Retail-first live shopping that converts viewers into buyers
Channelize.io is a lightweight Live Shopping plugin popular with small Shopify and WooCommerce merchants running one-off shows — cheap, quick to install and great for testing the format.
Sprii is built for retail volume: daily and weekly shows, unified moderation across channels, comment-to-buy on FB & IG, and a customer success team that works with you show after show.
Unified backend: Run every show, replay and channel from one place — instead of a fragmented plugin setup.
Comment-to-buy: Let shoppers buy straight from the comments on Facebook and Instagram — something Channelize doesn't offer.
Real engagement tools: Polls, giveaways and in-stream overlays that actually convert, where Channelize stays basic.
Built for retail scale: Run high-frequency live shows with hands-on retail support, not a ticketing queue.
Choose Channelize.io as a starter plugin for one-off shows. Choose Sprii to scale Live Shopping as a repeatable, multichannel retail channel.
