How to add Image Slider to a Big Cartel website

Embed Image Slider on Big Cartel

01

Create a Image Slider app for Big Cartel on Common Ninja

First, create a Big Cartel Image Slider app on Common Ninja. On the apps catalog, find the Image Slider and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Image Slider app

When you're done creating the Image Slider 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 Image Slider Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Image Slider app to your Big Cartel 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 app embed code. In the next steps, you will paste this code into your Big Cartel website.

04

Paste the code to your Big Cartel website’s HTML field.

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

Why Use This Widget

Use the Image Slider widget when you want to tell a visual story step by step in one location on the page. Each slide can show a feature, stage, or variation, and visitors move through them using arrows or controls. This is useful for showcasing product sets, process explanations, or campaigns that unfold in several scenes. The slider keeps the layout clean while still allowing you to present multiple images with context. On mobile, it lets users swipe instead of scrolling endlessly through large photos. Overall, it is a flexible way to combine design and narrative, helping visitors understand more while keeping your layout structured and easy to follow.
