How to add Scratch Card to a Modx website

Embed Scratch Card on Modx

01

Create a Scratch Card widget for Modx on Common Ninja

First, create a Modx Scratch Card widget on Common Ninja. On the widgets catalog, find the Scratch Card and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Scratch Card widget

When you're done creating the Scratch Card 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 Scratch Card Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Scratch Card widget to your Modx 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 Modx website.

04

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

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

Why Use This Widget

Use the Scratch Card widget when you want to turn offers or rewards into a small moment of surprise that feels personal. Visitors virtually scratch the card to reveal discounts, gifts, or messages, which makes the act of discovering a reward more memorable than simply reading a line of text. This is useful for campaigns, loyalty programs, holiday promotions, and interactive contests. By tying the reveal to email capture or specific actions, you can use the scratch card as both an engagement mechanic and a lead generator. Done well, it can raise participation and make your brand feel more playful and approachable.
