Galleries are multi-post widgets that display your approved content in customizable layouts on your website. They automatically update with your latest posts and provide interactive shopping experiences through shoppable product tags.
Navigate to UGC -> On-site widgets to manage your galleries.
Use Cards to create a shoppable widget for a single image or video. 
How galleries work
Galleries dynamically display content based on your content source settings. When a visitor clicks one of the posts, a popup opens the post in full size and shows additional information and product tags. Customize what’s included in the UGC popup.
Key features:
- Automatic updates: Galleries refresh with new approved content that matches their filters
- Shoppable experience: Product tags link directly to your product pages
- Easy to design: Layout and design can be adjusted for each gallery
- Localized: Adjusts language, links, currency, and prices based on the market
- Responsive design: Adapts to different screen sizes and devices
- Performance optimized: Images are lazy-loaded and cached for fast loading
Available galleries
Cevoid provides several pre-configured gallery types to cover common use cases. Each gallery type is designed for a specific purpose, making it easy to get started. You can also create custom galleries when you need more control over what content is displayed.
Product dynamic galleries
Product dynamic galleries automatically change their content based on the ecommerce page they’re displayed on. This is powered by product tags and the product information from your product catalog.
This allows you to use one gallery across all product pages, one across all collection pages, and one across all category pages. This minimizes the work needed to populate your ecommerce pages with relevant and inspiring content.
The real time-saver: a single product tag added to a post makes that post available across all three gallery types. It can appear on the product page, the collection page, and the category page where that product belongs.
Product page gallery
The product page gallery shows posts featuring the product the visitor is viewing. It uses Cevoid’s fallback AI to make sure there’s always something to show, even for products with limited UGC.
How content is prioritized:
- Posts tagged with the exact product variant the visitor is viewing
- Posts tagged with other variants that share attributes (like color or size)
- Posts tagged with the primary product or any variant of the same product
- Posts featuring similar products based on Cevoid’s AI (optional)
When AI fallback is enabled, it finds similar products based on criteria you can prioritize in Settings -> AI:
| Criteria | What it matches |
|---|
| Names | Products with similar titles |
| Visual appearance | Products that look alike in photos |
| Categories & Collections | Products from the same or related categories and collections |
| Product specs | Products by size, color, material, etc. |
| Setting | Options |
|---|
| Use AI fallback | Yes or No |
| Fallback type | Gallery |
| Fallback gallery | Select which gallery to use as fallback |
Collection page gallery
The collection page gallery automatically displays posts featuring products from the collection the gallery is loaded on. When a visitor browses your “Summer Collection” page, they’ll see UGC featuring products from that collection. The gallery detects which collection page it’s on and fetches relevant content automatically.
Category page gallery
The category page gallery is designed for hierarchical category structures. It shows posts featuring products in the category the gallery is loaded on and all its subcategories, giving visitors a broader view of content across related products.
If your store doesn’t use hierarchical categories, the collection page gallery is usually a better fit.
Social feed galleries
Social feed galleries display content from your brand’s connected social media accounts. These are perfect for showcasing your brand’s own Instagram aesthetic or TikTok presence on your website.
| Gallery | Description |
|---|
| Instagram feed gallery | Shows approved posts from your brand’s connected Instagram accounts. Great for bringing your Instagram aesthetic to your website. |
| TikTok feed gallery | Shows approved posts from your brand’s connected TikTok accounts. Perfect for featuring your brand’s video content. |
General galleries
General galleries display all of your posts or all of your UGC posts.
| Gallery | Description |
|---|
| UGC gallery | Shows all approved user-generated content from your customers and community. This excludes any content your brand created, making it purely customer voices. |
| All posts gallery | Shows everything: both UGC from customers and content your brand has created. Use this when you want to combine authentic customer content with your own branded visuals. |
Custom galleries
Custom galleries let you build galleries for specific pages and sections. Choose from multiple content sources and combine them to create galleries for specific campaigns, pages, or purposes.
| Content source | What it does | Example use cases |
|---|
| Post labels | Shows posts that have specific labels applied | Create a “Summer Vibes” label and use it to curate a seasonal homepage gallery. Or label your best content “Featured” to handpick what appears. |

Pin posts to the top

- Click the Content tab
- Hover on a post in the preview or content list

Pinned posts stay at the top even as new content is added to the gallery. New posts will appear after your pinned content.
