YouTube allows creators to connect their online store to the platform, to promote products they sell. As of now, Woo isn’t available – only Wix, Fourthwall, Shopify, Spreadshop, Spring, and TeePublic. After spending MONTHS building an online store using WooCommerce and WordPress, I can’t integrate my shop to my YouTube channel – I’m now missing out on sales opportunities to my ever growing channel that is a MUST have.

Strongly seconded. We’ve installed Google for WooCommerce, but as I understand it this only permits us to run ad campaigns. In other words, we’d have to pay money to get our products to show up on YouTube. Am I understanding this correctly?
If this is indeed the way it works, this defeats the purpose for linking YouTube shopping to our store, which is to make money, not spend it. In YouTube shopping, products simply appear there, for free, and users can click to buy them.
Given the prominence of YouTube as a platform for reaching customers, and the fact that YouTube shopping appears to be totally free, I would think Woo would be falling all over themselves to make this integration happen. It’s disappointing to say the least that Woo is installed on how many millions of sites around the world, and does not have this feature. What is the reason for this? Is it simply developer priorities at Woo, or is there some technical reason why YouTube won’t permit the integration?
