With ReelsWP you can:

Turn product videos into interactive shoppable reels

Im more than glad to make this review because ive been looking for such a plugin before it was created and tried modifying various carousels to mimick social media reels for my site. This plugin simply scraps all that hard work and brings it exactly as i wanted. The upgrade price is a bit on the high side, but still reviewing into the offers.

Amazing simple product, a great start. It just needs some autoplay, the option to no have a lightbox and it would be amazing for a selfhosted social feed for Shoppable Videos!
