Updated November 4, 2026

The Video carousel block shows up to five video thumbnails. A tap opens the video larger. Videos must be uploaded to Shopify. YouTube and TikTok links don't work here.

Before you start

You need Section Store Plus or its free trial.

Add the block

  1. In Shopify admin, open Apps → Section Store → Conversion Blocks.
  2. On the Video carousel card, click Edit In Theme.
  3. Pick your theme. Your live theme has a green dot.
  4. The theme editor opens on your product template with the block added.
  5. Drag the block where you want it.

Add your videos

  1. In Shopify admin, open Online Store → Themes.
  2. Click Customize on your theme.
  3. Open your product template.
  4. Select the Video carousel block. If the theme editor is already open from the steps above, start here.
  5. Under Videos, click Video #1 and upload or pick a video.
  6. Repeat up to Video #5.
  7. Set Slider: None, Arrows or Progress bar.
  8. Set Modal: None, Side or Full modal.
  9. Set Autoplay: Yes or No.
  10. Click Save.

The theme editor shows sample videos until you pick your own. Your store shows nothing until you do.
