If you have a Shopify website and want to learn more about how the SmartVideo app for Shopify works, you're in the right place! We're adding to this guide, so check back for more helpful information later on.
Setup
If you're a Swarmify customer...
If you're a Swarmify customer, simply copy your Swarm CDN Key from your Swarmify Dashboard.
Then, paste it into the textbox in the SmartVideo Shopify app settings and click the "Save" button:
SmartVideo is now installed on your site 🎉
If you're not a Swarmify customer...
If you're not a Swarmify customer, there's no setup required in the app at all! Simply activate the app and head to your theme.
Features
If you're a Swarmify customer...
If you're a Swarmify customer, you'll have access to the complete feature set of the SmartVideo for Shopify app. In the app settings, you can turn on and off auto-conversions and auto-generated YouTube captions, change the shape of the play button and the player accent color, add a watermark or VAST advertising network, as well as generate a SmartVideo tag for use anywhere on your site.
You'll also notice a new section available to add to your site's theme. The SmartVideo section enables the easy addition of a SmartVideo anywhere in your theme/site. You can add a video from your Shopify files library, SmartVideo library, YouTube, Vimeo, Amazon S3, Dropbox, Google Drive, as well as a number of other sources. Once you've pointed SmartVideo to the source of your video and decided which playback customizations to make, your video will be ingested by SmartVideo and optimized for delivery on our global network.
If you're not a Swarmify customer...
If you're not a Swarmify customer, you'll still find our Shopify app handy! If you do not add a valid Swarm CDN Key to the app settings page, you can still make use of the theme section when customizing your theme. This will allow you to add a video from your Shopify files library to your site and customize the playback experience. The same customization options available to Swarmify customers are available to you in the SmartVideo section:
