How to turn a Shopify product link into TikTok videos with AI
Last updated: 24 September 2026
What you need
A public product page with at least two good photos and a description that names concrete benefits. No filming, no editing software, no store login or API access.
Step by step
- Sign up at app.cartviral.com with a one-time email code. No card.
- Paste a link. A public Shopify storefront link imports the whole published catalog (up to 750 products). A single product page imports that product. Amazon, Etsy and most other product pages import one product per link. No link? Upload photos and add title and price by hand.
- Pick the product. Each product gets a 0-100 score from photo coverage, concrete benefit copy and freshness. Start with the ones marked push.
- Choose a clip type (table below) and generate. A clip usually renders in a few minutes; a failed render refunds its credits.
- Download and post the 9:16 clip on TikTok, Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts.
Which clip type to use
| Clip type | What it is | Credits | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Photo montage | Fast cut from your product photos with a hook, captions and voiceover | 1 | Daily volume, testing hooks |
| AI story reel | Four AI scenes animated from your product photo, with a story arc, about 15 seconds | 4 | Organic reach |
| Ad creative | Benefits, price tag and call to action on screen | 4 | Paid ads and retargeting |
| UGC avatar reel | An AI presenter shows the product on camera, with voiceover | 10 | Trust, UGC-style content |
How many clips you need
Two posts a day for 30 days is 60 clips. That is the Starter plan: $49 per 30 days for 240 credits, about 60 AI story reels or 240 montages, or any mix. Growth ($129, 860 credits) covers about 215 AI reels; Scale ($290, 2,320 credits) about 580.
Posting tips that matter in 2026
- One original clip per post. TikTok keeps unoriginal content (copied or with minimal original input) out of the For You feed (TikTok For You feed standards). Every CartViral clip is rendered new, so two posts never share the same file.
- Hook in the first second. Montage and story clips open with a hook line; test several and keep what holds viewers.
- Links go in the bio. Links in TikTok captions are not clickable.
- Label it. Use the platform's AI-content label where it asks for one, and the paid-partnership or ad label when you earn from the post.

FAQ
Do I need a Shopify store?
No. A Shopify storefront link imports the whole catalog at once, but Amazon, Etsy and most other product pages work one link at a time, and you can upload photos by hand.
Is it free to try?
Yes. The free start is 48 credits once per account, no card: about 12 AI story reels, 4 avatar reels or 48 montages. Paid plans start at $49 per 30 days.
Does CartViral post to TikTok for me?
No. You download the clip and post it from your own account, which keeps posting native to each platform.
How long does one clip take?
Usually a few minutes. If a render fails, its credits come back automatically.
Can I use the clips in paid ads?
Yes. The ad creative type puts benefits, price and a call to action on screen for ads.
