How to add Skill List to a OpenCart store

Embed Skill List on OpenCart

01

Create a Skill List extension for OpenCart on Common Ninja

First, create a OpenCart Skill List extension on Common Ninja. On the extensions catalog, find the Skill List and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Skill List extension

When you're done creating the Skill List 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 Skill List Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Skill List extension to your OpenCart 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 OpenCart store.

04

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

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

Why Use This Widget

Use the Skill List widget when you need to present abilities or qualifications in a way that is easy to scan and feel credible. Instead of burying skills in paragraphs, a structured list highlights each skill clearly, often with levels, icons, or brief context. This is perfect for personal portfolios, resumes, team competency pages, and service sites that sell expertise. Visitors can quickly understand your strengths and fit without effort, which improves trust and decision speed. The list format also helps you group skills by category, making complex profiles feel organized and intentional. A clear skill list increases your perceived professionalism and supports better outcomes in hiring, partnerships, or client acquisition.
