THE PROBLEM
Most video plugins fight your theme. They inject markup that breaks custom gallery sliders, disappear when the theme updates, or dump the video somewhere below the fold where nobody scrolls.
Limeboom takes a different approach. The poster image is written into the product’s real gallery data — the same field every theme reads from. So the video slot shows up exactly where the rest of your product images do: in the gallery, right after the featured image. Storefront, Astra, Flatsome, custom themes — it just works.

FAQ
Does it work with my theme? Yes. Instead of hooking into theme-specific gallery rendering, the poster is written into the product’s actual gallery data. If your theme shows product images, it shows the video slot.
Where does the video appear? Right after the product’s featured image — the second image customers see in the gallery.
Can I use a video file from my own server? Yes. Direct MP4, WebM, OGG and MOV URLs are supported in both Free and Pro. The correct format is detected automatically.
What happens to my data if I remove the plugin? Nothing, by default — your video URLs and posters are kept so you can reinstall or upgrade without losing anything. If you want a clean removal, there’s an opt-in “remove all data” setting.
Can I upgrade from Free to Pro without losing my videos? Yes. Free and Pro share the same product data. Install Pro, activate your license, and every video you set up in Free is already there.
Is there a trial? Pro comes with a 14-day free trial, no payment details required.
