Publishing your shoppable videos on your Shopify pages β†’ products, homepage, reviews page, about us page, etc., has never been easier.

Step 1: Navigate to the Widgets section β†’ Select the widget that you want to install β†’ Published Widget

Create a global video playlist

You can create a global playlist with the same videos that can be used on any page of your website

If you create a global playlist with the same videos across the website, you have to set up rules for it before installing it.

You can indicate the widget to appear only on product and collection pages, for example:

For more information about rules, check this article: https://help.videowise.com/en/articles/9352362-how-to-set-up-page-rules

If you use different videos per page

You can create a playlist with different videos for different pages, simply install the widget on that specific page; no rules are needed (you will notice the Rules menu is not there anymore, as it is not needed).

You can add a new page or in the search bar, you can search for the page already added.
