How to Enable Eevy Media Gallery

4 min read

The Eevy Media Gallery is a product page gallery that combines your product images and user-generated video content into a single, optimized experience. Instead of Shopify's default image carousel, your customers get a gallery that mixes professional product shots with authentic customer videos — and Eevy's genetic algorithm continuously tests different layouts to find what converts best.

The gallery supports variant-specific first slides (so "Blue Widget" shows the blue image first), engagement tracking, and multiple layout styles. This guide walks you through enabling it.

What the Media Gallery Does

The Eevy Media Gallery replaces or supplements your default Shopify product image carousel with a smarter alternative. Here's what it brings: Product Images + UGC Videos Together — Mix your professional product photos with customer-submitted video reviews in one gallery. Authentic video content builds trust and keeps visitors engaged longer. Multiple Layout Styles — Choose from thumbnail grids, image previews with thumbnail strips, or pagination-based carousels. Eevy's genetic algorithm tests different layouts and evolves toward the one that converts best for your store. Variant-Specific First Slides — When a customer selects "Blue" on your color swatch, the gallery shows the blue product image first. Each variant can have its own hero image, automatically. Engagement Tracking — See how far visitors scroll through your gallery, which images get the most attention, video play rates, and how gallery engagement correlates with purchases.

Why You Should Enable It

Your product page gallery is one of the most viewed elements on your entire store. It's where purchase decisions happen — customers zoom in, swipe through angles, and watch videos to decide if they trust the product enough to buy. The default Shopify gallery works, but it doesn't adapt. It shows the same layout to every visitor regardless of what converts. The Eevy Media Gallery continuously optimizes which layout, image order, and content mix produces the most revenue per visitor. Adding UGC videos alongside product images is especially powerful. Customer videos provide authentic proof that the product delivers — something polished product photos alone can't do.

Step 1: Open the Theme Editor

From your Shopify admin, go to Online Store → Themes. Find your current live theme and click Customize. This opens the Shopify theme editor where you can manage app embeds.

Step 2: Find Eevy Media Gallery in App Embeds

In the theme editor, click App embeds in the left sidebar (the icon looks like a puzzle piece). You'll see a list of all installed app embeds. Find Eevy Media Gallery in the list.

Step 3: Toggle On and Save

Click the toggle next to Eevy Media Gallery to enable it, then click Save in the top right corner. The media gallery is now active and will automatically appear on your product pages.

What Happens Next

Once enabled, the Eevy Media Gallery will automatically appear on your product pages. It pulls your existing Shopify product images and any UGC videos you've added through the Eevy dashboard. To get the most out of the gallery, head to your Eevy dashboard and add UGC video content to your products. The gallery works with product images alone, but the combination of professional photos and authentic customer videos is where the real conversion lift comes from. The genetic algorithm will start testing different gallery layouts as soon as you have enough traffic. You'll see engagement metrics — slides viewed, dwell time, video plays — in your dashboard within the first few days.

Wrapping Up

Your Eevy Media Gallery is now live on your product pages, combining product images and UGC videos in an optimized gallery that evolves over time. The genetic algorithm handles the layout testing — your job is to keep adding great content.
