Amplify visual allure, product discovery, and interactive shopping, fostering a vibrant, engaging user experience.

  3. Product Page Galleries

This article explains how to add Shoppable Galleries to your store:

1. Shoppable Galleries

This is an example of a shoppable gallery using the 'Grid' style

When a customer clicks on one of the images or videos in the grid they see the 'lightbox' view containing tagged products in the image with direct links to buy them from their product pages.

Getting started with Shoppable Galleries

  1. In your dashboard click on the top menu:
    Shop the Feed > select Shoppable galleries

2. Get the look you want

Within the left-hand settings menu, you can customise the gallery's display settings and appearance.

Instant Preview: Settings and Reflections

Edit settings on the left to see the transformation in the preview on the right, making adjustments a breeze. For instance, modifying the number of columns in the gallery is visually represented in real-time on the right. This intuitive setup allows for immediate feedback, ensuring your gallery is tailored to perfection before going live.

Interactive Image Preview

Every image is clickable, offering a preview of the customer's view in your store. This feature allows you to step into your customers' shoes, ensuring that what you present aligns with how you wish to showcase your products. Explore and click through to fine-tune your gallery, ensuring a seamless shopping experience for your audience.

Dynamic Video Previews:

Not just static images, videos too come to life in the previews. This feature allows you to experience the playback, ensuring your videos are displayed to perfection. It’s all about providing a realistic glimpse of how videos will interactively engage your customers, enhancing the vibrancy and appeal of your gallery even before it goes live on your site.

3. Embedding the Gallery on Your Website

Transitioning your gallery onto your website is a straightforward process. Simply copy the provided embed code, which is primed for embedding, and paste it onto any desired page of your website. This step is the bridge that takes your curated gallery from the Sauce platform to your website.

4. Seamless Gallery Embedding and Updates

Paste the embed code into your webpage's HTML box, then save the page. Now, browse it live on your site's front end. Any gallery updates made in Sauce will reflect automatically on your webpage, without needing a new embed code. This seamless update mechanism ensures your gallery remains current with every tweak, effortlessly reflecting all changes on your live webpage.

Example below shows Shopify's page editor:

Continuous Gallery Updates and Design Tweaks

Your gallery dynamically updates as you add more shoppable photos and videos. For design alterations, simply adjust settings within your Shoppable Galleries editor; there's no need to update the embed code. Your changes will auto-reflect wherever the widget is embedded, maintaining a fresh, engaging gallery without any additional embedding steps, making your gallery a living aspect of your webpage that evolves with your content.
