Edit your WooCommerce product
In WordPress admin, go to Products and edit the product you want to add video to.
Paste the code in the product description
If using the block editor, add a "Custom HTML" block and paste the iframe code. If using the classic editor, switch to the "Text" tab and paste the HTML.
Save and preview
Update the product and preview the page. Your video player should appear in the product description and play correctly on all devices.
Tips
Best Practices
Make the most of your media with these tips.
No plugin needed
Because the embed is standard iframe HTML, you do not need a WordPress video plugin. This avoids plugin conflicts and keeps your site lean.
Videos are hosted externally
Your videos are hosted and streamed by eCommercePlayer, not your WordPress server. This means no storage bloat and no bandwidth impact on your hosting plan.
Works with any WordPress theme
The iframe embed renders correctly in every WordPress and WooCommerce theme. No theme-specific configuration is needed.
