How to add Image Hotspot to a CMS Max store

Embed Image Hotspot on CMS Max

01

Create a Image Hotspot add-on for CMS Max on Common Ninja

First, create a CMS Max Image Hotspot add-on on Common Ninja. On the add-ons catalog, find the Image Hotspot and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Image Hotspot add-on

When you're done creating the Image Hotspot add-on, 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 Image Hotspot Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Image Hotspot add-on to your CMS Max 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 add-on embed code. In the next steps, you will paste this code into your CMS Max store.

04

Paste the code to your CMS Max website’s HTML field.

Next, go to your CMS Max 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 CMS Max’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the Image Hotspot Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s Image Hotspot add-on on your CMS Max 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 Image Hotspot add-on on your CMS Max add-on. You can just add the code to a special HTML section in the text editor.

06

Alternative Method 2: Add it directly to your CMS Max 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 Image Hotspot add-on to your CMS Max store. You can do this by putting it straight into your CMS Max store's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the Image Hotspot widget when your content depends on visuals and you want people to understand details without reading long instructions. It lets you attach short, clear explanations directly to specific areas of a product photo, illustration, map, or diagram, so context never gets lost. Visitors can explore at their own pace, focusing only on what matters to them. This reduces confusion, cuts support questions, and turns a single image into a guided experience that feels structured and intentional. It is especially useful for feature tours, product breakdowns, galleries, and any page where you want to explain what users are seeing in a precise and interactive way.
