How to add Flip Cards to a ButterCMS website

Embed Flip Cards on ButterCMS

01

Create a Flip Cards component for ButterCMS on Common Ninja

First, create a ButterCMS Flip Cards component on Common Ninja. On the components catalog, find the Flip Cards and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Flip Cards component

When you're done creating the Flip Cards component, 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 Flip Cards Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Flip Cards component to your ButterCMS website, 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 component embed code. In the next steps, you will paste this code into your ButterCMS website.

04

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

Next, go to your ButterCMS website 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 ButterCMS’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the Flip Cards Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s Flip Cards component on your ButterCMS website.

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 Flip Cards component on your ButterCMS component. You can just add the code to a special HTML section in the text editor.

06

Alternative Method 2: Add it directly to your ButterCMS website’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 Flip Cards component to your ButterCMS website. You can do this by putting it straight into your ButterCMS website's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the Flip Cards widget when you want to present information in a compact format that feels interactive and memorable. Each card shows a front view with a title or image, and flips to reveal more details, letting visitors explore content at their own pace. This is ideal for features, services, benefits, team bios, learning materials, and any page where you want to reduce clutter without losing depth. Flip cards keep layouts clean because secondary text stays hidden until the user shows interest. The interaction increases engagement and recall by turning reading into discovery. With clear, focused fronts and concise backs, flip cards guide attention and support stronger decisions.
