Getting started
The first time you log into your Visual UGC account, you’ll be automatically directed to the setup wizard.
Just click Get Started to begin. You can return to the onboarding wizard at any time and finish setting up by clicking the profile icon on the top-right corner of your screen and selecting Installation.
Step 1: Customize your gallery
Start by customizing the design of your gallery. You can define the layout and spacing, the design of the button, and more. We recommend you match the design to your brand.
You can update these customization settings at any time. Learn more about designing your gallery and explore more design settings in Gallery Design and Settings.
When you’re done, click Next: Add media.
Step 2: Add media
Now choose the media you want to display in your gallery. You can choose photos/videos from your Instagram business account, from your Yotpo Reviews account (if you’re a customer), or you can upload media manually from your computer.
To add media from Instagram, do the following:
- Make sure your Facebook and Instagram accounts are linked.
- Click Log in. You’ll be prompted to log into your Facebook account.
- Enter your Facebook credentials, and then click Continue.
- Select the Facebook business page you want to link to.
- When you’re done, click Next: Preview.
