How to add Events Calendar to a Shift4Shop store

Embed Events Calendar on Shift4Shop

01

Create a Events Calendar app for Shift4Shop on Common Ninja

First, create a Shift4Shop Events Calendar app on Common Ninja. On the apps catalog, find the Events Calendar and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Events Calendar app

When you're done creating the Events Calendar 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 Events Calendar Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Events Calendar app to your Shift4Shop 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 Shift4Shop store.

04

Paste the code to your Shift4Shop website’s HTML field.

Next, go to your Shift4Shop 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 Shift4Shop’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the Events Calendar Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s Events Calendar app on your Shift4Shop 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 Events Calendar app on your Shift4Shop 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 Shift4Shop 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 Events Calendar app to your Shift4Shop store. You can do this by putting it straight into your Shift4Shop store's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the Events Calendar widget when your activity depends on dates and you want visitors to see everything that is coming up at a glance. A structured calendar view gives users context across weeks or months, instead of making them open separate event pages one by one. This works for venues, communities, schools, fitness studios, conferences, and online programs. People can scan, filter, and click into events that match their interests. The more predictable and discoverable your schedule, the easier it becomes for visitors to commit and plan around you. A good calendar shifts your site from static information to an ongoing destination people return to.
