How to Import TikTok & Instagram Reels into Your Shopify Store

Turn your best social content into shoppable video on your Shopify store — no downloads, no code, live in under 5 minutes.

To import TikTok or Instagram Reels into Shopify, install a shoppable video app like Moast from the Shopify App Store. Go to Media in the Moast admin, click Add Media, select your platform, and paste a URL or browse your profile. Videos are imported in seconds — no downloading required. You can then tag products inside each video to make them shoppable, and place them anywhere on your store using Shopify's native theme editor.

Why bring TikTok and Instagram content to your Shopify store?

Most Shopify merchants have a problem they don't think about: their best content is in the wrong place. The TikToks and Reels that generate comments, saves, and shares are sitting on social platforms where the only action a viewer can take is to follow you or click a link in bio. They can't add to cart. They can't buy.

Your product pages are where purchase decisions happen. That's where buyers with genuine intent land — from ads, from search, from email. And yet most product pages rely entirely on static photography to close the sale.

Importing your social video content directly onto your PDPs bridges that gap. Dame added shoppable video to their product pages and saw a $26,000 increase in monthly revenue and a 17% lift in conversion rate — without increasing traffic. The content they used already existed. It just needed to be in the right place.

What you'll need before you start

Setup is quick. Before you begin, make sure you have:

  • A Shopify store with access to your admin and theme editor
  • Moast installed from the Shopify App Store — the free plan is enough to get started
  • A public Instagram or TikTok account — private accounts cannot be imported. Your account or any account you want to import from must be set to public
  • Your social content URLs — or just your profile handle, ready to paste in

That's it. No developer. No theme code. No video editing software.

How to import Instagram Reels into Shopify (step-by-step)

Moast gives you four different ways to import Instagram content — from a specific Reel URL all the way to pulling in every post that mentions your brand. Here's how to do it.

1
Go to your Media Library

In your Moast admin, navigate to the Media section. Click the "Add media" button in the top right.

2
Select Instagram as your import source

At the top of the import panel, select Instagram. You'll then choose from four import methods depending on what content you want to bring in:

1
Instagram Handle URL
Paste your public Instagram profile URL to browse and select posts. Scroll back as far as you like using "Load more." Select exactly which posts to import using checkboxes.
Up to 12 posts at a time
2
Reel URL
Paste the URL of a specific Instagram Reel to import that exact post. The fastest method when you already know which video you want.
Single video import
3
Import by Profile Mentions
Import posts where another account has tagged or mentioned your Instagram handle. Perfect for pulling in customer UGC and creator content you may have missed.
Up to 48 posts
4
Import by Hashtag
Enter a hashtag to import posts that include it. Perfect for finding customer posts from branded or community hashtags like #yourbrandname.
Up to 48 posts
3
Configure your import settings

Before importing, choose your settings:

  • Import only videos — skip images if you only want video content
  • Hide content in widgets — import to your library but keep hidden until you're ready to publish
  • Tag products during import — attach product tags before adding to your library, saving you time later
💡 Tagging products during import is the fastest workflow. You can make your videos shoppable before they even land in your library.
4
Click Save — your Reels are imported

After selecting your posts and configuring settings, click "Save." Your Instagram Reels are added to your Moast media library and are ready to be placed in widgets on your store.

How to import TikTok videos into Shopify (step-by-step)

The TikTok import flow in Moast works the same way as Instagram. The same four methods apply — profile URL, specific video URL, profile mentions, and hashtag — so once you've done it once for Instagram, TikTok takes less than a minute.

1
Go to Media → Add Media

In your Moast admin, navigate to Media and click "Add media."

2
Select TikTok as your import source

At the top of the import panel, select TikTok. The same four import methods are available: TikTok profile URL, specific video URL, profile mentions, and hashtag.

💡 To import a specific TikTok, go to the video on TikTok, tap Share → Copy link, then paste that URL into Moast. That's all it takes.
3
Select your videos and configure settings

Browse and select the TikToks you want to import. Configure the same settings as Instagram — import only videos, hide in widgets, or tag products during import. Up to 12 posts can be imported at a time when browsing a profile.

4
Click Save

Your TikTok videos are added to your Moast media library. They're now ready to be tagged with products and placed in widgets on your store.

⚠️ Make sure your TikTok account is set to public. Private accounts and videos set to "Friends only" cannot be imported.

How to auto-sync new TikTok and Instagram content with Social Sync

Manually importing videos one by one works great for getting started. But if you post regularly to TikTok or Instagram, you'll want Social Sync — Moast's automated import feature that keeps your store's video library in sync with your social accounts without any manual work.

Social Sync scans your connected accounts every 24 hours and automatically imports any new content that matches your sync settings. New post published? It's in your store the next day.

To set up Social Sync: Moast Dashboard → Media → Social Syncs

You can set up three types of syncs:

👤
Profile Sync
Automatically imports new posts you publish to your own Instagram or TikTok profile going forward.
🏷️
Profile Mentions
Automatically imports future posts where other accounts tag or mention your handle — great for UGC and creator content.
#️⃣
Hashtag Sync
Automatically imports new posts using a specific hashtag you choose, like your branded hashtag.

You can create multiple syncs and manage them all in one place. An optional Auto-approve setting lets imported content go straight into your widgets without manual review — or you can keep it off to approve each post yourself before it goes live.

⚠️  Social Sync only imports new content going forward — it doesn't backfill past posts. For past content, use the manual import flow above first.

How to make your imported TikTok and Instagram videos shoppable

Importing the video is step one. Making it shoppable — so viewers can click directly from the video to a product page or cart — is what turns it into a revenue asset.

1
Open the video in your media library

Go to Media in your Moast admin and click on the imported video you want to tag.

2
Add a product tag

In the video editor, click "Add product tag." Search for the product by name or handle. Position the tag where you want it to appear on the video frame — typically when the product is most clearly visible on screen.

3
Tag multiple products if needed

If your video features more than one product — common in lifestyle content and brand videos — you can add multiple product tags. Each tag links to a different product page, letting shoppers click through to whichever item interests them.

4
Save and add to a widget

Once tagged, save the video and add it to a widget. Your shoppable video is ready to go live on your store. See the placement section below for where to put it for maximum impact.

💡 You can also tag products during the initial import step to save time — this is the fastest workflow if you're importing a large batch of videos.

Where to place your imported videos for maximum impact

Where you place your shoppable videos matters as much as the content itself. Here's how to think about placement across the different pages of your Shopify store:

Page Best widget type Why it works
Product page (PDP) Stories pop-up or carousel Highest purchase intent — shoppers are already considering buying. Place above your reviews section for maximum conversion impact.
Homepage Video carousel Sets the tone for new visitors. Use brand and lifestyle content — less about a specific product, more about who you are.
Collection page Carousel Helps shoppers quickly understand your range. Reduces the number of PDPs they need to visit before finding the right product.
Landing page (paid traffic) Featured video or carousel Visitors from ads already have context. Reinforce the ad creative with shoppable video and remove the friction between interest and purchase.

In Moast, widget placement uses Shopify's native theme editor — no code required. Go to your theme, add a Moast block to the section you want, select your video group, and it's live.
