eCommercePlayer's Biggest Update Ever: What's New

Chris Montgomery

A complete rebuild

We've completely rebuilt eCommercePlayer from the ground up โ€” not just the website, but the entire backend system that handles uploads, encoding, and player delivery. The core mission is the same โ€” making it easy to add audio and video to your e-commerce listings โ€” but the experience and quality just got a whole lot better.

Here's a look at everything that's changed.

A fresh, modern design

The entire site has been redesigned with a clean, modern interface that works beautifully on any device โ€” phone, tablet, or desktop. We've also added a dark mode toggle for anyone who prefers a darker interface, available on every page.

Before and after: the evolution from old cluttered interface to clean modern design

Drag-and-drop uploads with better quality

Uploading media is now as simple as dragging a file into your browser. We support over 25 video and audio formats, and files upload directly to the cloud for speed.

We've doubled the quality of both video and audio encoding โ€” listings now look and sound significantly better than before.

Whatever format your footage came off of, there is a good chance it works without any conversion.

A smarter media library

The media library now includes search, sorting, and status filters โ€” so finding a specific clip is quick even if you have hundreds. Building a playlist is as easy as dragging clips into the order you want. No more scrolling through an unordered list trying to remember which file is which.

Bulk delete

Built up a library of old clips over the years? Select dozens โ€” or even hundreds โ€” of items at once and delete them all in one go. No more removing them one by one. This was the most-requested quality-of-life improvement from long-time members.

Five ways to share your players

We've expanded from a single embed code to five different sharing methods:

MethodBest For
Video Tag (learn more about adding video to eBay after the active content ban)HTML5 embed, ideal for eBay listings
Embed CodeResponsive iframe for websites and blogs
Image LinkClickable thumbnail that links to your player
Text LinkSimple URL for forums or emails
EmailSend a player link directly from eCommercePlayer

Each method includes step-by-step instructions tailored to your selling platform โ€” whether that's eBay, Shopify, WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, or anywhere else. For a walkthrough of the Shopify embed specifically, see how to add product video to your Shopify store.

Pay with PayPal or credit card

Subscriptions are no longer PayPal-only. Stripe has been added as a payment option, so members can pay with any major credit or debit card. Both options are available on the subscription page.

A dedicated account page

Members now have a full account page where they can update their profile, reset their password, manage their subscription, and access their personal referral link โ€” all without needing to contact support.

Faster support

The chat widget has always been there, but response times have improved significantly. Questions about setup, embedding, or billing get answered much faster than before.

Play statistics for every clip

Every player and media clip now displays play counts, so you can see which listings are getting the most views and make smarter decisions about your media. Understanding which videos actually get watched helps you invest your time in the content that converts.

A blog with tips and tutorials

We've launched a blog with guides and ideas for getting more out of your media players โ€” from embedding best practices to creative ways to use audio and video in your listings. Topics include why product video increases sales, how to optimize your eBay listings, and platform-specific guides for sellers.

What's next

We're not done. There's more in the works, and we'll be sharing updates as they roll out. If you're an existing member, log in and take a look around at www.ecommerceplayer.com. If you're new, sign up for free at www.ecommerceplayer.com/signup and see what eCommercePlayer can do for your listings.
