How to Install a Web Plugin to a Website

Overview

Web plugins allow you to automatically and easily display supplier-provided content such as rotating offers, videos, lead capture forms, product showcases, and downloads including white papers and case studies. Syndicated content adjusts automatically based on data about current website visitors. This content allows you to target the interests of website visitors to deliver the most relevant content. Delivering the right content at the right time greatly increases website visitor conversion rates.

Using Zift123, suppliers provide web plugins for the products, industries, and solutions that matter to your business. You can find the supplier-provided web plugins that have not been activated under Web Plugin > Browse. Using the plugins provided under Browse promotes brand standards and efficiency. Web plugins that have been activated can be found under My Web Plugins.

After selecting the web plugin, you can activate it to enable editing details, personalization features, and the embed code. Using these features, you can change text and add images. After saving your changes, you can embed the code by copying the provided snippet into your product showcase or website. 

You can also add web plugins to a campaign.

This guide will show you how to add syndicated content to web locations.
