Amazon recently introduced a significant update to its Shoppable Videos, and it’s a game-changer for sellers. With new tools like Canva templates, bulk video uploads, and deeper performance metrics, this update makes video content creation and management easier and more effective than ever before.
Shoppable Videos are already known for their ability to influence purchasing decisions by providing customers with a clear visual of the product, reducing uncertainty, and ultimately helping drive sales. Listings featuring video content typically see better conversion rates, and Amazon is making sure to support this growing trend.
What’s New?
Amazon has rolled out enhanced analytics on the “Upload and Manage Videos” page. Sellers now have access to metrics like click-through rates, return rates, and attributed sales, along with trend graphs that track performance over time. Additionally, cumulative cards provide an overview of video performance for any selected date range, turning video content from a “nice-to-have” feature into a tangible, measurable asset.
Canva has also unveiled Shoppable Video templates tailored specifically for Amazon. These new layouts are sleek, mobile-optimized, and customizable to align with any brand style. The templates include formats for product demos, tutorials, and unboxing videos, making video production much more accessible for brands that don’t have dedicated video teams.
Once your videos are ready, Amazon’s new bulk upload feature allows sellers to upload up to 15 videos at once. While it’s a small change, it’s a huge time-saver for brands with large product catalogs, frequent seasonal updates, or multiple variations of a single product.
Why This Is Important for Sellers
Video is becoming one of the most powerful tools for increasing conversions on Amazon. Shoppers are increasingly turning to videos to better understand a product’s size, features, and functionality. Listings with compelling Shoppable Videos are more likely to stand out, resulting in higher conversions, fewer returns, and more visibility in key areas of the product detail page. In Amazon’s competitive marketplace, these incremental advantages quickly add up.
Creating, uploading, and analyzing Shoppable Videos has never been easier. Amazon is clearly signaling that video-rich content is an integral part of the product page’s future. Sellers who embrace this shift early on will enjoy a competitive edge, while those who wait will find themselves trying to catch up as competitors gain momentum.
