How to Create a Dynamic YouTube Video Slider in Shopify

 A visually engaging website can make all the difference in capturing customer attention and increasing conversions. One powerful way to achieve this is by adding a dynamic YouTube video slider to your Shopify store. A video slider can showcase your brand’s story, highlight product features, or share customer testimonials, all in an interactive format. In this blog, we’ll walk you through the step-by-step process to create a YouTube video slider in Shopify.





Why Add a YouTube Video Slider to Your Shopify Store?

Before diving into the technical steps, here are a few reasons to add a video slider to your site:

  1. Enhanced User Engagement: Videos are more engaging than static images or text. They grab attention and convey more information in a shorter time.
  2. Improved SEO: Embedding YouTube videos can boost your website’s SEO as videos keep visitors on your page longer.
  3. Mobile-Friendly Content: Video sliders are responsive and look great on all devices, ensuring a seamless shopping experience.
  4. Showcase Brand Identity: Videos can tell your story, demonstrate product use, and build trust with your audience.

Add a Video Slider Section to Your Theme

To manually add a video slider, you’ll need to edit your theme code.

1. Log in to Shopify Admin:

  • Go to Online Store > Themes.
  • Click on Actions > Edit Code for your active theme.

2. Create a New Section:

  • In the left sidebar, under the Sections directory, click Add a new section.
  • Name the section youtube-video-slider

Full Code

    padding-top: {{ section.settings.padding_top | times: 0.75 | round: 0 }}px;
    padding-bottom: {{ section.settings.padding_bottom | times: 0.75 | round: 0 }}px;
  }
