Shoppable galleries
Once you paste the embed on your website and the gathered posts created by the influencers are already on your website it is time to make shoppable galleries by adding pins - links placed on your content (images, videos, carrousels). Go to the content you want and add pins that are linked to your website.
- You can also choose whether the pins to be visible or hidden. Select “Visible” if you want the Pins to be visible on top of the content in your embeds. If the “Hidden” option is active, the Pins will only be seen once a user clicks on a piece of content to see the larger version of it (alongside the caption/description).
- Open links in a new tab: Select “Yes” if you want the links in your pins to open in a new tab in the user’s browser.
An example of shoppable galleries can be seen below:
It is recommended to add shoppable galleries to pages with more traffic, such as your store's home page, product listing page, etc.
