How to add Progress Bars to a Solidus store

Embed Progress Bars on Solidus

01

Create a Progress Bars extension for Solidus on Common Ninja

First, create a Solidus Progress Bars extension on Common Ninja. On the extensions catalog, find the Progress Bars and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Progress Bars extension

When you're done creating the Progress Bars extension, 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 Progress Bars Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Progress Bars extension to your Solidus 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 extension embed code. In the next steps, you will paste this code into your Solidus store.

04

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

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

06

Alternative Method 2: Add it directly to your Solidus 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 Progress Bars extension to your Solidus store. You can do this by putting it straight into your Solidus store's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the Progress Bars widget when you need to show completion, growth, or performance in a way that is instantly understood. Animated bars make abstract numbers feel concrete by visualizing how close something is to a goal. This is useful for fundraising targets, project phases, skill levels, feature adoption, or any scenario where progress motivates action. Visitors can grasp status in seconds without reading explanations. The bars also add motion and structure to otherwise static sections, improving visual engagement. When placed near calls to action, progress indicators can increase participation by showing momentum, urgency, or the value of contributing to reach the next milestone.
