Why People Love Elfsight
Video adds a spark that turns casual visitors into buyers. With our Shopify YouTube integration, you can embed YouTube video Shopify-style, display playlists, single videos, or full channels in a gallery that looks built for your store.
It’s super fast to set up: choose a layout, link your YouTube content, adjust how it looks, paste the embed code, publish. You don’t need to be tech-savvy. If you can copy and paste, you’re good to go.
Did you know?
According to Statista, 92% of internet users watch videos monthly, and product videos often deliver stronger engagement on product pages than static images.
