Instagram-style stories for Shopify

Round story bubbles that open a viewer of image and video slides, like on Instagram.

Saves €17/month

The problem

Shoppers scroll past banners, but they already know how to watch stories. Without them in the theme, the only option is embedding a third-party widget.

The solution

PopsSaves €17/month has a Story block. Each story has a title, a cover image shown in a round bubble, and its own slides, each an image or a video with its own duration. Clicking a bubble opens the story viewer, with a progress bar split into one segment per slide.

You set the gradient on the bubble border and the bubble size on desktop and on mobile, and group several stories in a row.

How it works

  1. Add stories

    Add Story blocks inside a group, and give each a title and a cover image.

  2. Add slides

    Add Story slide blocks to each story: an image or a video, and how long it stays on screen.

  3. Style the bubbles

    Choose the border gradient and the bubble size for desktop and mobile.

Questions merchants ask

  • Can Shopify stories include videos?

    Yes. In Pops, each slide of a story is either an image or a video.

  • Do I need an app for stories?

    No. Stories are a block built into the Pops theme, edited in the theme editor.
