Embedded video
Embedded video is a video clip that plays directly inside a website or product page using a small script or theme block, instead of sending the shopper to YouTube, Instagram, or TikTok. The player sits within your own layout, so the visit, the scroll, and the add-to-cart all stay on your store.

Embedded video means the clip plays inside your own pages, not on a third-party platform. The visitor stays on your domain, the player loads through a script or theme block, and the video sits next to your product copy, reviews, and add-to-cart button. There is no redirect to YouTube or Instagram.
For a store, the embed is usually a widget. It can be a carousel of clips on the home page, a vertical reel feed on the product page, or a floating bubble that follows the shopper. The clips can be tagged with products so a tap opens a price card.
Embedded video also lets you control the experience. You decide which clips show, in what order, and which products link out. The store keeps the traffic, the session, and any pixel data the platform exposes.
On beyondRegular
With beyondRegular, embedded video is the default. You add one line of script on a custom site, or switch on the theme app embed inside Shopify, and pick a format: a horizontal or vertical carousel, a reel feed, or a floating bubble that follows the shopper. Clips imported from Instagram or TikTok, or uploaded directly, get product tags that link to your existing catalogue, so prices show in INR for Indian shoppers and checkout runs through your own Razorpay, Cashfree, or Shopify Payments setup.
Common questions
Is an embedded video the same as a YouTube link on my product page?
Not quite. A YouTube link usually opens a player that pulls the shopper into YouTube's interface, with related videos and ads on top. An embedded shoppable video sits inside your page, runs on your domain, and can carry product tags that open a price card and an add-to-cart button. The shopper never leaves your store, which is the point for a D2C brand running paid traffic.
Will an embedded video slow down my Shopify store?
A good embed loads the player only when it is needed and streams the clip on demand, so the page itself stays light. On Shopify, beyondRegular installs as a theme app embed, which means you toggle it on in the theme editor and it appears in the spot you choose. You should still keep clips short and avoid stacking many widgets on one page, especially for shoppers on patchy mobile data.

Shoppable video
Shoppable video is a product video with tappable hotspots that let a shopper see a price and add the item to cart without leaving the clip. It turns a passive watch into a buying step, usually as an embedded widget on a product page, homepage, or landing page.
Interactive video
Interactive video is video a viewer can act on instead of only watch. Tappable hotspots, buttons, or choices sit on top of the clip, so a shopper can open a product, add it to cart, or jump to another video from inside the frame. In commerce, the action is usually buying.
