How to add Opening Hours to a Solidus store

Embed Opening Hours on Solidus

01

Create a Opening Hours extension for Solidus on Common Ninja

First, create a Solidus Opening Hours extension on Common Ninja. On the extensions catalog, find the Opening Hours and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Opening Hours extension

When you're done creating the Opening Hours 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 Opening Hours Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Opening Hours extension to your Solidus 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 Solidus store.

04

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

Next, go to your Solidus 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 Solidus’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the Opening Hours Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s Opening Hours extension on your Solidus 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 Opening Hours extension on your Solidus 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 Solidus 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 Opening Hours extension to your Solidus store. You can do this by putting it straight into your Solidus store's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the Opening Hours widget when clear availability is critical for your business. Visitors often come with simple questions like whether you are open now, open later, or open on a specific day. If they cannot answer that quickly, they may leave or choose a competitor. This widget presents your schedule in a clean, readable format that works on mobile and desktop, and you can highlight special days, holidays, or mixed hours. It is useful for local stores, clinics, restaurants, agencies, and service providers that rely on appointments or walk ins. By removing uncertainty about when you are active, you reduce support calls, missed visits, and frustration.
