Shoppable Videos (Android)
Shopping feature allows your audience to buy products while watching the videos. With this feature enabled, a user can browse products, scroll through available options ( e.g colours, sizes, etc ) and make a purchase while watching the video. At present, the SDK doesn't provide a payment solution, but it provides the callbacks for your app to manage the shopping cart as well as the checkout process.
UI/UX
Firework SDK provides the user interface to display the product list and handles user interactions to browse products and add an item to the shopping cart. Currently, we don't provide a way to customize UX/UI except for the 'Add to Cart'
button. You can customize the look and feel of the Add to cart
button by overriding FwShoppingCtaButtonStyle
. Name of the style and the parent style must be exactly as specified in the example below:
<resources xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">
<style name="FwShoppingCtaButtonStyle" parent="FwShoppingCtaButtonParentStyle">
<item name="android:backgroundTint">@color/backgroundColor</item>
<item name="android:textColor">@color/myTextColor</item>
<item name="android:textSize">16sp</item>
</style>
</resources>
To override the button shape properties (rounded corners radius for example) declare the separate style and apply it to shapeAppearanceOverlay
style attribute:
<resources>
<style name="FwShoppingCtaButtonStyle" parent="FwShoppingCtaButtonParentStyle">
<item name="shapeAppearanceOverlay">@style/MyAddToCartButtonShapeStyle</item>
</style>
<style name="MyAddToCartButtonShapeStyle">
<item name="cornerFamily">rounded</item> <!-- possible values "rounded" and "cut" -->
<item name="cornerSizeTopLeft">6dp</item>
<item name="cornerSizeBottomLeft">6dp</item>
<item name="cornerSizeBottomRight">6dp</item>
<item name="cornerSizeTopRight">6dp</item>
</style>
</resources>
There are two available themes for the shopping - ShoppingTheme.DARK
and ShoppingTheme.LIGHT
. This is configured by setting theme
property of ShoppingViewOptions
:
FireworkSdk.shopping.setShoppingViewOptions(
viewOptions = ShoppingViewOptions(theme = ShoppingTheme.LIGHT)
)
Configure default product cards
Product cards are represented as a clickable list of items. Every item represents a product available in the video. Currently, the following elements of the product cards are configurable:
Product card Radius. Defines rounded corners radius of the product card.
Label for the product cards CTA button. Currently, possible values are: "Shop now" and "Buy now"
Product card CTA button visibility. Hide or show the "Shop now" button.
Product card click action
Product card Radius
The default value for the product card radius is 4dp
in pixels. Use the following code to change the radius of the cards.
FireworkSdk.shopping.setShoppingViewOptions(
ShoppingViewOptions(
productCardsOptions = ProductCardsOptions.Default(
cornerRadius = resources.getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.corner_radius)
),
),
)
Product cards CTA button label The default value for the product card CTA (1 on the picture below) label is "Shop now".

Use the following code to change the label to "Buy now":
FireworkSdk.shopping.setShoppingViewOptions(
ShoppingViewOptions(
productCardsOptions = ProductCardsOptions.Default(
ctaButtonText = ProductCardsOptions.Text.BUY_NOW
// ctaButtonText = ProductCardsOptions.Text.SHOP_NOW
),
),
)
Product card CTA button visibility
The default value for the product CTA button visibility is true
. Use the following code to change the visibility of the product card CTA button.
FireworkSdk.shopping.setShoppingViewOptions(
ShoppingViewOptions(
productCardsOptions = ProductCardsOptions.Default(
isCtaVisible = true
// isCtaVisible = false
),
),
)
Product card click action
By default when user clicks the product card it opens shopping PDP page. This behaviour can be changed by setting custom click listener:
FireworkSdk.shopping.setOnProductCardClickListener { productId, unitId, productWebUrl, videoInfo ->
// Perform custom navigation here
// Return true to indicate that the navigation is handled by the host app
return true
}
Configure custom product cards
****❗Important - custom product cards are disabled for the client by default. To enable this feature, please contact your Firework account manager. The Firework SDK allows providing a custom view for the product card. This way, it is possible to have full control over the look and feel of the product card. To enable this feature, the host app should pass the following product card configuration:
FireworkSdk.shopping.setShoppingViewOptions(
ShoppingViewOptions(
theme = getProductCardsTheme(),
productCardsOptions = ProductCardsOptions.Custom(
widthPx = width,
heightPx = height,
spaceBetweenItems = spaceBetweenItems,
cardViewStartEndPadding = padding,
customViewProvider = { MyCustomProductCard(this) },
),
),
)
Provide a view for the custom product card. To pass a view for the custom product card, the host app should provide a customViewProvider
parameter. This parameter is a factory function with the following signature:
val customViewProvider: () -> FwProductCardView
The function returns implementation of FwProductCardView
. FwProductCardView
is an abstract class with a single abstract method that gets called when the card is inflated by FireworkSDK.
abstract fun bind(product: ProductCardDetails, videoInfo: VideoInfo)
ProductCardDetails
and VideoInfo
contain information about the product and the video related to the product card. Here is an example of FwProductCardView
implementation (initialization of the fields is omitted):
class MyCustomProductCard @JvmOverloads constructor(
context: Context, attrs: AttributeSet? = null, defStyle: Int = 0,
) : FwProductCardView(context, attrs, defStyle) {
init {
inflate(context, R.layout.custom_product_card_item, this)
}
override fun bind(product: ProductCardDetails, videoInfo: VideoInfo) {
title.text = product.productTitle
price.text = "${product.price?.amount ?: 0.0} ${product.price?.currencyCode}"
Glide.with(image.context)
.load(product.productImageUrl)
.placeholder(R.drawable.ic_product_placeholder)
.error(R.drawable.ic_product_placeholder)
.into(image)
}
}
Width and height of the custom product card. Width and height of the custom product card should be specified in pixels. The FireworkSDK can limit the size of the product card if it is not respecting the safe zone. Details of the Safe Zone Specifications for Firework Videos can be found here - https://help.firework.com/safe-zone-specifications-for-firework-videos
Clickable elements on the custom product card. FireworkSDK do not allow to have clickable elements on the custom product card. If the custom product card has clickable elements, the click will be intercepted by the FireworkSDK and the default behaviour will be triggered.
Shopping "Call to Action" (CTA) button
Shopping CTA button click listener
OnCtaButtonClickListener
is called when the user clicks the shopping CTA button (3 on the picture below).

Here is an example of how to use this interface:
class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
FireworkSdk.shopping.setOnCtaButtonClicked { productId, unitId, productWebUrl, videoInfo ->
// Handle CTA click here
}
}
override fun onDestroy() {
// Remove OnCtaButtonClickListener from the SDK
FireworkSdk.shopping.setOnCtaButtonClicked(null)
super.onDestroy()
}
}
In case the host app needs to do long-running operations after the shopping CTA button is clicked, Firework SDK should be notified about the status of the operation by calling:
fun setCtaButtonStatus(status: CtaButtonStatus)
FireworkSdk.shopping.setOnCtaButtonClickedListener { productId, unitId, productWebUrl, videoInfo ->
FireworkSdk.shopping.setCtaButtonStatus(CtaButtonStatus.Loading)
val result = api.doLongOpeartion()
if(result.isSuccess) {
FireworkSdk.shopping.setCtaButtonStatus(CtaButtonStatus.Success)
} else {
FireworkSdk.shopping.setCtaButtonStatus(CtaButtonStatus.Error)
}
}
}
CtaButtonStatus**.Loading:** to indicate that the CTA operation is in progress.
CtaButtonStatus**.Error:** to indicate that the CTA operation failed.
CtaButtonStatus**.Success:** to indicate that the CTA operation has proceeded successfully.
If the host app does not provide status to the CTA button for 10 seconds, SDK considers the action failed. This
To remove the listener:
FireworkSdk.shopping.setOnCtaButtonClickedListener(null)
Change shopping CTA button text
Currently, Firework SDK provides two labels to the shopping CTA button: Add to cart
and Shop now
. The Add to cart
label should be used when shopping is configured to use a shopping cart. The Shop now
label should be used when shopping is configured to work without a cart. In this case, after clicking the shopping CTA button, users are redirected directly to the product page.
To change the label, the following code is used:
FireworkSdk.shopping.setShoppingViewOptions(
ShoppingViewOptions(
ProductDetailsOptions(
shoppingCtaButtonOptions = ShoppingCtaButtonOptions(
text = ShoppingCtaButtonOptions.Text.SHOP_NOW
// text = ShoppingCtaButtonOptions.Text.ADD_TO_CART
),
),
)
)
Shopping cart
Firework SDK does not manage the shopping cart flow. As the host application, it is up to you to manage and maintain the shopping cart flow. Firework SDK provides callbacks when the shopping CTA button is clicked or when the user wants to view the shopping cart.
Customise shopping cart behaviour
You can define the behaviour of the shopping cart by using:
fun setShoppingCartBehaviour(behaviour: CartBehaviour)
CartBehaviour.NoCart: The shopping cart icon is not shown on the UI. This is the default cart behaviour if
setShoppingCartBehaviour
was not called by the host app. If applied shopping cart icon will not be shown.CartBehaviour.Callback: When the shopping cart icon is clicked
OnCartActionListener.onCartClicked
callback is triggered. This is useful when the host app wants to open the checkout screen as a separate activity.CartBehaviour.Embedded: When the shopping cart is clicked, the fragment generated using
EmbeddedCartFactory
will be shown. You must setEmbeddedCartFactory
by callingsetEmbeddedCartFactory
function when using this cart behaviour. OtherwiseIllegalStateException
is thrown when the shopping cart icon is clicked.
Example of customise shopping cart:
class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
// Declare EmbeddedCartFactory
private val embeddedCartFactory = object : EmbeddedCartFactory {
override fun getInstance(): Fragment {
// Host app fragmnet which will be shown when shopping cart is clicked
return CustomShoppingCartFragment()
}
}
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
// Set EmbeddedCartFactory
FireworkSdk.shopping.setEmbeddedCartFactory(checkoutFragmentFactory)
// Set Shopping.CartBehaviour.Embedded
FireworkSdk.shopping.setShoppingCartBehaviour(Shopping.CartBehaviour.Embedded(title = "Custom cart"))
}
}
Shopping cart click listener
OnCartActionListener
is called when the shopping cart icon (1 on the picture below) is clicked.

interface OnCartActionListener {
fun onCartClicked(videoInfo: VideoInfo)
}
****❗Important - this listener should be used only when Shopping.CartBehaviour.Callback
is applied to the SDK by calling:
FireworkSdk.shopping.setShoppingCartBehaviour(Shopping.CartBehaviour.Callback)
With other Cart behaviours like CartBehaviour.Embedded
or CartBehaviour.NoCart
the callback will not be triggered.
class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
// Set CartBehaviour.Callback
FireworkSdk.shopping.setShoppingCartBehaviour(Shopping.CartBehaviour.Callback)
FireworkSdk.shopping.setOnCartClickListener {
// Handle click on shopping cart
}
}
override fun onDestroy() {
// Remove OnCartClickListener from the SDK
FireworkSdk.shopping.setOnCartClickListener(null)
super.onDestroy()
}
}
Product Details Page (PDP) link button
OnProductLinkClickListener
is called when users click the shopping PDP button (2 on the picture below).

fun interface OnProductLinkClickListener {
fun onProductLinkClick(productId: String, unitId: String, productWebUrl: String?, videoInfo: VideoInfo): Boolean
}
The host app has an opportunity to handle the click by itself or delegate it to the Firework SDK. Return true
in onProductLinkClick
() to handle PDP flow after click action, on the contrary, return false
in onProductLinkClick()
to let Firework SDK handles the open product page flow.
Here is an example of how to use this interface:
class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
FireworkSdk.shopping.setOnProductLinkClickListener { productId, unitId, productWebUrl, videoInfo ->
// Handle click on pdp link button
return true
}
}
override fun onDestroy() {
// Remove OnProductLinkClickListener from the SDK
FireworkSdk.shopping.setOnProductLinkClickListener(null)
super.onDestroy()
}
}
Change PDP button visibility by setting ShoppingViewOptions
, see the example below:
FireworkSdk.shopping.setShoppingViewOptions(
ShoppingViewOptions(
ProductDetailsOptions(
linkButtonOptions = LinkButtonOptions(isVisible = false),
)
)
)
Product hydration
Please reference to Product Hydration
Errors
To start receiving shopping error events, host app should implement the OnShoppingErrorListener
interface.
/**
* Implement the interface to receive a callback when a shopping error occurs.
*/
interface OnShoppingErrorListener {
fun onShoppingError(error: ShoppingError)
}
Firework SDK provides the following functions to add and remove OnProductActionListener
:
/**
* Registers callback to be invoked when shopping-related errors occur.
* @param listener – The callback that will run
*/
fun setOnShoppingErrorListener(listener: OnShoppingErrorListener?)
To remove the listener call:
Firework.shopping.setOnShoppingErrorListener(null)
/**
* All possible errors that can occur with shopping
*/
sealed interface ShoppingError {
sealed interface AddToCartError : ShoppingError {
object NullProductId : AddToCartError
object NullProductUnitId : AddToCartError
object NullCartActionListener : AddToCartError
object Timeout : AddToCartError
}
sealed interface ShowProductInfoError : ShoppingError {
object FailedToLaunchUrl : ShowProductInfoError
object NullProductId : ShowProductInfoError
object NullUnitId : ShowProductInfoError
object NullProductWebUrl : ShowProductInfoError
}
}
Dismiss shopping UI
To dismiss shopping UI programmatically call:
FireworkSdk.shopping.dismiss()
Open the shopping cart programmatically
To open a shopping cart programmatically:
FireworkSdk.shopping.openShoppingCart()
Configure 'Shop now' functionality
Some apps do not want to navigate the user to the shopping cart and instead prefer to open the product page right after the user clicked the shopping CTA button. Here is the example of the setup where after clicking on the CTA product page is opened:\
private fun setupCtaModeShopping() {
with(FireworkSdk.shopping) {
setShoppingCartBehaviour(Shopping.CartBehaviour.NoCart) // Hides the cart button in top right corner
setShoppingViewOptions(
ShoppingViewOptions(
ProductDetailsOptions(
linkButtonOptions = LinkButtonOptions(false), // hides pdp link button
shoppingCtaButtonOptions = ShoppingCtaButtonOptions(text = ShoppingCtaButtonOptions.Text.SHOP_NOW),
),
),
)
setOnCtaButtonClicked { productId, unitId, productWebUrl, videoInfo ->
openWebUrlInBrowser(productWebUrl)
FireworkSdk.enterPip() // move player to PIP when another screen is opened
}
}
}
Purchase tracking
The host app can record a purchase which will help get a full picture of the user journey flow. In order to do this, call FireworkSDK.trackPurchase
whenever the purchase happens.
FireworkSdk.shopping.trackPurchase(
orderId = unit.id ?: "",
value = unit.price.amount,
currencyCode = unit.price.currencyCode.name,
countryCode = Locale.getDefault().country.ifEmpty { "County not available" },
additionalInfo = mutableMapOf(
"additionalKey1" to "additionalValue1",
"additionalKey2" to "additionalValue2",
"additionalKey3" to "additionalValue3",
),
)
