How to Add Video Demonstrations for Products

Adding video demonstrations for products in CS-Cart provides customers with a visual understanding of your products. Here's how you can do it:

1. Access Admin Panel:

Log in to your CS-Cart admin panel.

2. Upload Video Files:

1. Go to Products:
   • In the admin panel, navigate to the "Products" section.
2. Edit a Product:
   • Select the product for which you want to add a video demonstration.
3. Add Video to Product Description:
   • In the product details, you can use the WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor to add content.
   • If your CS-Cart version supports direct video uploads, you may be able to use the media embed options in the editor to upload a video file.

3. Embed Videos from External Platforms:

1. Use YouTube or Vimeo:
   • Alternatively, you can upload your product demonstration videos to popular platforms like YouTube or Vimeo.
   • Once uploaded, you'll be provided with an embed code. Copy this code.
2. Add Video Embed Code:
   • In the product description, switch to the HTML or source code view in the editor.
   • Paste the embed code provided by YouTube or Vimeo.
   • Save the changes.

4. Test the Product Page:

1. View Product on Frontend:
   • Visit your storefront and navigate to the product for which you added the video demonstration.
   • Verify that the video is displayed and functional.

5. Configure Video Settings (Optional):

1. Adjust Video Dimensions:
   • If the video is too large or small, you can adjust the dimensions in the embed code for a better fit on the product page.
2. Set Autoplay or Other Video Options:
   • Depending on the platform, you may have options to configure video settings like autoplay, loop, or related videos.

6. Ensure Mobile Compatibility:

1. Test on Mobile Devices:
   • Ensure that the video displays and plays correctly on mobile devices. Make adjustments if needed.

7. Comply with Copyright Laws:

1. Check Copyright:
   • Make sure that you have the necessary rights or permissions to use any videos you upload or embed.

8. Keep Videos Updated:

1. Regularly Review and Update Videos:
   • If your products change or new features are added, update the video demonstrations accordingly.

Always refer to the official CS-Cart documentation and support resources for the most accurate and up-to-date information on adding video demonstrations for products.
