Embedding videos on your product pages

This feature is not enabled by default. Please contact the web team and request this feature be enabled.

NOTE: The video will need to be uploaded to a third party hosting platform like Youtube or Vimeo. This cannot be achieved with the raw video file.

It is possible to embed a video on your product pages using the video's URL.

Step 2: Linking My Video

As the warning at the top of this guide states, you can only embed a video URL to your product pages. We do not currently support the upload of RAW video files.

Navigate to the Product Features window for the product you are embeding the video to and select Video URL from the list of available features.

Press Edit and then select the Custom Value: radio button, pasting in the URL for your hosted video

NOTE: If you are using a YouTube video you will need to use the /embed URL instead of the stardard /watch URL found in the address bar.

Once your product has synced to the website you will not see a video icon on the product display page which will open a popup containing your video.
