# CartViral > CartViral is an AI product video generator for e-commerce. Paste a product or store link (Shopify, Amazon, Etsy or your own site) or upload photos, and it renders short vertical clips for TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts: photo montages, AI story reels, ad creatives and UGC-style AI avatar videos, built from the real product photos and copy. It never posts for you, and it learns from your own reactions and logged post numbers. Last updated: 2026-09-23 ## What it is - A web app at https://app.cartviral.com. Sign in with a one-time email code (no password). A free trial needs no card. - Not a Shopify app: there is no Shopify App Store listing, no OAuth and no access to a store's admin or API. CartViral reads public product pages only. - Built by sellers with seven years in e-commerce, for their own stores first. ## How it works 1. Import products. A public Shopify storefront URL imports the whole published catalog (up to 750 products). Amazon listings and most other product pages (Etsy, your own site with JSON-LD or OpenGraph product data) import one product per URL. No link? Upload photos or paste image URLs and add title and price by hand. Re-importing the same link updates products in place. 2. Scoring. Each product gets a 0-100 score from photo coverage, the concrete benefit copy in its description, and freshness. Products above the bar are marked push, the rest hold. Batches and autopilot (a set number of clips per day or per week) start from the top of the list. 3. Generate. Pick a clip type and a product. Every clip is vertical 9:16 with captions and a voiceover; hooks and on-screen benefits come from the merchant's own product copy, never invented claims. Rendering takes a few minutes. 4. Post. Nothing is auto-posted and CartViral never logs in to social accounts. Each clip downloads as a pack: the video, a caption for TikTok, Instagram and YouTube, hashtags and a UTM link. The merchant posts it, then can mark it as posted and log its numbers. 5. Learn. The Signal Room turns likes, dislikes and logged post numbers (views, likes, comments, shares, watch time) into findings about hooks, story structures and clip styles, and the next wave leans on what won. A finding needs at least 5 reactions or tracked posts; about 20% of new clips keep testing alternatives. CartViral does not read sales or orders from any store. ## Clip types and credit cost - Photo montage: 1 credit. A fast cut from product photos with hooks, captions and voiceover. - AI story reel: 4 credits. Four AI scenes animated from the product photo: hook, story arc, native captions. - Ad creative: 4 credits. Benefits, price tag and a call to action on screen, for paid ads. - UGC avatar reel: 10 credits. A realistic AI presenter shows the product on camera, voiceover included. ## Pricing (USD, launch bonus included) - Trial: $0, no card. 48 credits one time = 12 AI clips (avatars included), or 48 montages, or any mix. - Starter: $49 per 30 days, 240 credits (base 200), about 60 AI story clips. - Growth: $129 per 30 days, 860 credits (base 650), about 215 AI story clips; 26% cheaper per clip than Starter. - Scale: $290 per 30 days, 2,320 credits (base 1,600), about 580 AI story clips; 39% cheaper per clip than Starter. - Top-ups: 60 credits $16, 120 credits $29, 300 credits $65, 800 credits $155.
