Clever implementation!
Great idea guys, I already registered, excited to see what it can bring. I was thinking about content generation in a while now but if you can do it for me, that's worth your commission:)
