\nCan VidShop create videos for me with AI?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. Connect a free WPCreatix account, pick a product, and VidShop generates a shoppable video from its image. Your first video is free; VidShop Pro covers ongoing generation.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Do I need video editing skills?<\/h3><\/dt>\nNo. Upload videos you already have, link products, and publish. Or let the AI generate one from a product photo.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Can people buy without leaving the video?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. The cart and checkout open inside the player.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Is swiping mobile-only?<\/h3><\/dt>\nSwiping is built for touch, but desktop visitors can navigate with the mouse.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Does it support variable products?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. Customers pick variations inside the video.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Where can I show videos?<\/h3><\/dt>\nAnywhere shortcodes work: pages, posts, and widgets.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Will it slow down my site?<\/h3><\/dt>\nIt shouldn't. Videos lazy-load and the assets are kept small.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
