Embedding Stores and Plan Offerings into Websites

Business Manager offers you two tools for showing your offerings to visitors of your websites: website widgets for embedding online stores and links to plan offerings.

A website widget is a piece of code that shows a part of an online store on your website. Widgets either list your plans (catalog widget) or let your customers check availability of domain names (domain widget) to further add domains to their subscriptions. When customers select a plan or submit a domain name, they are forwarded to a particular online store where they can complete the order.

To create a widget within an online store, go to the store page (Business Setup > Online Stores > store name) and click the Add Website Widget button. Then fill in the required fields and save the widget.

To add a widget to your website, obtain the widget code by clicking Get Code in Available Operations list on the store page. A widget code may be server-side (written in PHP) or customer-side (written in JavaScript). After you obtain the code, add it to your website pages on which you want to show the widget.

To let customers quickly subscribe to a certain plan directly from a website, place links to the plan offerings on this website. When a customer clicks such a link, they are redirected to an online store and the selected subscription is automatically added to their cart. Then they complete placing the order as usual: log in or create an account, choose a payment method, and confirm the order. For each plan, the list of links to the plan offerings in online stores is available in the plan properties in Business setup > Plans > <plan name>.
