Auto-Import Instagram & YouTube Shorts to Your D2C Site

Shoplive
Shoplive's "Import from SNS" feature automatically converts Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts into short-form videos on your D2C site with just a few clicks. Reduce repetitive uploads and handle everything from content integration to performance analysis in one place.
Creating content is hard, but uploading it to multiple channels once it's made is a big job in its own right. That's because every platform has its own upload methods and content formats. With Shoplive's new "Import from SNS" feature, you can bring the short-form content you've already posted on Instagram and YouTube straight onto your D2C site and display it as-is with just a few clicks. Repetitive tasks like re-uploading files, rewriting descriptions, and resetting thumbnails disappear, so your content team can focus on "what to create" rather than "where and how to post it."
How do you bring SNS videos onto your D2C site?
Content you've already uploaded to Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts is automatically converted into short-form videos you can display directly on your D2C site — no complex editing, separate saving, or text entry required. The main features are as follows.

By using "Import from SNS" together with Shoplive's "Data Insights," you can see each piece of content's views, click-through rate, and conversion rate at a glance and clearly analyze which content drove which responses and by how much. Try it right now in the Shoplive Admin.
