How to add QR Code to your website

Embed QR Code on Your Website

01

Create a QR Code widget for your website on Common Ninja

First, create a QR Code widget on Common Ninja. On the widgets catalog, find the QR Code and enter the Editor.

02

Save the QR Code widget

When you're done creating the QR Code widget, 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 QR Code Embed Code

When you're ready to add the QR Code widget to your website, 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 widget embed code. In the next steps, you will paste this code into your website.

04

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

Next, go to your Platform website 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 Platform’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the QR Code Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s QR Code widget on your Platform website.

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 QR Code widget on your Platform widget. You can just add the code to a special HTML section in the text editor.

06

Alternative Method 2: Add it directly to your Platform website’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 QR Code widget to your Platform website. You can do this by putting it straight into your Platform website's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the QR Code widget when you want visitors to reach a page, download, or contact option instantly from their phone. It turns a scan into a direct action, so people do not need to type a URL or search for the right page. This helps keep high intent visitors moving without friction. The widget includes 9 layouts that combine the QR code image with a title and description, so visitors know exactly what they are scanning. You can create different QR types depending on what you want to share, like a URL, WiFi access, phone call, email, file, location, or social link. This makes it easy to place a clear, branded Website QR Code anywhere you want on your site.
