Will lazy-loaded Shopify product images appear in the video?

The browser performs a scroll pass before capture so lazy-loaded product images have a chance to load. This is especially important for long subscription box pages with product grids below the fold. If an image still fails because of a store script or loading error, fix the source page before relying on that frame.

Does the video include real footage of someone opening the box?

Only if that footage is already available on the Shopify page and used as a source asset. Otherwise, the video builds an unboxing-style reveal from real screenshots of the box, included products, reviews and cart. It does not invent hands, reactions or physical opening footage.

Can I make a second ad for a different monthly box?

Yes. The first video is cut from the Shopify site alone, while later videos accept a prompt. You can ask the next version to focus on a new monthly assortment, a particular product category, the subscription cadence or a different reveal order, provided the relevant details appear on the store.

How much does it cost to create subscription box videos?

You can pay $19 for two videos or $39 per month for eight. A subscription box store can use the set for different monthly assortments, vertical and horizontal placements, or alternate openings that lead with the box, a standout item, customer reviews or the subscription cart.

Show the box before it reaches the doorstep

Sizzledraft turns a Shopify subscription box URL into a short video ad built from real store screenshots and the site's own brand tokens. It captures the product grid, product page, cart and reviews block, then presents them as a paced box reveal without pretending that website images are physical unboxing footage.

Opening lines that work here

What is inside this month's box?
It creates the same curiosity that drives a subscription box unboxing while leaving room to reveal products one at a time.
Open the box before you subscribe
It answers the shopper's main concern by previewing the assortment before showing the subscription offer.
From sealed box to full product lineup
It gives the ad a clear reveal sequence using the Shopify product grid and individual product pages.

How can I make a subscription box ad from my Shopify store?

Start with the Shopify URL that best explains the box, usually a collection page, subscription product page or dedicated landing page. Sizzledraft drives a browser through the store, performs a scroll pass so lazy-loaded product images appear, and captures the product grid, product details, cart and reviews block. It then uses the store's own colours, type and visual styling to build a scene around those real screenshots. The first video is cut from the site alone. For later versions, you can add a prompt that changes the emphasis, such as revealing this month's products first, highlighting the delivery cadence or ending on the subscription cart. The result can be vertical at 1080x1920 or horizontal at 1920x1080.

Can a website video show the unboxing experience?

It can reproduce the structure of an unboxing, but it should not claim to show a physical opening unless that footage exists on your Shopify page. A useful sequence starts with the closed-box product image, reveals individual items from the product grid, opens a product page for closer detail, then moves to reviews and the cart. This creates anticipation and payoff using evidence already on the store. Strong source pages help by showing the packaging, the full assortment and clear close-ups of each item. If your page only has one box image, add more product photography before generating the ad. The video can then make the contents legible without inventing products, reactions or an unboxing that never happened.

What video format works for subscription box ads?

Use vertical 1080x1920 for placements where the box reveal needs to fill a phone screen. Horizontal 1920x1080 suits wider placements or a product page embed. Both formats render at 30fps in H.264, with audio normalised to -14 LUFS. Keep the first moments focused on the box or its most distinctive item, then reveal the remaining products before showing reviews and the subscription cart. If you plan to use a trending sound, Sizzledraft hands it over as a link so you can attach it natively when posting. It is not baked into the file because baked-in audio does not count as using that sound. This preserves the platform's native sound association while keeping the exported ad ready for upload.

What the browser actually gets

The browser scrolls through the Shopify store to load product imagery before capturing the product grid, product page, cart and reviews block. That scroll pass matters because lazy-loaded box and item photos may otherwise appear blank, but the browser cannot create physical unboxing footage that is not already on the page.

The common mistake

A common mistake is opening with a generic logo animation while hiding the box contents. Start with the closed box or standout product, reveal the assortment immediately, then use the reviews block and cart to support the subscription decision.
