How to add PDF Flipbook to a WooCommerce store

Embed PDF Flipbook on WooCommerce

01

Create a PDF Flipbook plugin for WooCommerce on Common Ninja

First, create a WooCommerce PDF Flipbook plugin on Common Ninja. On the plugins catalog, find the PDF Flipbook and enter the Editor.

02

Save the PDF Flipbook plugin

When you're done creating the PDF Flipbook 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 PDF Flipbook Embed Code

When you're ready to add the PDF Flipbook plugin to your WooCommerce 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 plugin embed code. In the next steps, you will paste this code into your WooCommerce store.

04

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

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

Why Use This Widget

Use the PDF Flipbook widget when you have long form documents that you want visitors to experience like real publications rather than raw files. Instead of downloading static PDFs, users can flip through pages interactively inside your site. This is ideal for catalogs, magazines, brochures, lookbooks, and detailed reports. The flipbook format feels more polished and keeps people engaged while still preserving all the content you prepared in PDF form. It also avoids breaking the journey by opening new tabs or external viewers. You gain a richer reading experience without having to redesign the material from scratch.
