Embed your changelog on your own website

Shipstar includes an embeddable changelog widget that lets you display your published changelog directly on your own website or product — no iframes from a third-party domain, just a lightweight script that renders your content in your own page. This is the fastest way to keep your users updated without sending them off-site.

Finding your embed code

1. In the dashboard, go to Destinations and open the Website section.
2. Set your changelog slug here. The slug is the unique identifier used in your changelog's public URL and the embed widget uses it to fetch your latest published changelog.
3. Copy the embed code snippet shown on the page. It's a small script tag you can drop into any HTML page.

Adding the widget to your site

1. Paste the embed code into the HTML of the page where you want the changelog to appear — typically a dedicated /changelog page or a sidebar in your web app.
2. The widget fetches your published changelog content from Shipstar and renders it in place. No build step or framework is required.
3. Each time you publish a new changelog in Shipstar, the widget on your site automatically reflects the latest version — you don't need to update the embed code.

Tips and related settings

• Your changelog slug is set in Destinations → Website. If you change the slug, update any manually placed links to the public URL — the embed code itself pulls the slug from your project settings automatically.
• The embeddable widget is the shipstar-embed package from your Shipstar project. You do not need to install or manage it separately; the embed code from the dashboard handles everything.
• Free-plan changelogs include a small "Powered by Shipstar" badge when displayed publicly, including through the widget. Upgrading to a paid plan removes the badge.
