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:

<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:

import { FAQWidget } from '@faq/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:

<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:

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...'
});
