How to add Poll to a Shift4Shop store

Embed Poll on Shift4Shop

01

Create a Poll app for Shift4Shop on Common Ninja

First, create a Shift4Shop Poll app on Common Ninja. On the apps catalog, find the Poll and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Poll app

When you're done creating the Poll 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 Poll Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Poll app to your Shift4Shop 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 Shift4Shop store.

04

Paste the code to your Shift4Shop website’s HTML field.

Next, go to your Shift4Shop 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 Shift4Shop’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the Poll Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s Poll app on your Shift4Shop 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 Poll app on your Shift4Shop 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 Shift4Shop 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 Poll app to your Shift4Shop store. You can do this by putting it straight into your Shift4Shop store's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the Poll widget when you want quick, focused feedback from visitors without asking them to commit to long forms. A single question with clear options is easy to answer and can reveal preferences, satisfaction, or interest in new ideas. This is useful on blog posts, product pages, dashboards, and support areas. Poll results help you understand audience sentiment and can guide decisions about features, content topics, or pricing experiments. At the same time, visitors feel included in the direction of your product or brand. Lightweight interaction like this can also increase engagement and time on page.
