Firework embeds shoppable video, livestream events, and 1:1 video chat into brand-owned sites, letting merchandising teams replicate store-floor interaction on product pages. Retailers use it to run live selling shows, route qualified shoppers to human associates, and repurpose UGC or studio footage into short-form clips. The buyer is typically a DTC brand or enterprise retailer in beauty, fashion, or CPG looking to lift PDP conversion beyond static imagery.
> pick this if
Pick this if you're a beauty, fashion, or considered-purchase retailer with in-house content or store associates and want video commerce running on your own domain rather than a marketplace or social channel.
> look elsewhere if
Look elsewhere if you're a sub-$5M GMV brand without content production capacity, sell low-consideration commodity SKUs where video won't shift conversion, or need a lightweight product-video widget rather than a full live-commerce and clienteling platform.
