As the world recovers from Covid and is eager to rediscover the world, businesses can use livestreaming to engage audiences globally in a new and exciting way. Being able to share your stories, your insights and enabling users to interact and shop all in the same marketplace has the potential to transform businesses of all sizes. According to Forbes, livestreaming creates more trust with customers, who see the hosts of the stream as experts.
Shopstream’s vision is to enable the best in class live social shopping experience for brands and consumers globally to build a rich and deep engagement. The company does this by providing merchants with an interactive livestreaming video technology and a suite of ecommerce software services in one fully integrated platform.

Companies are often doing these live shows as experimental one-offs. A pain point for consumers is having to go from individual Apps to web touchpoints to enjoy these shows, Shopstream brings these all together on an interactive video technology much like watching entertainment streams on Netflix” – Chief Technical Officer Joe Cheung
