How to add Virtual Tour to a OpenCart store

Embed Virtual Tour on OpenCart

01

Create a Virtual Tour extension for OpenCart on Common Ninja

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

02

Save the Virtual Tour extension

When you're done creating the Virtual Tour 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 Virtual Tour Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Virtual Tour 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 Virtual Tour Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s Virtual Tour 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 Virtual Tour 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 Virtual Tour 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 Virtual Tour widget when space itself is part of your product and you want people to explore it remotely in an immersive way. Interactive 360 views with hotspots let visitors look around at their own pace and focus on details that matter to them. This is powerful for hotels, real estate, campuses, museums, venues, and showrooms. Instead of static galleries, a virtual tour creates the feeling of being there, which helps build confidence before booking or visiting. Hotspots can reveal extra information, photos, or links, turning the tour into an informative experience that answers questions as users move through the environment.
