Can I advertise videos on Instagram and Facebook with a Shopify website?

[dolcebeauty]

Hi, I already have a website with Wix but I have some problems with advertising.

In Wix I cannot advertise videos to Instagram and Facebook and that's what I need! ( In Wix I can only advertise photos)

I am contacting Shopify today to find out if I change to Shopify, will I be able to advertise videos through my website with Shopify?

Thank you.

Hi, @dolcebeauty.

Welcome to the Shopify Community and thank you for sharing your question here!

To confirm, you're currently using Wix and are unable to advertise videos from Wix to Instagram and Facebook? Could you clarify if you're inquiring about advertising videos from Instagram and Facebook to a Shopify store?

When you connect your Shopify store to your Facebook and Instagram your product catalog syncs to these sales channels. You're also able to take advantage of Instagram Shopping, Facebook Marketing, Facebook Shop and Messenger. You can learn more about the capabilities between Facebook and Shopify through our Facebook · Shopify Help Center resource.

In regards to video sharing/advertising, you can add videos, images or 3D models to your product pages on Shopify. You can also add videos to your Shopify storefront through the Online Store > Themes > Customize section by clicking Add section.

If you'd like to display video content from your Instagram, you can look into third-party apps like Instafeed Instagram Feed+Story  that display your Instagram feed directly on your Shopify storefront. Another option is to look into an app called Vidjet Shoppable Videos that lets you import videos from various sources to display on your storefront.
