Carousels let you showcase your product videos in a horizontal section directly on the product page. They pull in all videos tagged to that specific item, such as demos, try-ons, reviews, or ingredient spotlights, and display them in an easy-to-scroll format. This gives shoppers quick access to rich visual context without leaving the page, helping them understand the product faster and make more confident purchase decisions.
Use Cases
Before and After Transformations
Ideal for beauty, skincare and home care, this use case lets shoppers swipe through compelling before-and-after clips that demonstrate real results. By placing these transformations directly on the product page, customers can immediately visualize the impact of the product and understand its effectiveness without hunting for proof elsewhere.
Real Customer Reviews
Carousels make it easy to gather all your authentic customer video reviews in one horizontal, scrollable section on the product page. Shoppers can browse multiple real-life experiences, from unboxings to detailed feedback, right where they’re considering the purchase.
