Changelog

New features, improvements, and fixes shipped to Storista.

Click Edit on any item in your Media Library to open its own detail page, where everything about that video or image lives in one place:

  • Preview the media, upload a custom thumbnail or pick a frame from the video.
  • Edit the title, file name and call-to-action button.
  • Edit the creator details shown when "Show video author" is enabled on a widget.
  • Add, remove and review tagged products.
  • Manage captions and set the clip time.

Changes are saved with a single Save button and update every widget that uses the video. You can also jump to this page with Edit media straight from a widget's video grid.

When you add or edit a Storista app block in the Shopify Theme Editor, the widget now appears and updates right away. You no longer need to reload the page to see your changes. This works on all themes automatically — no app or theme update needed.

Player and product card styling is now set once in Settings → Styles → Player design and applies to every widget in your store. You no longer need to repeat the same player settings in each widget's editor, and all your widgets open the same consistent player.

More accurate product suggestions

  • Improvement
  • Media Library

Smart product tagging now runs on a newer image-recognition model that matches your videos and images to the right products more accurately. Product photos and video frames are also analyzed at twice the previous resolution (1024px instead of 512px), which gave noticeably better product matches in our testing.

New stores use the new model automatically. Existing stores will be moved over, and product suggestions keep working while that happens.

Storista can now notify your systems when something happens, instead of you having to check:

  • media.imported — a video or image finished importing and is ready.
  • product_suggestions.generated — product suggestions are ready for a piece of media.

Webhooks are sent to your HTTPS endpoint, signed so you can verify they came from Storista, and retried automatically if your server is temporarily unavailable. Contact us to set up a webhook endpoint for your store.

The Storista API now covers the whole media workflow, so you can automate it from your own systems:

  • Import media from an Instagram, TikTok or YouTube link and track the import until it's ready.
  • Tag products on media: list, add and remove Shopify products.
  • Read product suggestions and see whether suggestions are still being generated, ready or failed.
  • Manage widgets: list a widget's videos, reorder them and add new media to a widget.
  • Filter media by whether it has tagged products and by import date, to pick up newly imported videos.

When tagging products on a video, the product picker now tells you whether suggestions are still being generated, have failed, or haven't started — instead of showing "No suggestions available" in every case. While suggestions are being generated, the list updates by itself when they're ready.

You can now open a widget's video player from your own buttons, banners or links using a small snippet of JavaScript:

window.storista.openPlayer("YOUR_WIDGET_ID");

You can also open the player on a specific video. If the widget hasn't finished loading yet, the player opens as soon as it is ready. For custom themes and headless storefronts, window.storista.init(), reload() and destroy() let you control widgets when your page content changes.
