What Channelize is
Channelize lets ecommerce brands add live shopping and shoppable videos to websites and apps. Live shows support product promotion and spotlighting, add-to-cart, live chat with pinned messages, analytics, a mini player, and custom RTMP. Shows can also be broadcast simultaneously to Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and Twitch. Shoppable video widgets support multiple products, an in-video cart, embedding across multiple pages, shareable links, and analytics. The platform lists pre-built integrations for Shopify, Magento, WooCommerce, PrestaShop, Wix, and Shoplazza, and provides APIs, SDKs, and UI kits for custom web and mobile integrations. It supports product catalog sync but not native social checkout. Channelize is available on web, iOS, Android, and through an API. Plans include a set amount of viewing time, with extra usage charged per 1,000 Growth Minutes at a plan-specific rate. The Start Here plan is $9,781 a year and includes 180,000 viewing minutes; additional usage costs $12 per 1,000 Growth Minutes. There is no free plan, but a 14-day trial is listed.
