Camerce Smart Reels – Shoppable Product Videos for WooCommerce

Beskrivelse

Camerce Smart Reels turns the videos you already have into a shoppable video gallery for your WooCommerce store.

Upload a video, attach it to a product, and place it on a product page, a landing page or a post. Shoppers tap a video, it opens in a full screen player with the product beside it, and they can add to cart without leaving the page.

See it running on a real store: live demo.

What you can build

  • Video grids – a tidy grid of product videos, with configurable videos per row
  • Modern card design – a clean product card over each video
  • A full screen player – opens on tap, swipe between videos in the gallery, sound and play controls

Selling from the video

  • Quick add to cart straight from a video card
  • Product panel in the player showing price, rating, description, gallery images and related products
  • Variable products are supported: pick the variation inside the player and add it to the cart
  • Live cart count updates as shoppers add items

Placing your videos

  • Show a gallery on all products, or only on products you pick
  • Choose the hook position on the product page
  • Choose which WooCommerce hook the gallery attaches to

Customising the look

  • Play button colour, size, position and animation
  • Accent and secondary colours
  • Autoplay
  • Show or hide product rating, related products and the more-info button

No account, no external service

Camerce Smart Reels does not phone home. It makes no external HTTP requests, requires no API key and creates no account. Your videos are stored in your own WordPress media library.

Requirements

  • WordPress 5.6 or higher
  • WooCommerce 5.0 or higher
  • PHP 7.4 or higher

Upgrade to Pro

Smart Reels Pro is a separate paid plugin that adds:

  • Carousel display – a swipeable row, with arrows, partial-view peeking and auto scroll
  • Three more card designs – Classic, Overlay and Title only
  • Autoplay on hover
  • Shortcode placement – drop a gallery on any page or post
  • Stories – a tappable highlight bar of grouped videos
  • Reel Pops – a floating video widget that follows shoppers around the store
  • Video import – bring videos in from a source URL
  • Layout analytics – views, clicks and conversions per gallery

Everything described in the Description above works fully in this plugin, with no caps and no time limits.

FAQ

Can I see it working before I install it?

Yes. The demo store runs this plugin on real products, with the videos attached and the cart working.

Does this plugin require WooCommerce?

Yes. Camerce Smart Reels attaches videos to WooCommerce products and adds them to the cart, so WooCommerce must be installed and active.

What video formats can I use?

Anything the visitor’s browser can play from your media library. MP4 (H.264) is the safest choice and plays everywhere.

Where do the videos come from?

You upload them to your own WordPress media library. Camerce Smart Reels does not download or import video from anywhere else.

Does it send any data off my site?

No. The plugin makes no external HTTP requests at all.

How do I choose where the gallery appears?

Create a Playlist layout, choose the products it applies to, and pick the position on the product page. Placing a gallery on any page or post with a shortcode is part of Smart Reels Pro.

Can I show different videos on different products?

Yes. Create one layout per group of products and set each one to display on the products you choose.

Does it work with variable products?

Yes. The player shows the variation selector, and the shopper can pick a variation and add it to the cart without leaving the video.

Will it slow my site down?

The plugin’s scripts and styles load only on pages that actually show a gallery.

Can I use it with a page builder?

Galleries attach to WooCommerce product pages. Placing one anywhere with a shortcode is part of Smart Reels Pro.

Can I use videos from YouTube, TikTok or Instagram?

Not in this plugin. Camerce Smart Reels plays videos you have uploaded to your own media library. Importing from a source URL is part of Smart Reels Pro.

Does it work on phones?

Yes. On a phone the gallery stacks to fit the screen, and tapping a video opens a full screen player you swipe through, with the product and a Shop Now button over the video.

Can I change the order the videos play in?

Yes. Open the layout and drag the rows in Attached Reels into the order you want.

Do the videos play on their own?

Not by default. You can turn on autoplay, or autoplay only while the shopper hovers a card, in the layout’s display options.

What happens to my reels if I deactivate or delete the plugin?

Nothing is deleted. Reels and layouts are stored as ordinary WordPress content, so they are still there if you reinstall.

Is the plugin translation ready?

Yes. All strings use the camerce-smart-reels text domain and can be translated through translate.wordpress.org.
