How to find the appropriate link for Shopify YouTube Gallery app
There are 3 types of YouTube Channel links: Channel URL (ID-based), Custom URL (https://www.youtube.com/c/[channel]) and Handles (https://youtube.com/@channel-handle-name). Please keep in mind that our Shopify app supports only ID-based URLs.
Unfortunately, at the moment, our Shopify YouTube Gallery app doesn't support custom links. So, to make it work, you need to find an ID-based link to your channel.
You can find your Channel ID in your advanced account settings on a computer or mobile browser.
