Adding the Flattr button to your site

You can add the Flattr button to your site in several ways. This page describes and links to most of them.

Manually submit things

You can manually submit things by using the Submit tool on Flattr. This feature is the one to use if you want to have just one single or a few buttons on your website or homepage, etc.

We have two types of buttons – one JavaScript-based button with counter and one static non-JavaScript button without a counter. We recommend that you use the JavaScript button if you can. Just use the static button on sites that don't allow JavaScript.

You find the code for both buttons on the Flattr page for the thing. The code is also displayed directly after submitting the thing.

If you can't use any of the above you can always use this image and link it directly to your thing page on flattr.com.

Auto submit things with plugins or API

There are several ways to auto-submit a thing. Here are most of them.
