Instagram-style rail of tappable video bubbles that opens a full-screen player with progress bar, sound toggle, swipe navigation and a call-to-action per video. Places itself anywhere on the product page. No external libraries. This guide shows how to add the Video Stories section to the Shrine theme with Section Shop — as a native Online Store 2.0 section, customized in the theme editor, without touching Shrine's code. Shrine is a premium theme by Shrine, known for conversion-rate obsession and built-in marketing blocks — and shoppable video & stories like this one are exactly the kind of section it doesn't ship out of the box.

## Why Video Stories fits Shrine

Product-linked videos, story bubbles and reels that bring products to life. On Shrine, Video Stories slots in like any built-in section: it inherits the theme's fonts by default, picks up your color choices in the editor, and lives alongside Shrine's own sections in the picker — prefixed "SShop:" so it's easy to spot.

## Steps

1. **Install Section Shop (free)** — Add the app from the Shopify App Store. It's free, carries the Built for Shopify badge, and changes nothing in your Shrine setup until you add a section.
2. **Find “Video Stories” in the library** — Open the app and browse to it — it's in the Shoppable Video & Stories category — or use search.
3. **Click “Add to theme”** — Section Shop writes the section into your Shrine theme through Shopify's official theme API, the same mechanism Shrine uses for its own sections.
4. **Open the Shrine theme editor** — In Online Store → Themes → Customize, click “Add section”: you'll find it as “SShop:Video Stories” in the picker.
5. **Customize and save** — Adjust text, images, colors and layout. Typography follows your Shrine font settings by default — or switch the section to any Shopify font. Hit Save and it's live.

## FAQ

### Does Video Stories work with the Shrine theme?

Yes. Shrine is an Online Store 2.0 theme, and Video Stories installs as a native OS 2.0 section through Shopify's official theme API. It appears in Shrine's theme editor as “SShop:Video Stories”, alongside the theme's own sections.

### Will Video Stories match Shrine's design?

By default the section inherits your theme's fonts, so it picks up Shrine's typography automatically. Colors, spacing, images and content are all editable in the theme editor — no CSS required.

### Is Video Stories free, and what if I uninstall Section Shop?

Video Stories is free, like every section in the 164-section library. Once added it's a standard theme file: if you uninstall the app, the section stays in your Shrine theme and keeps working.
