Carousel Setup

Overview

The carousel is the primary component for displaying shoppable videos on your storefront. Which videos it shows comes from a playlist in Videoselz; how it looks and plays is set in the Videoselz Carousel block in your Shopify theme editor.

Choosing the videos (playlists)

  1. In Videoselz, go to Video Pages and click Add video to page.
  2. Under Choose a Page to Display Your Playlist, pick the homepage, a product or a collection.
  3. Under Choose Videos, select the videos to include, then save using the save bar at the top.

Each page has one playlist. On the playlist's page (Playlist videos) you can drag videos to reorder them, click Add videos to this playlist, and click Open on storefront to see it live.

For a collection playlist, you can turn on Show this playlist on products pages in this collection that don't have their own videos, so every product in the collection shows the same videos without setting each one up.

The Free plan allows 10 videos per playlist; Pro is unlimited.
