About the Scan to Shop animation

Use it when viewers are watching on a TV or a second screen and can point a phone at it. The product tile and price land first, then the QR card slides in, a scan line passes over the code and the corners lock onto it. Add a Product photo, paste your product page into Link, and set Price and Caption. Test the code with your own phone before you post. Without a photo, the tile stays a plain tone and the price still reads.

Where it fits

  • On stream, for viewers watching on a TV who can scan with a phone.
  • In a YouTube video, when you mention a product you sell.
  • On a looping screen at a pop-up or market stall.

Filling it in

Paste the full product page address into Link, starting with https. Shorter links make a simpler code that scans from further away. Type Price with its currency sign, such as $48.

Format and timing

Scan to Shop is built at 640 × 360, a 16:9 landscape frame, the shape of a YouTube video, a stream layout and most editing timelines, and runs 3.3 seconds at 30 frames per second. It arrives in 1.3 seconds, holds for 1.1 and clears in 0.9, so cue it a beat before the moment it labels. Export it as an MP4 for a timeline or a feed, a GIF where video will not embed, or a MOV with an alpha channel to lay it over footage with nothing behind it. Renders go up to 4K on a paid plan, and Pro opens it free for the first seven days.

Questions about Scan to Shop

Does the QR code really work?

Yes. It's built from the link you paste, so a phone camera opens that page. Test it before you post.

Can I use my own product photo?

Yes. Add it in Product photo. The tile is portrait, so a tall photo with the item centred works best.

What size is it?

640 x 360, a 16:9 overlay with a transparent background, so it sits over your footage. It runs for 3.3 seconds.
