Live shopping vs. shoppable video
Whatmore and LiveShoply overlap on shoppable video but start from different places. It helps to be clear about what each format does for your store.
Shoppable video
Short, pre-recorded videos placed on product pages, collection pages and your homepage, with products tagged so shoppers can add to cart from the player. They work around the clock and answer the questions photos can't: how a product moves, fits or works. Their strength is scale — every product page can have a video.
Live shopping
A scheduled live show where a host presents products in real time while viewers chat, ask questions and buy. Live shows create urgency and a sense of event: viewers can ask "what size are you wearing?" and get an answer in seconds, and live-only deals reward people for showing up. Their strength is depth of engagement and building a returning audience.
Why many stores use both
The two feed each other. A one-hour live show produces a replay that keeps selling, and a handful of 15–60 second highlights that become shoppable videos on product pages. That's the workflow LiveShoply is built around: go live, then let AI suggest the clips worth reusing. If live shows aren't part of your plans and you mainly import social content, a dedicated video app like Whatmore is a great fit — and nothing stops you running both.
Which should you choose?
Choose Whatmore if…
- You only need on-demand shoppable video from social content.
- Instagram auto-sync is your main workflow.
Choose LiveShoply if…
- You want to sell live as well, and turn shows into shoppable video automatically.
