    Meta Commerce Manager is well suited for posting content to semi-targeted users; posting is easy as a few clicks once content is created. Some of the tools are very easy to use. Back-end analytics are there, although it can be expensive or complicated how far your institution wants to drill down.

    I think Youtube shopping goes well with popular beauty vloggers who review the products, while it is less helpful for service-oriented YouTubers like course providers. If they can list out their courses, then it could be awesome. Youtube Shopping is overall very helpful for both business owners and customers because business owners get loyal customers while customers can easily purchase the products without any further clarification or searching.

    Site navigation isn't the best, but there are many tools available for you to use. Plenty of data on metrics and everything else you would be looking for on a platform like this.

    You can only contact support via Facebook Messenger. They are fairly quick to respond, but cannot always help you. When items get falsely flagged as inappropriate for the platform, it is a crap shoot whether or now submitting them to be re-evaluated will pan out.

    It is inferior to all of those products, but since there are zero listing fees and zero commissions it is worth the effort to use it. I have already mentioned all of the pros & cons, so will not bother to do so again here.

    Youtube is the social platform where more audiences are present, and the content is video, so user retention is made sure. There are more chances for the YouTube audience to make a purchase decision quickly compared to other social commerce platforms. YouTube Shopping helps in customer retention, which helps to obtain increased ROI.
