Hey @dripmonopoly

How Do We Add Videos in Shopify?

You’ve got a few flexible options:

1. Using the Shopify video block (if your theme supports it):
Go to Customize → Add section or block → Video, then:

  • Upload your own MP4, or

  • Paste a YouTube/Vimeo link

2. Add directly in product media:
In the product admin, you can upload a video just like an image. It’ll show up in the media carousel on the product page.

3. Embed via custom HTML (anywhere):
Use an HTML block or edit code to embed:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/YourVideoID" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>

How Do We Add Size Charts?

You can do this a few different ways depending on what’s easiest for your workflow:

1. Use Shopify’s built-in “Size Chart” feature (if your theme supports it)
Many themes (like Impulse, Prestige, Dawn) offer a native “Size chart” popup or modal in product settings, just upload the chart as a page and link it via the theme editor.

2. Use Metafields
Create a product metafield for size chart content (text, page reference, or file). Then in your theme:

{% if product.metafields.custom.size_chart != blank %}
  Size Guide
{% endif %}

3. Use an App

Apps like “Kiwi Size Chart” or “Avada Size Chart” give more dynamic control if you sell many categories.

apps or changing themes
