Getting Started

How do I install SwipeReel on my Shopify store?

Installing SwipeReel is easy! Simply visit our listing on the Shopify App Store and click 'Add app'. Follow the prompts to authorize the app, and you'll be ready to start creating shoppable videos in minutes.

Do I need any coding knowledge to use SwipeReel?

No coding required! SwipeReel is designed for merchants of all technical levels. Our intuitive dashboard lets you upload videos, tag products, and customize widgets with just a few clicks.

How do I add videos to my store?

From your SwipeReel dashboard, click 'Upload Video' to add videos from your device. You can also import videos from URLs. Once uploaded, tag your products and add the video to a feed to display it on your store.

What video formats are supported?

SwipeReel supports MP4, MOV, and WebM video formats. For best results, we recommend MP4 with H.264 encoding. Videos should be under 100MB for optimal performance.

How do I display videos on my store?

After creating a feed with your videos, go to your Shopify theme customizer. Add the SwipeReel app block to any section and select your feed. The Free plan includes the Inline Feed widget. Upgrade to Pro to unlock all widget types including Stories, Overlay, and more.

Features & Widgets

What's the difference between the widget types?

Stories appear as circular thumbnails at the top of pages and open in full-screen mode. Carousel displays a horizontal scrolling row of videos. Floating shows a persistent button that opens a TikTok-style feed. Inline embeds a video grid directly in your page content.

Can I tag multiple products in one video?

Yes! You can tag as many products as you want in each video. When viewers watch your video, they'll see product cards they can tap to view details or add to cart.

Do videos autoplay?

Videos autoplay when they come into view, but always start muted to comply with browser policies. Viewers can unmute by tapping the video or the sound icon.

Can I customize the look of the widgets?

Absolutely! You can customize colors, sizes, positions, and more to match your store's branding. Pro users can also remove the SwipeReel branding for a completely white-label experience.

Does SwipeReel work on mobile?

Yes! All SwipeReel widgets are fully responsive and optimized for mobile devices. In fact, the Stories and Floating widgets are specifically designed for the mobile-first shopping experience.

Billing & Plans

Is there a free plan?

Yes! Our Free plan lets you use SwipeReel with unlimited videos and unlimited feeds. It includes the Inline Feed widget and basic analytics. No credit card required to get started. Pro unlocks all widget types (Inline, Overlay, Stories) and includes a 14-day free trial.

What's included in the Pro plan?

Can I cancel my subscription anytime?

Technical Support

Will SwipeReel slow down my store?

No! SwipeReel is built with performance in mind. Videos are lazy-loaded and served from a global CDN. Our lightweight player adds minimal overhead to your page load times.

Is SwipeReel compatible with all Shopify themes?

SwipeReel works with all Online Store 2.0 themes and most vintage themes. Our app blocks integrate seamlessly with the theme customizer for easy placement.

What if my videos aren't playing?

First, ensure your videos are in a supported format (MP4, MOV, or WebM). Check that the video file isn't corrupted and is under 100MB. If issues persist, contact our support team.

Can I use SwipeReel with other video apps?

Yes, SwipeReel can coexist with other apps. However, we recommend using one shoppable video solution to avoid conflicts and provide a consistent customer experience.
