See every featureShoppers trust real people more than product photos. ShopIt turns your UGC, creator and TikTok videos into shoppable videos: tag products, and shoppers pick a size and add to cart without leaving the video. Show them as a video carousel, stories, a grid, a floating video and more. Product pages show each product's own videos automatically. Widgets match your theme, and you add them in the theme editor with no code.
Kinetic Studio animates your storefront two ways. Point and click on your live store to add entrance, scroll, hover, and text effects to elements your theme already has - no code, no theme edits, and deleting an animation restores everything instantly. Or add complete Motion Engine sections: scroll-driven product stories, 3D carousels and showcases, video scrubbing, liquid imagery, and animated text.
