How to Link YouTube Shorts to Your BigCommerce Product Pages
Posted by Tammi Williams on Feb 23rd 2026
Posting this because I can never remember how to link my YouTube Shorts to my BigCommerce product pages. Adding video to your product pages is a great way to demonstrate your products to potential customers. In my case, a lot of these videos live on Instagram, but it's better to have them available on a platform I control.
Here's how I link YouTube shorts to my product pages.
1. After you upload your YouTube Short copy the URL and paste the URL into a new tab.
https://youtube.com/shorts/blahblahblah?si=JwY-2exQlzhjhNLi
2. Change the URL to https://youtube.com/watch?v=
followed by the unique code for the video (in the example above, it's everything beginning with blahblahblah)
3. Let the video load, then copy the URL in the address window. Then go to your product page in BigCommerce. Under Images & Video, click Add from URL and paste the URL into the field and save it. The YouTube Short will be linked to your product page.
