Who uses a stock ticker widget?
Live market data makes finance-related pages more useful and gives visitors a reason to come back. A stock ticker widget works well for:
- Finance blogs, newsletters and news sites
- Investor relations pages that show a company’s own share price
- Crypto projects and communities tracking coin prices
- Trading educators, financial advisers and fintech websites
Good to know: The widget displays market data for information only. It isn’t investment advice, so it’s a good idea to say that near the widget and remind visitors to check prices with their broker before trading.
How to add the stock ticker widget to your website
After you save the widget, Elfsight gives you a short embed code. Paste it into a custom HTML or embed block where you want the prices to show. It works on WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, Webflow, Google Sites and any other website that accepts custom HTML. For step-by-step instructions for each platform, see our guide on how to add embed code to any website builder.
A ticker bar fits well at the top or bottom of a page, while a table or cards work better inside an article or on a dedicated markets page. If you only need a few headline prices, keep the list short so the widget stays easy to scan, and save the table layout for pages where readers compare many assets.
How to manage your stock ticker widget
Log in to your Elfsight dashboard to edit your widget at any time, for example to add or remove tickers. Changes go live automatically, so you don’t need to replace the embed code on your website. From the dashboard you can also create more widgets, copy the embed code again and see how many views your widget has used this month.
