Overview

Why stores use it

Shoppers discover products through short vertical videos. Shoppable Video Stories brings that to your own store: story bubbles at the top of a page, a video carousel or a grid, and a full screen player where shoppers swipe through videos and add the products they see to the cart without leaving the video.

Videos are hosted on your own site. There are no external calls, no visitor tracking and no monthly bill.

Features

What it does, screen by screen

01

Story bubbles and a video carousel on a store page

  • Blocks: Video story bubbles, Video carousel, Video grid and Video playlist.
  • Story bubbles. Round bubbles like Instagram Stories. A tap opens the full screen player.
  • Shortcode: [wfvs_playlist id="12" layout="bubbles"]. Layouts: bubbles, carousel, grid. Leave out the id to use the default playlist, or list videos with videos="5,8,9".
02

The full screen player with the product card and add to cart

  • Add to cart in the video. A product card with price, stock and an option picker for variable products. Products are added through the WooCommerce Store API, so the cart and the mini cart update while the video keeps playing. Choose to stay in the player, open the mini cart or go to the checkout.
  • Full screen swipe player. Swipe up or down on phones, arrow keys on desktop, a mute button and a progress bar for each video.
  • Product page videos. The videos a product is tagged in show on its product page: under the add to cart area, after the tabs, in a Videos tab, or with the [wfvsp_product_videos] shortcode. Pro

When you add a YouTube, Vimeo, Instagram or TikTok link, the player loads that service’s embed when a shopper plays the video. With Ask first on (the default), the shopper sees a Play video button that names the service before anything loads. YouTube videos use youtube-nocookie.com. Services: YouTube (Google) https://policies.google.com/privacy, Vimeo https://vimeo.com/privacy, Instagram (Meta) https://privacycenter.instagram.com/policy, TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/legal/privacy-policy.
When you tick Fetch the poster image while saving a video, your site requests the preview image once: from i.ytimg.com for YouTube, from the vimeo.com oEmbed endpoint for Vimeo, and from the tiktok.com oEmbed endpoint for TikTok. Only the video link is sent.

Questions

Frequently asked

What video files can I use?

MP4 (H.264) or WebM. Short vertical clips work best: 9 by 16 and under about 30 seconds. Large files use disk space and bandwidth on your hosting, so keep them small. Your server's upload limit is shown on the video screen.

Does it work with the Checkout block?

Yes. Products are added through the Store API, which the Cart, Checkout and Mini Cart blocks use. The classic cart works too.

Can shoppers choose a size or colour in the video?

Yes. Variable products show an option picker with live price and stock.

Does the plugin send data anywhere?

No. Videos play from your site, and stats are counted in your own database without IP addresses. A random session number kept in the browser tab stops one visit from counting many times.

Will it slow my pages down?

Only poster images load with the page, lazily. The video file loads when a shopper opens it, and the player script and styles load only on pages with a video layout.
