Do you have products that have audio aspects to them? Perhaps you sell CDs of your own music, or you have products that contain a musical element. You might want to include a preview of these sounds on your Shopify store.<\/p>\n

Or, perhaps you\u2019ve moved into podcasting and would like to showcase your shows on your website. The more people that view the content on your website, the better the results might be from your website.<\/p>\n

With Shopify, you\u2019re allowed to insert audio files within the rich text editor to any part of your content. This allows you to showcase the content that you would like to promote and give customers a sneak peek of what to expect. There are lots of factors that can cause problems, but these can be easily overcome with Shopify\u2019s advanced features and customization options.<\/p>\n

Moreover, it can be easier for customers to contact you via phone link for support or inquiries. This can be particularly useful if you\u2019re setting up a recurring order business, as customers may have questions about their subscriptions or need assistance in managing their orders.<\/p>\n

There are also apps that can help you. For instance, you could use this app to add media players to your website. However, if you want to do it for free, here are some instructions for you. Explore other customization options on Shopify<\/a>.<\/p>\n
