How to add Course Registration Form to a Shorthand story

Embed Course Registration Form on Shorthand

01

Create a Course Registration Form widget for Shorthand on Common Ninja

First, create a Shorthand Course Registration Form widget on Common Ninja. On the widgets catalog, find the Course Registration Form and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Course Registration Form widget

When you're done creating the Course Registration Form widget, 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 Course Registration Form Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Course Registration Form widget to your Shorthand story, 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 widget embed code. In the next steps, you will paste this code into your Shorthand story.

04

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

Next, go to your Shorthand story 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 Shorthand’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the Course Registration Form Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s Course Registration Form widget on your Shorthand story.

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 Course Registration Form widget on your Shorthand widget. You can just add the code to a special HTML section in the text editor.

06

Alternative Method 2: Add it directly to your Shorthand story’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 Course Registration Form widget to your Shorthand story. You can do this by putting it straight into your Shorthand story's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the Course Registration Form widget when you organize classes, workshops, or training sessions and need a smooth way to capture enrollments. It lets participants register with their details, select specific sessions, and receive confirmations automatically. You can collect information relevant to your format, such as level, preferences, or prerequisites, which makes planning easier. This works well for schools, academies, independent instructors, fitness studios, and corporate learning programs. By embedding registration directly into your course pages, you reduce friction between reading about an offering and signing up, which often leads to higher attendance and more accurate capacity planning.
