Vidreelo Shoppable Video Reels

Descripción

Vidreelo lets you add short, vertical videos to your WordPress site and play them in a beautiful Instagram Reels / YouTube Shorts–style full-screen player. Visitors browse a carousel or grid of vertical thumbnails, tap one, and swipe up and down through your videos, just like a social feed.

Each reel can use a YouTube video or a self-hosted MP4, and you can tag products on it (WooCommerce products or manual products) so a “Shop” card appears right on the video. It is perfect for shoppable video, product demos, testimonials, tutorials, and social-style content.

Key Features

  • One simple shortcode[vidreelo] shows all your reels.
  • YouTube or self-hosted videos — choose the source per reel; only the field you need is shown.
  • Auto-play in the grid — both self-hosted and YouTube reels play muted as they scroll into view.
  • Instagram Reels–style player — full-screen vertical player with swipe up/down between videos, mute, and play/pause.
  • Shoppable — tag WooCommerce products (automatic image, title, price, sale price and rating) or manual products (title, price, compare price, image and link). The product shows under the reel and as a “Shop” card in the player.
  • Carousel or grid layout, columns per device, and accent color.
  • Widget — drop reels into any widget or block area, no shortcode needed.
  • Lightweight & self-contained — no external libraries or CDNs, fully responsive, works with any theme.

Preguntas frecuentes

How do I add a video?

Go to Video Reels Add New Reel, choose YouTube or Self-hosted, add the video, set a Featured Image, and Publish.

How do I show reels on a page?

Add [vidreelo] — it shows all your reels. Optional attributes: layout (carousel or grid), columns, accent (hex color), and ids to limit to specific reels.

How do I tag products on a video?

In the reel editor, open Tagged Products and add a WooCommerce product (searchable) or a manual product (title, price, image, link). A “Shop” card appears on the reel in the player.

Do I need WooCommerce?

No. WooCommerce is optional; it only enables the product picker. You can always add manual products without it.

Does it load any external libraries?

No. The player is fully self-contained, with no third-party CDNs. YouTube reels are embedded through the official youtube-nocookie.com embed only when an admin adds a YouTube URL.
