Goal of Tapcart PDP Stories and 'For You' Feed on React

Tapcart PDP Stories
Boost your app’s revenue and drive higher conversions by adding eye-catching, vertical videos on your product detail pages. These stories give shoppers a smooth and engaging mobile shopping experience—just like what they’re used to on social media.

Tapcart 'For You' Feed
Let your customers discover and shop your products through a smart, AI-powered video feed. It’s tailored to each user’s behavior and interests, all inside your Tapcart app.

Best Ways to Use Tapcart PDP Stories and 'For You' Feed on React

Use short, punchy videos that highlight the product’s benefits and fit. Keep it natural, mobile-first, and authentic. For best results:

  • Feature real customers or influencers using the product

  • Keep videos vertical, short (under 15 seconds), and sound-on optional

  • Highlight unique selling points visually

Example A:
On a PDP for a dress, use a quick try-on video showing fit, fabric, and movement.

Example B:
In the 'For You' feed, include fun, TikTok-style clips showcasing trending products, how-tos, or styling tips.
