Step 3: Inserting your embed script into BigCommerce

We can go ahead and create a blog post with your Shorthand Story in BigCommerce; the steps below can also be used on pages.

  1. Begin by creating a blog post.

  2. Provide a title for the article.

  3. Click the 'HTML' button in the editor.

  4. Paste the embed code you previously copied into the editor.

You can now save the post as a draft or publish your post to view the embedded story in BigCommerce.

Please note: When embedding, stories may not appear full-width or align perfectly on your site. This is because your BigCommerce site stylings may override Shorthand stylings or the page template is not set to full-width. See the CSS tips in this article for assistance in adjusting page width.
