Video

The Video section allows merchants to display promotional videos, brand stories, tutorials, campaign content, or product showcases directly on the storefront. This section supports both Shopify-hosted videos and external video embeds from platforms such as YouTube or Vimeo, providing flexible video presentation options for different marketing purposes.

The section is designed to create visually engaging media experiences while remaining fully responsive across all devices.
