WooCommerce is a popular eCommerce platform that helps you sell products and services online. You can use WooCommerce to sell physical or digital products, or even services.

If you’re selling products that need to be shipped, you can use WooCommerce to calculate shipping costs and print shipping labels. You can also use WooCommerce to accept payments and manage inventory.

one of the great things about WooCommerce is that it’s highly customizable. There are a number of ways to add videos to your WooCommerce store, and we’ll cover a few of them here.

Adding Videos to Product Pages

One way to add videos to your WooCommerce store is to add them to product pages. This can be a great way to show customers what your product looks like in action, or give them more information about how to use it.

To add a video to a product page, first edit the product in your WooCommerce dashboard. Then, scroll down to the ‘Product Data’ section and find the ‘Video’ tab. Here, you can paste in the URL of your video hosted on YouTube or Vimeo.

Once you’ve added your video URL, save your changes and view your product page. The video will appear on the page automatically.

Adding Videos with a Plugin

If you want more control over how your videos appear on your WooCommerce store, you may want to use a plugin. There are a number of plugins that allow you to add videos to WooCommerce products, including:

PRO TIP: Please be aware that WooCommerce Video may not be compatible with all web browsers. If you experience problems using WooCommerce Video, please try another web browser.

Both of these plugins allow you to upload videos directly to your WordPress site, and then embed them on product pages. This can be helpful if you don’t want to host your videos on YouTube or Vimeo.

Adding Videos with Shortcodes

If you’re comfortable working with code, you can also add videos to WooCommerce products using shortcodes. There are a few different shortcodes that you can use, depending on where you want your video to appear on the page.

  • – adds a video player anywhere on the page
  • [video_embed] – adds an embedded video anywhere on the page

To use these shortcodes, simply paste them into the ‘Product Data’ section when editing a product in your dashboard. Then, enter the URL of your video hosted on YouTube or Vimeo.

Conclusion

There are a number of ways that you can add videos to your WooCommerce store. You can add them directly to product pages, using a plugin, or with shortcodes. Whichever method you choose, adding videos can be a great way to show customers more about your products and increase sales.
