The ShortsWorks app in Shopify

Almost everything except theme placement happens in the app embedded in your Shopify admin — Apps → ShortsWorks. Seven tabs run across the top: Home · Dashboard · Library · Contents · Channels · Groups · Widget Studio.

Home

The first screen when you open the app. It shows your last-7-day performance and your setup progress at a glance.

Embedded app Home. Top tabs, 'Your videos are live' with Views / Watch time / Product clicks / Traffic cards, a Setup checklist, and Recent videos.

  • Performance cards — Views · Watch time · Product clicks · Traffic (last 7 days). The Live on storefront badge (top right) confirms your widget is showing.
  • Setup checklist — ① Import your first video (→ Library) ② Style your widget (→ Studio) ③ Turn it on in your theme (→ Theme editor). All set when all three are done.
  • Recent videos — your latest content, with View library →.

Dashboard

A detailed look at content performance. See Analytics for what each metric means.

Embedded app Dashboard. Date range, Views / Watch Time / Product Clicks / Traffic cards, a trend chart, and a Contents/Group table (name, views, completion rate, product clicks, click rate, total watch time).

  • Date range (e.g. Last 7 days), metric cards, and a trend graph.
  • Contents / Group tabs give a per-short and per-group table: views, completion rate, product clicks, click rate, total watch time.

Library

Bring content in with social URL import and video upload. See Library.

Embedded app Library. Upload and Import URL buttons, source/platform/status/date filters, and a content grid with Add to Short / Delete on each card.

  • Upload / Import URL (top right) to add content.
  • Filter by source, platform, status, and import date; search by title/author; switch grid/list.
  • Each card has Add to Short (publish) and Delete; select several to publish or delete at once.

Contents

Manage the widget content shown on your store.

Embedded app Contents. An 'All widgets ON' toggle, Draft/Published/Hidden tabs, a '*Managed in sync with the mobile app' note, and a grid of published shorts.

  • All widgets ON — turn all storefront widgets on or off at once.
  • Draft · Published · Hidden tabs. It's kept in sync with the mobile app, so anything you post from the app appears here.

Channels

Subscribe to a social account to auto-collect new content. See Channel subscriptions.

Embedded app Channels. Empty-state guidance (register a YouTube / Instagram / TikTok channel URL, auto-import) and an Add Channel button.

  • Add Channel to register a YouTube · Instagram · TikTok channel URL. New content is imported into your library automatically after that.

Groups

Group content so a widget can show just one set. See Managing groups.

Embedded app Groups. A Group name table with an Active toggle and Share / Copy / Edit / Delete icons, plus an Add group button.

  • Per-group Active toggle, Share · Copy · Edit · Delete, and Add group.

Widget Studio

Build reusable widget presets. See Widget Studio.

Embedded app Widget Studio. A Preset List where each preset shows a Widget ID, install code, Copy / Edit settings / Duplicate / Delete / Set as Shopify Default, and a preview — plus Add Preset and Import.

  • Each preset shows its Widget ID and install code (<shorts-works …>), with Copy · Edit settings · Duplicate · Delete.
  • Set as Shopify Default (Shopify-only) — makes that preset your store's default widget. A floating widget or block left without a Widget ID uses it.
  • Add Preset for a new one; Import to bring in existing code.

The Shopify difference

  • No connection step — installing the app links your store. No access key, no script tag.
  • Placement is in the theme editor — the floating widget and blocks live under Online Store → Themes → Customize.
  • Set as Shopify Default picks your store's default widget.
