According to foreign media reports, YouTube and e-commerce platform Shopee officially launched the YouTube Shopping feature in the Philippines, making the Philippines the sixth Southeast Asian country to launch the feature after Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia and Singapore.
This cooperation aims to improve the convenience and security of e-commerce transactions by simplifying the shopping process and enhancing the trust mechanism, which is particularly important in the Philippine market where online fraud is prevalent.
The YouTube Shopping feature allows content creators and brands to directly mark their recommended products in the video, replacing the previous method of manually listing multiple links in the video description.
These annotations not only improve the user experience, but also jump directly to the Shopee product page, simplifying the purchase process and effectively reducing the possibility of fraud. As long as the product annotations can be correctly linked to the Shopee application, the space for fraud and deception will be greatly reduced.
