Are you running a movie merchandise shop or entertainment blog on Shopify and want to showcase IMDb content directly on your store? This guide shows you how to effortlessly embed IMDb movie listings, trailers, reviews, and ratings on your Shopify store using EmbedAny.

Why Embed IMDb Content on Your Shopify Store?

Adding IMDb content to your Shopify store can:

Show movie details alongside related merchandise
Display reviews and ratings to build customer confidence
Embed trailers to engage visitors and increase time on site
Create a more comprehensive shopping experience for film enthusiasts

Step 1: Install EmbedAny on Your Shopify Store

Before you can start embedding IMDb content, you’ll need to install the EmbedAny app:

Visit EmbedAny on the Shopify App Store
Click “Add app” to install it on your store
Follow the setup instructions to activate the app

Step 2: Find the IMDb Content You Want to Embed

Visit IMDb.com
Search for the movie, TV show, actor page, or review you want to embed
Copy the full URL from your browser’s address bar

For example:

Movie page: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0468569/ (The Dark Knight)
TV show: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0944947/ (Game of Thrones)
Actor profile: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000288/ (Christian Bale)

Step 3: Embed the IMDb Content on Your Shopify Store

Go to the page or product where you want to add the IMDb content
In the description editor, paste the IMDb URL
Important step: Make the link italic by selecting it and clicking the italic button (or using Ctrl+I / Cmd+I)
Save your changes

That’s it! EmbedAny will automatically transform your italic IMDb link into an interactive embed showing the movie details, ratings, cast information, or trailer.

Where to Use IMDb Embeds in Your Shopify Store

IMDb embeds work brilliantly in several places:

Product descriptions for film merchandise
Blog posts about upcoming films
Collection pages featuring movie-themed products
Custom pages dedicated to specific genres or franchises

Troubleshooting Tips

If your IMDb embed isn’t displaying correctly:

Make sure you’ve properly italicised the link
Verify that EmbedAny is activated on your store
Ensure you’re using the main IMDb URL, not a specific section of the page
