How to add Code Snippets to a AmeriCommerce store

Embed Code Snippets on AmeriCommerce

01

Create a Code Snippets app for AmeriCommerce on Common Ninja

First, create a AmeriCommerce Code Snippets app on Common Ninja. On the apps catalog, find the Code Snippets and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Code Snippets app

When you're done creating the Code Snippets 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 Code Snippets Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Code Snippets app to your AmeriCommerce 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 AmeriCommerce store.

04

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

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

Why Use This Widget

Use the Code Snippets widget when your audience includes developers and you need to show examples that are readable and copy friendly. Proper formatting and syntax highlighting make code far easier to scan than plain text blocks. This matters for documentation, tutorials, API references, and technical blog posts. Visitors can quickly identify language constructs, keywords, and structure, which helps them implement solutions correctly. By presenting code in a clean, consistent style across your site, you send a signal of technical quality and care. You also reduce errors and support questions that arise from unclear or poorly formatted samples.
