Initiate Generating Widget Code


To add the widget to your website, you need to generate the widget code of the campaign you would like to stream the videos from. To find the campaign code, login to your reel.reviews app. Once you have clicked on the campaign, go to the widget tab. Select Online Store 1.0 (Vintage theme), which will reveal the ability to generate a widget code.



Design your Widget


This is your opportunity to style your widget by tweaking its size, style and shadows. The widget size can appear as a single, double, or multi size. The multi size adjusts the amount of videos previewed based on the width of your website (from 1-5) and formats as a carousel for your visitors to scroll through your videos. The widget style can have squared corners or rounded corners. The widget shadows changes the depth of the widget, whether you go for a flat look or with a subtle shadow around the edge to lift the widget off the page.



Generate and Preview Widget


Now that you have designed your widget, click on Generate Code.

The code snippet will appear below instructions of how to add the widget to your Shopify site. There will also be a widget preview below the code snippet, so you can double check that you are happy with how it looks. The widget below is a multi rounded shadow design.

The widget needs a campaign hash, to know which of your campaigns you would like to stream the videos to. To find the campaign hash, login to your reel.reviews app. Once you have clicked on the campaign, go to the widget tab. Select Online Store 2.0, which will reveal your campaign hash.

The multi size adjusts the amount of videos previewed based on the width of your website (from 1-5) and formats as a carousel for your visitors to scroll through your videos. The widget style can have squared corners (as below) or rounded corners. The widget shadows changes the depth of the widget, whether you go for a flat look (as below) or with a subtle shadow around the edge to lift the widget off the page.
