Add a UGC gallery to Shopify

Put a UGC gallery on your store

1. Install the app. Open Idukki on the Shopify App Store and click Install. Approve the permissions Shopify shows. Your products sync to Idukki in the background.
2. Create a gallery and pick a layout. In the Setup guide, click Create widget. Name it for where it will sit, such as Homepage gallery. Open the layout picker and choose one. Grid suits product pages. Carousel suits a homepage hero.
3. Connect a source. A gallery stays empty until it has posts. In the Setup guide, click Add posts. Import from Instagram, TikTok or YouTube, or upload your own photos and videos.
4. Approve posts. Open the collection and look through what came in. Hide anything off-brand from the post’s three-dot menu. Under Rights, open Rights Management to request or record permission. Only publish posts marked Approved.
5. Tag products. Open a post’s three-dot menu and choose Tag Products under Engage. Pick Manual Tagging, search your catalogue and save. Smart Assist suggests matches with AI.
6. Add the Idukki block in the theme editor. In Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Themes and click Customize. Open the page you want, such as the home page. Click Add section and open the Apps tab. Choose Shoppable UGC Gallery.
7. Point the block at your gallery. Copy the gallery’s ID from the widget list in the Idukki app. Paste it into the block’s Widget ID field. Leave it empty to show your default widget.
8. Save. Click Save in the theme editor. The gallery shows on your live theme. Open the store on a phone and a laptop to check it.
9. Check analytics. Open Analytics in the Idukki dashboard. Views and clicks appear once shoppers see the gallery. Add-to-cart events show for tagged products.
