Adding a Video to the WooCommerce Product Gallery

The WooCommerce product gallery showcases product images, offering various views, colors, or styles to help shoppers make informed decisions. Enhancing this gallery with a video provides an engaging way for customers to see the product in action.

This guide explains how to add video to the WooCommerce product gallery step by step.

Why use product videos in a WooCommerce store?

Videos bring products to life in ways photos and text cannot, helping customers connect with and trust your product. Here are the benefits:

• Reduces product returns. Accurate videos set realistic expectations, reducing returns.
• Keeps visitors on your page longer. Videos capture attention, increasing engagement.
• Boosts conversion rates. Videos help customers make confident buying decisions.
• Sets your store apart. Videos differentiate your store, giving it a modern feel.
