Embed YouTube Videos on Shopify Without Branding (2026)

May 25, 20264 min read

YouTube Videos on Shopify

Product videos increase conversion by 80%+. But YouTube's default embed shows competitor suggestions and branding — not ideal for your store.

Why Use Arknox for Shopify

  • No competitor suggestions — Viewers stay on your product page
  • Buy-now CTAs — Add purchase buttons inside the video
  • Branded player — Match your store's design
  • Fast loading — Won't slow down your Shopify store

Step-by-Step Setup

Step 1: Create Arknox Embed

  1. Paste your product video URL into Arknox
  2. Add a CTA overlay linking to your product
  3. Copy the embed code

Step 2: Add to Shopify

Method A: Product Description

  • Go to Products → Select product
  • In the description, click "Show HTML"
  • Paste the Arknox iframe code
Method B: Custom Liquid Section
  • Create a new section in your theme
  • Add the iframe code with responsive styling

Step 3: Add CTA Overlay

In Arknox, set up a CTA at the perfect moment:

  • After showing the product features
  • Before revealing the price
  • At the demo climax
Link the CTA directly to your "Add to Cart" button.

Best Practices
