Before You Migrate
Considering a move from CommentSold to Videeo for Shopify? Before you do, we want to make sure you’re aware of the CS features that will not be available to you in Videeo.
Please review and acknowledge these changes before continuing with your Videeo migration.
Step 1: Install Videeo
You can download Videeo from your Shopify app store. We walk you through the process in the below article:
- Install Videeo App for Shopify - Incorporate live sales, shoppable clips, and your very own mobile app
Step 2: Set Up Your Mobile App
You will need to submit a new app with Videeo.
- If you have an existing Mobile App with CommentSold, please notify our team so that we can accurately identify it. You will not need to create a new developer account or obtain a DUNS number again.
- Update invite for Videeo to Your Apple Developer Account - Invite the CS Dev Team information on your Apple Developer account. You can find the contact information in the checklist for your app submission process. Also ensure you’ve accepted any updated Apple license agreements (if applicable).
Please ensure that the below steps are completed directly after submitting your app:
- Published collections in Shopify. These collections need at least 3 active products published to your Videeo sales channel.
- Products within Collections must have images.
- Photo(s) and inventory levels for all products within the published collection.
- Published at least one (1) Popclip (For Android apps only).
Step 3: Configure and Upload Popclips
Popclips will not carry over from CommentSold. If you have Popclips you want on your mobile app and product pages, you’ll need to re-create them in Videeo. Use the linked articles below to learn how!
- Create Popclips (Shoppable videos) - With Popclips (Shoppable Video), you can create an engaging shopping experience on both your website and mobile app.
- Hide a Popclip on a Product page - Popclips appear in your mobile app Popclip feed with links to those products, and the Popclip will also appear on the product page for the linked product(s). However, you can hide a Popclip from appearing on a product page, if desired.
Step 4: Set Up Live Selling
Setting up live selling withing Videeo includes:
- Enabling Miniplayer During Installation - Installing Videeo is a straightforward process. Please ensure that pop-up blockers are disabled for your browser before installing Videeo’s miniplayer.
