How to add the Video Widget on your product / collection / homepage

Overview

Use this guide if you prefer to add the Videoselz video widget from the Shopify theme editor instead of using Enable in the Videoselz app (which opens the editor for you). You repeat the same pattern for product, collection, and home templates — only the template you open in the top bar changes.


Step 1: Add the Videoselz block

Add the Videoselz block on each template where you want the carousel (product, collection, and/or home). The steps below use the product template as an example — substitute the template in the dropdown for collection or homepage when needed.

  1. From your Shopify admin, go to Online Store → Themes.

  2. Find the theme you want to edit and click Customize.

  3. At the top of the theme editor, open the template dropdown in the center. The Shopify theme editor showing the template dropdown opened to select the type of page to edit
