How to add Stories to a Cratejoy store

Embed Stories on Cratejoy

01

Create a Stories app for Cratejoy on Common Ninja

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

02

Save the Stories app

When you're done creating the Stories 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 Stories Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Stories app to your Cratejoy 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 Cratejoy store.

04

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

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

Why Use This Widget

Use the Stories widget when you want to bring a familiar, social style content format to your site. Short, swipeable stories are perfect for updates, product highlights, promotions, behind the scenes looks, and quick announcements that would get lost in a long page. This widget presents content in a vertical, tap friendly format that works especially well on mobile and feels natural to users who spend time on social media. You can combine images, short texts, and clips to create guided sequences that tell a focused story. It keeps visitors engaged, encourages exploration, and gives you a flexible space to surface timely content without redesigning your main layouts.
