Why 10 videos compounded into orders

70.3%
Widget load → in-view impression

Placement above the add-to-cart button keeps the widget in the viewport. Merchants with this placement land in the 60 to 75% range.

30.2%
Product click → add to cart

Shoppers arrive at the product page with high intent, having already seen the product demonstrated in context.

The combination produces compounding orders even with a small library. Ten videos, imported once, produced 19 attributed orders over four months.
