Embed FAQ Widgets Anywhere: Complete Integration Guide

Why Embed FAQ Widgets?

A standalone FAQ page requires users to navigate away from their current task. Embedded widgets bring answers directly to users, wherever they are.

Benefits of embedded widgets:

• Contextual help: Show relevant FAQs based on the current page
• Reduced friction: Users don't need to navigate away
• Higher engagement: Widgets see 3x more interaction than static pages
• Lower ticket volume: Answers at the moment of confusion

Integration Options

1. JavaScript Snippet (Universal)

The simplest integration works on any website. Add this script to your HTML:

```html

<script src="https://www.thefaq.app/widget.js" data-faq-id="your-faq-id" data-position="bottom-right"> </script>

```

That's it-a floating help button appears on your site.

2. React Component

For React applications:

```jsx import { FAQWidget } from '@faqapp/nextjs';

function App() { return ( <div> <YourContent /> <FAQWidget faqId="your-faq-id" position="bottom-right" /> </div> ); } ```

3. Inline Embed

Display FAQ content inline on any page:

```html

<div id="faq-container"></div> <script> TheFAQ.embed({ container: '#faq-container', faqId: 'your-faq-id', category: 'billing' }); </script> \`\`\`

4. WordPress Plugin

Install our WordPress plugin from the directory:

1. Go to Plugins > Add New
2. Search "thefaqapp"
3. Install and activate
4. Enter your FAQ ID in Settings

Customization Options

All widgets support customization:

```javascript TheFAQ.init({ faqId: 'your-faq-id', theme: { primaryColor: '#6366f1', fontFamily: 'Inter, sans-serif' }, position: 'bottom-right', // or 'bottom-left', 'inline' defaultOpen: false, searchPlaceholder: 'Ask a question...' }); ```
