How do you create a hyperlink to the Xplorie Widget?

Follow these steps to add or update a hyperlink to the Xplorie Widget on your website.

Before you begin

The Xplorie Widget makes it easy to promote activities and drive bookings directly from your website. If you have already embedded the widget on your website, and now you are looking to either add or update a hyperlink to it on your website please continue reading.

If you have not embedded the Xplorie Widget, please review and complete the steps required in this article before proceeding.

If you are unsure of where you should put the Xplorie Widget, please review this article.


Make future updates easier

If you want to avoid manually updating this link across multiple pages/locations in the future:

  1. Create a short redirect link on your site (for example, /xplorie-program).

  2. Point the redirect to the full widget link. 
    ex. https://app.xplorie.com/widgets/:your_widget_id:/

  3. Use the short link everywhere on your site.

  4. If Xplorie provides you with a new widget link later, you’ll only need to update the redirect once, instead of editing multiple pages.

You can also use a simple link generator tool (such as an online URL builder like Rebrandly or Bitly) to create consistent, trackable URLs.

Identify the Link Location

Decide where on your site the link should appear (navigation menu, footer, button, or inline text). If you’re replacing an old link, note where it exists so you can edit it directly.

 

 

Add a New Link

  1. Log in to your website editor (CMS, site builder, or code editor).

  2. Highlight the text, button, or image you want to make clickable.

  3. Look for the link/chain icon or a field labeled “Link,” “URL,” or “Destination.”

  4. Paste your widget link. It should look similar to the one below. 

    https://app.xplorie.com/widgets/:your_widget_id:/

    1. (Optional) For external links, select “Open in a new tab” if your editor provides the option.

  5. Save/Publish your changes.

  6. Verify Your Link:

    • Visit the page and click the link to ensure it opens the widget correctly.

    • If you set it to open in a new tab, confirm it behaves as expected.

    • Test on both desktop and mobile.


Update an Existing Link

  1. Log in to your site editor.

  2. Locate the existing link you want to update.

  3. Click on the link or button and choose Edit Link (usually a pencil or link icon).

  4. Replace the old URL with your new link.  It will look similar to the one below. 

    https://app.xplorie.com/widgets/:your_widget_id:/

  5. Save/Publish your changes.

  6. Verify Your Link:

    • Visit the page and click the link to ensure it opens the widget correctly.

    • If you set it to open in a new tab, confirm it behaves as expected.

    • Test on both desktop and mobile.
