How to add Bracket Maker to a Shopify store

Embed Bracket Maker on Shopify

01

Create a Bracket Maker app for Shopify on Common Ninja

First, create a Shopify Bracket Maker app on Common Ninja. On the apps catalog, find the Bracket Maker and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Bracket Maker app

When you're done creating the Bracket Maker app, 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 Bracket Maker Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Bracket Maker app to your Shopify 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 app embed code. In the next steps, you will paste this code into your Shopify store.

04

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

Next, go to your Shopify 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 Shopify’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the Bracket Maker Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s Bracket Maker app on your Shopify 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 Bracket Maker app on your Shopify app. You can just add the code to a special HTML section in the text editor.

06

Alternative Method 2: Add it directly to your Shopify 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 Bracket Maker app to your Shopify store. You can do this by putting it straight into your Shopify store's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the Bracket Maker widget when you want to run tournaments, contests, or competitive events in a way that feels organized and engaging. Many audiences enjoy voting, predicting winners, or following structured matchups, but building brackets manually is tedious. This widget lets you create and display rounds, participants, scores, and progress visually so that everyone can follow along at a glance. It works for sports tournaments, esports, community contests, internal company events, or fun campaigns tied to holidays and trends. By giving people a simple interface to view matchups and outcomes, you encourage repeat visits, sharing, and friendly competition around your brand.
