VidShop – Shoppable Videos for WooCommerce

Shoppable videos for WooCommerce, TikTok-style

VidShop adds a swipeable product video gallery to your WooCommerce store — like a TikTok feed of your products. Customers swipe through videos, tap a product they like, and check out without leaving the player.

It fits any store that sells visual products: fashion, beauty, electronics, or home décor.

What VidShop does

• Swipe between videos like a social feed, so browsing feels like an app instead of a product grid.
• Buy inside the video. The cart and checkout open right in the player.
• See what’s working: views, watch time, likes, and add-to-carts.
• Built for phones first, and it works on desktop with a mouse.
• No code to set up.
• Runs on the WooCommerce products you already have.
• No footage? Make a product video with AI from a product photo.
• Works with AI assistants like Claude over MCP, so you can ask for your analytics or publish a draft from a chat (details below).

• Save it and embed it anywhere with one small shortcode: [vidshop id="123"]

AI video generation

Generate shoppable videos with AI when you don’t have footage. Pick a WooCommerce product, choose a style, and VidShop builds a short vertical video from its image, then saves it to your library as a draft linked to that product. You review it and publish when it looks right.

• A built-in AI video generator turns a product photo into a short vertical video
• Choose a style template, or let Auto match one to the product
• Set the length and pick background music or silent
• Finished videos save to your library as drafts, linked to the product
• A progress banner tracks renders while you keep working
• Your first video is free with a WPCreatix account; VidShop Pro covers ongoing generation

Branding

• Colors that match your store
• Responsive layouts
• Works with touch and mouse

Setup in four steps

1. Add your video. Upload it or paste a URL, then set a thumbnail.

2. Connect products. Pick the WooCommerce products to link.

3. Build a video feed. Choose which videos to show, the layout, and the colors — with a live preview.

4. Go live. Paste the feed’s shortcode anywhere on your site.

Example shortcodes:
[vidshop id="123"]
[vsfw-videos videos="all" type="grid" color-schema="#1e40af"]
[vsfw-videos videos="123,456,789" type="carousel" color-schema="#e11d48"]
[vsfw-videos videos="all" type="inline" color-schema="#10b981"]
[vsfw-videos videos="all" type="stories" color-schema="#1e40af" autoplay="yes" loop="yes"]

Performance and compatibility

• Lazy loading and caching for speed
• Works with common caching and CDN plugins
• Mobile-first, responsive design
• Clean code with hooks for developers
• Translation-ready

Works with AI assistants like Claude and Cursor (MCP)

VidShop registers its admin operations with the WordPress Abilities API, which is part of WordPress core since 6.9. Add the free MCP Adapter plugin from the WordPress project and MCP clients that sign in with a WordPress Application Password (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor) can work with your store’s videos in plain English. Verified with Claude Code.

What an AI assistant can do:

• List your videos, with the products attached to each, and open one with its full product details
• Rename a video, swap its thumbnail, publish or unpublish it, and attach products
• Restore a video from the trash
• List your saved video feeds with their shortcodes; rename one, change its status or its display settings
• Read analytics: views, likes, watch time, add-to-carts, top videos and products, site-wide or per feed
• Check the AI connection: plan, credit balance, the credit price per video length, and what is rendering right now
• Read the plugin settings

Try prompts like:

“Which videos had the most add-to-carts this month?”
“Publish the draft video for the blue hoodie and attach the matching hat.”
“Give me the shortcode for the homepage feed.”

What it deliberately cannot do:

• Trash a video or start an AI render. Trashing destroys, and a render spends credits, so both are off MCP by default. If you want them, you expose them yourself with a few lines of code; the plugin never does it for you.
• Create a video, permanently delete one, empty the trash, create or delete a feed, connect the cloud account or change settings. None of these are offered to agents at all. They stay in wp-admin.
• Act as anyone but an administrator. Every operation checks the administrator capability, and a filter can require more than that, never less.

What you need: WordPress 6.9 or newer, the free MCP Adapter plugin (not bundled with VidShop and not required), and a WordPress Application Password for a dedicated admin user (Users > Profile > Application Passwords). On the same machine, WP-CLI works too. Nothing changes for sites that skip this: on older WordPress, or without the adapter, VidShop runs exactly as before.

Who it’s for

• Fashion and apparel: show clothes moving on a person
• Beauty and cosmetics: before-and-after and how-to-use clips
• Home and décor: products in a real room
• Electronics and tech: features and unboxing
• Lifestyle products: the kind of thing people buy after seeing it used
