LG LAUNCHES SHOP TIME APP ON LG SMART TVS
 
Use Your LG TV to Make Purchases Directly From Popular
Video Retailers QVC, HSN and Others

 

ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., October 26, 2020 — Shopping from home just became even more convenient for LG TV owners just in time for the holidays. LG Electronics USA announced today the launch of the Shop Time app exclusively on LG Smart TVs. Shop Time lets you use your TV to make purchases directly from popular multiplatform video retailers QVC and HSN and several other at-home shopping channels. The app is available now via free download on all LG Smart TVs (2016-2020), including the critically acclaimed LG OLED TV lineup, reaching millions of households across the U.S.

 

The Shop Time app is an easy way to access your favorite video shopping channels and use your LG Magic Remote to navigate from your TV to complete purchases with  retailer partners. Shop Time also makes the shopping process easier by letting you save items you’ve found, then complete your purchase when you’re ready. App users will also receive curated recommendations about other products you may be interested in.

 

Beginning today through November 30, new customers to HSN who download the Shop Time app, navigate to HSN.com and create a new account, will receive a digital coupon for $20 toward a purchase of at least $40 on HSN.com.*  

 

“We created the Shop Time app to make the digital shopping experience even easier and more convenient for LG Smart TV owners,” said Matthew Durgin, Senior Director North America Smart TV Partnerships for LG Electronics USA. “We are excited to have Qurate Retail Group, a leader in the video commerce industry, and their popular QVC and HSN networks on board to as we begin this journey.”

 

“We’re excited to join LG as the lead retailers in exploring the combination of livestream video with new purchasing options enabled by smart TVs,” said David Apostolico, SVP Platform Strategy, Development & Distribution for Qurate Retail Group. “Shop Time gives our customers more ways to buy what they want, when and where they want, and allows us to reach a whole new audience of LG viewers.”

 

LG Smart TVs with webOS deliver what you want, when you want it, hassle-free -- news, sports, entertainment, at-home shopping and more. LG Smart TV owners have easy access to popular streaming content sites including Disney+, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, YouTube, Hulu and LG’s own LG Channels featuring more than 200 channels of free content and many more.
