Store Embeds for Your Website

Store Embeds for Your Website

Store embeds let you publish your upcoming Guildhall events directly on your existing website without rebuilding your event system.

Why use store embeds

  • Keep your website current automatically as Guildhall events change.
  • Reduce duplicate work (no manual copy/paste across platforms).
  • Give players one trusted source of event details and join actions.
  • Improve local discovery by showing fresh schedules where your audience already visits.
  • Keep branding consistent with your store colors and layout preferences.

What embeds are best for

  • Homepages that need a "what's coming up" section.
  • Event landing pages for weekly leagues or game-night programs.
  • Marketing pages where you want a live schedule plus RSVP/Details actions.
  • CMS platforms (WordPress, Squarespace, Webflow, custom sites) that support iframe or script embeds.

1. Configure embed settings

  • Open My Store.
  • Go to Embeds.
  • Set display controls like:
  • max events
  • theme (light or dark)
  • layout (split or stacked)
  • density (compact or comfortable)
  • CTA mode (none, details, join, both)
  • toggles for images, descriptions, location, recurrence, header, and branding

2. Copy and place embed code

Use the embed snippet provided in the store embed section. Typical integration methods:

  • iframe embed for quick setup and broad compatibility.
  • JS embed for more dynamic integrations.

If your site blocks external iframes/scripts, update your site security settings to allow your Guildhall embed origin.

3. Test mobile and desktop behavior

  • Confirm card density and layout are readable on phones.
  • Check CTA behavior (Details/Join) in new-tab vs same-tab mode.
  • Verify description length and image usage don’t create layout overflow.

5. Common mistakes to avoid

  • Publishing embed with stale store branding (name/logo/colors not updated).
  • Showing too many events, making the page feel crowded.
  • Hiding location/details on in-person events where players need quick context.
  • Not validating mobile behavior before publishing.

6. Pair embeds with other store tools
