Pixieset Website supports code snippets in the header and footer area of your site pages. Third-party code snippets can be used to display pop-ups and widgets, collect analytics, and more.
Note: Custom code tools are an upgraded feature available on the Pro Website Plan or the Pro/Ultimate Suite Plan.

Before you start
- A Pro Website Plan or Pro/Ultimate Suite Plan is required to add custom code to your published website.
- The header and footer area is intended for code related to site analytics, metadata, pop-ups, or live chat widgets. It is not intended to be used to significantly redesign your site’s content, which can impact your site functionality.
- The header area will add code to the ‘head’ tag on every page of your site, and the footer area will add code before the ‘body’ tag on every page. If your code is meant to appear on a specific page, see Adding a custom embed code block instead.
- If you are experiencing issues with custom code, we recommend reaching out to the third-party that you received the code from. They will be best equipped to provide support for your code snippet.
Adding custom code to your site’s header or footer
To set up code in your site’s header or footer area:
- Go to Settings > Advanced.
- Paste your code into Custom Header Code or Custom Footer Code.
- Preview or publish your site to see your code in effect.
Tip: Platforms that provide code snippets typically specify whether the code should be inserted in the header or footer of your site. If they do not, try adding it to the header area.
