What does ReelUp do on a Shopify store?
ReelUp turns short social videos into shoppable content on your storefront. It imports reels, stories and feed videos from TikTok and Instagram, then plays them as a carousel, an Instagram-style stories strip, or a widget on the product page. Products can be tagged inside each clip, so a shopper can add an item to the cart while watching rather than leaving to find it.
-
Is ReelUp free to use?
ReelUp has a free plan that covers a small number of monthly video views and a limited set of uploaded videos, which is enough to test shoppable video on a few pages. Paid plans are billed monthly and raise the view cap along with other limits. Because the tiers are metered by views rather than catalogue size, a high-traffic store moves up the plans faster than a quiet one.
-
Can ReelUp import videos from TikTok and Instagram?
Yes. ReelUp is built around content you have already posted, so it pulls in reels, stories and feed videos from TikTok and Instagram instead of asking you to film for the site. Once imported, a clip can be tagged with products and placed on the storefront, which is what turns a social video into a shoppable one.
-
Does ReelUp slow down a Shopify store?
ReelUp adds a video player and its script to the page, so like any media app it has some weight. The player is tuned to autoplay on mobile and desktop without stalling the page, but the honest check is your own store: add video to a couple of product pages and watch your load times and conversion before rolling it across the catalogue.
-
How does ReelUp make a video shoppable?
Inside the player you tag the products that appear in a clip. A shopper watching the video sees those items and can add them to the cart without leaving the video, which shortens the path from watching to buying. This is the main difference between ReelUp and a plain video gallery, where the clip plays but does not sell directly.

Which stores get the most out of ReelUp?
Stores whose products sell on demonstration, styling, fit or an unboxing tend to gain the most, because a short video answers a question a photo cannot. Fashion, beauty and accessories are common fits. A catalogue of commodity or purely functional items usually sees little lift, since video adds little to a product a shopper already understands from a photo and a spec.
