Dynamic Retailer pages
6 July 2024
Introduction
At Snap, we provide retailers with unique, always-up-to-date pages that require minimal effort to integrate. By copying just a few lines of code, retailers can seamlessly embed in their website a dedicated page showcasing their exclusive offers, a loan calculator, and other relevant financial data. This approach simplifies the process for non-technical users, as it requires only basic knowledge of their CRM.
We support integration with over 10+ CRMs, providing detailed step-by-step guides tailored to each platform. Once a retailer partners with Snap, they receive a link containing the necessary setup instructions, making the onboarding process swift and frictionless.
Effortless Implementation
The setup process is straightforward:
- The retailer signs up with Snap and receives a personalized integration link.
- They copy and paste a small HTML snippet into their website or CRM.
- The page dynamically loads, fetching and rendering content directly from Snap’s servers.
Here’s an simplified example of the HTML snippet that retailers insert:
How the Script Works
This script ensures that retailers' pages are always up-to-date by dynamically fetching content from Snap’s servers on every request. Here’s a breakdown of how it functions:
Shadow DOM for Encapsulation:
· The script initializes a shadowRoot within the #snapfinance-page container. This ensures that styles and scripts are isolated, preventing conflicts with the retailer’s existing site.
Loading State Handling:
· A loading template is injected while the actual content is being retrieved.
Fetching Dynamic Content:
· The script makes an asynchronous request to a Snap-hosted API endpoint ({{super_secret_url_with_super_secret_token}}).
· The response contains a page template (HTML content) and a script (additional JavaScript logic).
Rendering the Page:
· The received html page is injected into the Shadow DOM, rendering the main content.
· A script element is created dynamically, injecting the script to enhance interactivity.
Error Handling:
· Our systems are up over 99.99% of the time, but if for some reason the fetch request fails, a fallback error message will be displayed.
Cleanup Process:
· The initial loading template is removed once the content is successfully loaded.
Business Benefits
1. Seamless Integration
Retailers do not need to worry about maintaining the content themselves. The Snap-hosted solution ensures that every update, promotion, or financial tool appears on their site instantly without manual intervention.
2. Increased Conversion Rates
By embedding an offer page that remains fresh and relevant, retailers can improve engagement and conversion rates. Customers always see the latest financing options and incentives without any outdated information.
3. Zero Maintenance for Retailers
Since all content is fetched dynamically, retailers never have to update the page manually. This minimizes technical debt and reliance on development teams for maintenance.
4. Cross-CRM Compatibility
With support for over 10 CRMs, our solution is versatile and adapts to various retailer ecosystems, making it easy to implement regardless of the platform.
5. Secure & Reliable
Data is served securely via Snap’s infrastructure, ensuring that only authorized retailers with a valid client ID can display their custom pages. The Shadow DOM encapsulation further enhances security by preventing malicious tampering.
6. Mobile Optimization
The application is fully responsive and meticulously optimized to deliver a seamless user experience across all devices, browsers, and screen sizes.
Conclusion
Our innovative approach to dynamic page embedding allows retailers to integrate financing options effortlessly while ensuring the content is always up to date. By leveraging the power of JavaScript, Shadow DOM, and Server-Side-Rendering, we provide a robust, scalable, and secure solution that benefits both businesses and their customers.
