Shopify Cart Integration

If you are embedding your live shows on Shopify, you can enable cart integration for a seamless viewing and buying experience. Your audience will be able to accomplish these within the short video or playlist:

  • View product details

  • Select the product variation

  • Add to cart

  • Get redirected straight from cart to your check-out page

There are three components to accomplishing this:

  • Creating LORA Products with SKU
  • Creating your short video
  • Embedding your short video and playlists into Shopify

Creating LORA Products with SKU​

For cart integration within short videos to work, you will need to copy the unique product identifier from your Shopify dashboard to your LORA CMS Product details.

  1. From your Shopify dashboard, go in the details page of your product. Copy the string of numbers in the browser URL. This will be known as the SKU.

  1. From the same page, copy the URL in the search engine listing. This is the Product URL.

  2. Create the product in your LORA CMS. Input the name, image and price accordingly. In the Stock Keeping Unit (SKU) field, paste the SKU value which you copied in Step 1. In the ‘Product Link’ field, paste the Product URL which you copied in Step 2.

  3. Save your product and repeat for all products which you would like to add for a cart integrated short video.

Creating your short video​

Now that your products have SKU fields that match your Shopify admin product details, you can now create your cart integrated short videos and playlists.

  1. Create your short video in the LORA CMS. Upload your video, input your video title, and select the Shop CTA overlay.
  2. Select your desired Shop CTA and desired text colour.
  3. Toggle on ‘Cart Integration’
  4. Select the products you would like to add in.
note

Products with no SKU input can still be added into the short video. Products with no SKU will direct viewers to the product URL instead of opening the product details screen within the short video.

  1. You can select your desired playlist to add the short video into as well. A playlist can be made up of a mix of cart integrated and non-cart integrated short videos.
    • Playlists and short videos embedded within the same Shopify site will share the same cart.

Embedding your short video and playlists into Shopify​

Now that your short videos and playlists are ready, you can easily embed them into your Shopify pages.

  1. On your Shopify dashboard, navigate to your desired page or create a new page
  2. Within the “Content” section, click on “Show HTML”. Paste your individual short video or playlist embed code into the text editor.

  1. Once you have pasted the embed code into the HTML editor click on “Save”.
  2. To view your short videos or playlists, you will need to preview the page or save it and view as a visitor to your page.

Now that you have cart integration with short videos enabled, you can now view your conversion analytics for each individual short video. To do that, go to your Short Video gallery in your LORA CMS. Click on the Action icon and click ‘Analytics’.
