The partnership brings AliExpress's global product selection into YouTube's creator ecosystem, giving eligible creators access to a wide range of products to feature in their content, along with new commission-earning opportunities. Following the launch of the collaboration in South Korea in March 2026, the partnership will expand to four markets: the United States, Brazil, the United Kingdom and Germany. Further expansion will take place in phases, in line with the rollout of YouTube's affiliate program in new markets.

Creators will be able to discover and select AliExpress products directly within YouTube Studio. The integration connects AliExpress products with YouTube's three major content formats—long-form videos, Shorts, and livestreams—allowing creators to tag shoppable product recommendations across key moments of audience discovery and
