Zepto Uses Video Widgets to Drive Product Discovery

Context

Zepto is a quick commerce app in India. The app embeds video widgets directly within the product browsing experience. These shoppable videos — featuring partner brands and products — auto-play as users scroll through search results and category pages. The video format showcases products in action, providing richer context than static images.

Why This Works

Video widgets bring products to life in a way static images cannot. It works because (1) Auto-play video captures attention during scroll, increasing the chance of product discovery, (2) Seeing a product in use builds confidence and reduces purchase hesitation, (3) The embedded placement means users discover products organically within their browsing flow rather than through intrusive ads.
