Live shopping comes to mobile through Snag, a marketplace that connects buyers and sellers via real-time video streams. Shoppers can watch live auctions, place bids as timers count down, and purchase unique products spanning independent, indie, and vintage categories including beauty, fashion, and sneakers.
The platform centers around three core activities: watching live streams where sellers showcase products in real time, bidding against other shoppers during live auctions with countdown timers, and completing secure checkout with handled payments and shipping. Beyond auction-style bidding, buyers can also purchase items instantly during streams or browse products listed on the marketplace.
Sellers gain access to thousands of potential buyers through live video streams, eliminating the traditional need to create individual listings or wait for sales. Products can be sold during live broadcasts, or sellers can choose to list items on the marketplace for buyers to discover independently. The Partner Creators Program offers another avenue where selected creators showcase and sell products during their own live streams on behalf of other sellers.
Trust and security form a foundational component of the platform. Every seller undergoes a verification process designed to confirm authenticity and reliability before joining. Buyers receive protection through a comprehensive Buyer Protection policy that guarantees refunds if purchases encounter problems.
The experience targets shoppers seeking interactive, fast-paced discovery of products rather than traditional static marketplace browsing. Categories span beauty, fashion, sneakers, and various independent and vintage goods. The live format creates urgency and competition among bidders while offering sellers immediate access to engaged audiences.
Prospective sellers can apply through either the website or mobile app's "Sell" section, with customer support available at
[email protected] for questions. The platform accommodates sellers who prefer not to appear on camera, allowing them to participate through marketplace listings or the Partner Creators Program rather than hosting their own streams. Full details about policies and procedures are available through the platform's FAQ section.
