Story example

As a result, your store can experience a considerable lift in conversion rate. Now, instead of browsing various pages, customers can:

  1. Open a story to view an image/video about a product being used
  2. Click on a product link directly within the story to immediately navigate to the product page (or display the product's embed modal)
  3. Do the same as above for various other stories. You can have a story for your products, customer reviews, upcoming product drops, and so on

Creating Stories

  4. You can sort media files to your liking, the story will play the media in the order you've sorted
  5. You can also sort each story to your liking. The order in which you sort a story will be shown when you create the Stories block in the builder.
