Spotful, a three-month-old Montreal startup, announced Thursday it is teaming up with Shopify on an e-commerce video app that is now available to more than 100,000 Shopify stores.

The new app allows Shopify stores to sync their inventory with an online video editor, giving them the opportunity to embed product information and a shopping cart inside videos.

Atlee Clark, Shopify’s app store and third-party developer ecosystem lead, said the company’s merchants are always looking for new ways to sell and reach more customers.

“Spotful is a great new app that allows our merchants to convert video viewers to sales,” Ms. Clark said in a statement.
