Shopify product video integration
Add videos to product pages in your Shopify store
We’ll show you how to integrate Shopify product videos on the product pages in your Shopify store in this Shopify tutorial. Product videos are a proven way to increase your store’s conversion rate and thus generate more sales. That’s why you should also prepare your product pages with vivid videos. See more in the video.
Advantages of online shopping
The advantages of online shopping are, on the one hand, being able to pursue the activity around the clock, on the other hand, saving time, it is convenient and the products are delivered to the doorstep. The disadvantage, on the other hand, can be not being able to make products really tangible for the customer. If the customer is in a retail store, he has the product in front of him. He sees how big it is, what material it’s created from, how it feels, and how it works.
Texts and images can only meet this requirement to a limited extent. However, what medium can convey some of this in a very short time is the product video. We’ve already written several articles about this, explaining the benefits, how to create them and how they can increase your conversion rate.
Shopify product video integration - how to do it
However, this article is about how to integrate product videos into your Shopify store. We will demonstrate the method that we ourselves would most likely use. There is the method to embed the video directly, but this has the disadvantages that this is not possible for every theme, the loading time is prolonged by this and you are limited to 60 seconds. We can bypass the whole thing with the following method. In your Shopify backend, go to the products and create a new one. You enter the title and the description for your product, of course, how you have to do that exactly and what to pay attention to, learn in the “Create Shopify product” blog. In fact, we now turn our attention to the media and click on “Add media from URL“. You can now embed a YouTube video here.
Embed YouTube link on your product page
Don’t worry if you don’t have a channel yet, it’s done in under 10 minutes. The videos do not necessarily have to be online. It would also suffice to set these to “unlisted”. The advantage you get is the reduced loading time. The pagespeed would go down by a directly in Shopify deposited video and thus minimize your SEO score. That’s why integrating a YouTube video is the best solution to play out the product video on the product detail page. Now that the video is integrated and our product is also set to active, we can preview it.
Shopify product video integration and SEO optimization
What you can now add is the thumbnail view. To do this, go up to the video and click“Replace Thumbnail” in the context menu and select your desired image. From an SEO technical point of view, it is also advisable to add an alternative text, which on the one hand ensures accessibility, but on the other hand is also played out in the search engines. You have successfully integrated and optimized your product video.
