How to Add Product Demo Videos as Attachments

The Add Product Demo Videos feature in the Product Attachment for WooCommerce plugin lets you attach product demonstration videos directly to product pages using external video URLs (e.g., YouTube, Vimeo).

This is perfect for WooCommerce stores selling visual or technical products that benefit from a “see it in action” experience.

Preconditions

To use this feature, ensure the following:

• WooCommerce is installed and running
• The Product Attachment for WooCommerce plugin is installed and activated
• At least one product is created in your store
• Your demo video is hosted on a platform like YouTube or Vimeo

Step-by-Step Instructions

Attaching a Demo Video via External URL

1. Go to your WordPress admin dashboard

2. Navigate to Dotstore → Product Attachment

   Click the Bulk Attachment tab

   Click Add New

   In the form:

   • Select the product you want to attach the demo video to
   • Set the Attachment Type to External URL
   • Paste the video link in the External URL textbox (e.g., https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=demo123 )
   • Enter a title like “Watch Product Demo Guide”

   • Set visibility (e.g., visible to all or only to buyers)

     

3. Click Save

   

Alternate Flows

Attach the Same Demo Video to All Products

If you want to use the same video across your entire product catalog (e.g., a brand introduction video):

1. Go to Dotstore → Product Attachment
2. Open the Global Settings tab
3. Set Attachment Type to External URL
4. Paste the common video link
5. Add a title like “Watch Brand Video”
6. Save the settings

Expected Outcome

Customers visiting your product page will see a clearly labeled video link. Clicking the link opens the video (in a new tab or embedded, based on your theme), allowing them to better understand your product’s value.

Summary

By attaching product demo videos via external URLs, you can educate, engage, and convert more customers — all without affecting site speed or needing video hosting on your server.
