What website widgets are

Your best creator content, embedded on your own website as a shoppable section — visitors watch, click, and buy.

1 min readUpdated Sep 1, 2026

A website widget takes creator content from your library and puts it on your own site as a shoppable section. Visitors watch the videos, click the products in them, and buy — and every click and sale is tracked.

Why bother

Creator content converts because it's real people showing real products. A widget puts that proof directly on your homepage or product pages, where buying decisions actually happen — instead of it living only on social media.

Where widgets get their content

  • Libraries — a broad pool that updates itself as new tagged content comes in; zero upkeep
  • Collections — a hand-picked set you curate; nothing changes unless you change it

Use a library for an always-fresh feed, a collection for a product page that should only show content about that product.

What you need first

Tagged content — posts in your Content Library matched to products. Widgets are the payoff of having tracking and Product Center set up.
