Upload a vertical story video from your dashboard; it appears in the story rail and expires automatically, and can also show on your storefront.
Your latest products are invisible unless shoppers visit your store.
5 steps, in this order. Each one is explained in the step-by-step guide.
In Pludor, open your store dashboard, find Story Video, press Upload Video, and choose a vertical clip. Optionally tick Show on storefront, then publish — it appears in the story rail and expires automatically. You need a Pludor store, which is free to create at pludor.com/setup.
Story videos are short vertical clips that appear in a story rail where shoppers browse, like Instagram stories but tied to your store. They solve the problem that your latest products are invisible unless shoppers already visit your store. They work well for stores showing new arrivals or restaurants showing specials.
On Pludor, Story Videos are on for every store including the Free plan. You get a free amount every month, then pay only for what you use, at 1 credit = 1 cent. New stores also get 500 free credits when they open a store.
Yes — Pludor story videos expire automatically after posting, similar to stories on social apps. You just upload and publish; there's nothing to manually take down. If you want a longer-lived post, you can also tick Show on storefront, or use Seller Updates which stay 24 hours and can be reposted within 72 hours.
On Pludor, videos are pinned to real products in your own store, and tips and subscriptions are paid into your Pludor wallet. On TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts, buying from a video typically depends on shop eligibility in each app, and creator earnings typically depend on programme eligibility thresholds. On Pludor, any product can be pinned and creators can earn through tips, subscriptions and affiliate commission.
Story videos should be vertical clips — the 9:16 format used by stories and short-video feeds. Record or edit your clip vertically before uploading. In Pludor, upload it from your dashboard under Story Video.
Yes. Pludor's Flika feature is a shoppable short-video feed: open Flika Studio from your account menu, upload a 9:16 clip showing the product in use, then pin a product so viewers can tap to buy. You can track views, taps and attributed sales from Flika Studio.
Combine a few formats: story videos for quick vertical clips in the story rail, Seller Updates for 24-hour image or video posts in the discovery feed, and Flika for shoppable videos with a pinned product. On Pludor all of these are available from your store dashboard, including on the Free plan.
Name your niche and audience, then write an opener that makes people want to keep watching in the first second or two. Pludor has a free Viral Hook Generator that does this for you — you can try it 8 times an hour without an account. It's designed to give you openers tailored to your niche and audience.
Yes — Pludor's Live Selling lets you sell in a live video stream with real-time checkout. Open Live Broadcast from your store dashboard's Growth & AI menu, attach the listings you'll show, then start the broadcast; viewers check out on pinned products without leaving the stream. After the show, orders appear in Orders and followers get notified of your next broadcast.
