How to add Back to Top Button to a Magento store

Embed Back to Top Button on Magento

01

Create a Back to Top Button extension for Magento on Common Ninja

First, create a Magento Back to Top Button extension on Common Ninja. On the extensions catalog, find the Back to Top Button and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Back to Top Button extension

When you're done creating the Back to Top Button extension, click on the Save Changes button at the right top corner of the editor. If you don't have an account on Common Ninja, you'll have to register first.

03

Copy the Back to Top Button Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Back to Top Button extension to your Magento store, click the Add To Website button at the top bar of the Editor. On the window that opens, click the Copy Icon to copy the extension embed code. In the next steps, you will paste this code into your Magento store.

04

Paste the code to your Magento website’s HTML field.

Next, go to your Magento store editor and find the HTML field. It is most likely in the form of an HTML/Code widget or module which you can find on the Magento’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the Back to Top Button Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s Back to Top Button extension on your Magento store.

05

Alternative Method 1: Through the HTML option in the text’s editing area.

If you can't find the HTML/Code widget or module, there's another way to put Common Ninja’s Back to Top Button extension on your Magento extension. You can just add the code to a special HTML section in the text editor.

06

Alternative Method 2: Add it directly to your Magento store’s HTML code.

If you're having trouble finding a widget or a special part in your text editor where you can add the Embed Code, you can try a different way to add the Back to Top Button extension to your Magento store. You can do this by putting it straight into your Magento store's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the Back to Top Button widget when your pages are long and you want navigation to feel light instead of tiring. On content heavy layouts, especially on mobile, scrolling all the way back up can be annoying and may discourage further exploration. A simple button that appears after the user scrolls makes it clear they can jump instantly to the top navigation, search, or main call to action. This improves perceived usability, reduces friction, and supports better engagement with the rest of your site. It is particularly valuable for blogs, documentation, ecommerce catalogs, one page sites, and any experience where visitors naturally scroll through many sections.
