How to add Podcast Player to a Shopify store

Embed Podcast Player on Shopify

01

Create a Podcast Player app for Shopify on Common Ninja

First, create a Shopify Podcast Player app on Common Ninja. On the apps catalog, find the Podcast Player and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Podcast Player app

When you're done creating the Podcast Player app, 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 Podcast Player Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Podcast Player app to your Shopify 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 app embed code. In the next steps, you will paste this code into your Shopify store.

04

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

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

06

Alternative Method 2: Add it directly to your Shopify 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 Podcast Player app to your Shopify store. You can do this by putting it straight into your Shopify store's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the Podcast Player widget when audio episodes are part of your strategy and you want listeners to stay on your site while they listen. Instead of sending people to external apps or embedding basic players, you provide a branded, organized experience that supports playlists, episode details, and responsive playback. Visitors can browse episodes, read show notes, and start listening with one click on any device. This is ideal for creators, media brands, educators, and companies running interview or storytelling series. Keeping listening inside your site increases time on page, creates more touchpoints for calls to action, and turns your site into a real media destination.
