## Overview

Create an engaging **Story widget** with ReelPik to showcase multiple groups of shoppable videos on your storefront.

The **Story widget allows you to create multiple Stories**. Each Story is displayed as a separate **circle** on your storefront, and each circle can contain multiple videos.

This makes the Story widget a great way to organize your videos into different topics, products, collections, or content themes.

### Step 2: Add multiple Story circles

After creating the campaign, you will see the **Stories** section.

To create multiple Stories:

1. Click **Add a new story**.

2. Enter a name for your Story.

3. Repeat the process to create as many Stories as you need.

For example, if you create:

* Story 1: for Features

* Story 2: for Feedback

* Story 3: for Discount

Your storefront will display **3 Story circles**.

> **Tip:** Use clear and descriptive Story names to help you organize your content.

### Step 3: Add videos to each Story

Each Story can contain **multiple videos**.

To add videos:

1. Select the Story you want to edit.

2. Click **Add videos**.

3. Choose your preferred video source.

4. Select or upload the videos you want to add.

When shoppers click the Story 1 circle on your storefront, they can watch these videos as part of the same Story.

### Step 5: Link products to your videos

Make your Story videos shoppable by connecting relevant products.

For each video:

1. Click **Link products**.

2. Select the products you want to connect to the video.

3. Use **Edit Products** if you want to view, remove, or rearrange linked products.

We recommend linking only products that are featured or relevant to the video.

> **Tip:** Each video can have its own product selection, so make sure the products are relevant to the specific video.

### Step 6: Save and activate your campaign

After finishing your Story setup:

1. Review your Stories and videos.

2. Make sure the correct products are linked.

3. Click **Save**.

4. **Activate your campaign**.

### Step 7: Add the ReelPik app block to your homepage **(required step)**

Creating and saving a campaign does not automatically make the video appear on your storefront. You also need to add the **ReelPik app block** to your homepage.

To add the app block:

1. Go to the **Placement** section.

2. Click **Add app block**.

3. Select **Homepage** from the supported page options.

4. Click **Continue**.

## Best Practices for Story Widgets

### 1. Create Stories with a clear theme

Group related videos into the same Story.

For example:

* **New Arrivals**

* **Best Sellers**

* **Summer Collection**

* **Customer Reviews**

* **Behind the Scenes**

This helps shoppers quickly find the content they're interested in.

### 2. Add multiple videos to each Story

A Story can contain multiple videos, so take advantage of this to provide more content without creating too many Story circles.

### 3. Keep product links relevant

Make sure the products linked to each video match the products shown or discussed in that video.

### 4. Don't create unnecessary Stories

Create additional Stories when you have meaningful content to organize.

Too many Story circles can make the widget harder for shoppers to browse.

## Important Notes

* Each **Story** represents **one circle** on your storefront.

* You need to create multiple Stories if you want to display multiple circles.

* Each Story can contain **multiple videos**.

* Videos within the same Story can be reordered.

* Products can be linked separately to each video.

* Removing a Story removes that Story from the campaign.

* You must **save and activate your campaign** for the Story widget to appear on your storefront.
