Showcase authentic customer photos on your Shopify store with Gleam’s fully customizable Shopify Gallery template.
This easy-to-embed gallery helps you build trust, inspire purchase decisions, and boost conversions by highlighting real people using your products.
You can collect and display user-generated content (UGC) automatically from Instagram, Facebook, X (Twitter), Pinterest, and more — or import submissions from a photo contest to keep your content fresh and community-driven.
Adding real customer images to your Shopify store strengthens your brand’s credibility and creates a relatable shopping experience that increases time on site and sales conversions.

Customer photo galleries work as a powerful trust signal that helps potential buyers visualize themselves using your products.
Encouraging your customers to post product photos on social media with branded hashtags or mentions is an effective way to gather content.
However, if you want to truly accelerate participation, running a Photo Contest can generate incredible engagement.
With our Photo Contest Template, you can offer a prize and invite users to submit their product photos for a chance to win.
This not only expands your UGC library but also drives meaningful brand interaction.
Create your gallery in Gleam and copy the embed code. In Shopify, go to Online Store → Themes → Customize, add a Custom Liquid (or HTML) section on the page you want, paste the code, and Save.
Embedding your Facebook feed increases engagement, adds social proof, and strengthens your brand presence.
With Gleam you can automatically import content into your Competitions and Galleries from Instagram hashtags. This is perfect for running photo contests and hashtag campaigns directly from Imstagram.
