How to add Coupon Bar to a XenForo community

Embed Coupon Bar on XenForo

01

Create a Coupon Bar plugin for XenForo on Common Ninja

First, create a XenForo Coupon Bar plugin on Common Ninja. On the plugins catalog, find the Coupon Bar and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Coupon Bar plugin

When you're done creating the Coupon Bar plugin, 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 Coupon Bar Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Coupon Bar plugin to your XenForo community, 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 plugin embed code. In the next steps, you will paste this code into your XenForo community.

04

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

Next, go to your XenForo community 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 XenForo’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the Coupon Bar Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s Coupon Bar plugin on your XenForo community.

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 Coupon Bar plugin on your XenForo plugin. You can just add the code to a special HTML section in the text editor.

06

Alternative Method 2: Add it directly to your XenForo community’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 Coupon Bar plugin to your XenForo community. You can do this by putting it straight into your XenForo community's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the Coupon Bar widget when you want discounts to be impossible to miss and to create urgency without using popups. A fixed bar that displays a coupon code or offer keeps promotions visible throughout the visit, which increases the chance that visitors act before leaving. This is ideal for seasonal sales, first time buyer incentives, and limited time deals. The bar format is lightweight, so it does not block content, yet it still anchors attention to the offer. Clear coupon bars can reduce cart abandonment by reminding shoppers of savings at key moments. They also help you test offers quickly across the whole site without redesigning pages.
