Getting started with Amabrik

Amabrik adds widgets to your website without touching its code more than once. You paste a single script tag, then everything else (a cookie banner, a popup, a contact form, a chatbot, reviews, and more) is turned on, styled, and switched off from the dashboard at app.amabrik.com. The same one snippet runs every widget you enable, so you never go back to your site’s code to add a second widget.

This guide walks you from zero to a live widget: create an account, add your site, copy the snippet, paste it once, confirm it’s working, then enable your first widget. Per-platform install steps (Shopify, WordPress, Wix, and the rest) live in their own guides, linked below.

1. Create your account

Go to app.amabrik.com and sign up. You can use email and password, or sign in with Google or GitHub. There’s no card required to start, and you get a 7-day free trial of a paid plan.

Once you’re in, the dashboard asks for your first site. A “site” is one website you want widgets on. You give it a name (anything that helps you recognize it, like “My store”) and your site’s address. Amabrik creates the site and generates a unique site ID for it. That ID is what ties your dashboard settings to the script on your page.

If you manage more than one website, you can add more sites later. Your plan sets how many sites you can have at once (see Plans below).

2. Copy your snippet

Open the Install page in the dashboard. At the top you’ll see your embed code. It looks like this, with your own site ID in place of the example:

<script src="https://cdn.amabrik.com/v1/loader.js" data-site="YOUR_SITE_ID" async></script>

A few things worth knowing about it:

• It’s the same one snippet for every widget. You paste it once, then add and remove widgets from the dashboard without ever editing your site again.
• The async attribute means it loads in the background and never blocks your page from showing. The loader file is small (under 5 KB), and each widget’s code is fetched separately, only when that widget is actually used on the page.
• The data-site value is your site ID. It’s a random public ID, safe to appear in your page source. It carries no private information about your account.

Click the copy button to put the snippet on your clipboard.

3. Paste it on your site

Paste the snippet once into your site’s HTML, ideally just before the closing </head> tag so it loads early. It’s a universal snippet, so the only thing that changes from one platform to another is where you find the place to paste it.

Most website builders have a field for exactly this. It’s usually labeled something like “custom code”, “header code”, “head”, or “embed code”. Paste the snippet there and save or publish.

For step-by-step instructions for your specific builder, open the install guide for it:

• Shopify
• WordPress
• Wix
• Squarespace
• Webflow
• BigCommerce
• GoDaddy
• Joomla, Drupal, PrestaShop, Ghost, Big Cartel

The Install page has a searchable list of these guides, plus a “Request Installation” option: if you’d rather not paste code yourself, fill in your site, where the widget should go, and how to grant access, and the Amabrik team installs it for you. Most requests are handled within one business day.

4. Verify it’s live

After you’ve saved and published your site, load a page that has the snippet on it. Then check that the loader is being requested:

• Open your browser’s developer tools (right-click the page, choose Inspect), go to the Network tab, and reload. You should see a request to cdn.amabrik.com/v1/loader.js.
• Or just view your page’s source (right-click, View Page Source) and search for amabrik. The snippet should be there.

If the snippet is present but no widget shows up yet, that’s expected: you haven’t enabled a widget yet. Let’s do that next.

One more thing to know: a site whose trial has ended and that isn’t on a paid plan won’t render any widgets, even if the snippet is in place. The loader simply does nothing in that case, so your site is never affected. Start a plan or trial and widgets switch back on.

5. The dashboard

The dashboard is where everything happens after install. Here’s the layout:

• Widgets. One entry per widget type. Click a widget to set it up. If you have no instance of that widget yet, clicking it takes you straight into creating one (the editor opens, or template selection first for widgets that start from a template). If you already have one or more, you get a list with a button to add another.
• Editor. Each widget opens an editor with a small, consistent set of tabs (Content, Style, Display, Targeting, Advanced). The same setting always lives under the same tab across every widget, so once you’ve set up one widget you already know your way around the next.
• Live preview. The editor is split-screen: your settings on one side, a live preview on the other, in both desktop and mobile. Change a setting and the preview updates as you go, so you see the result before it’s ever on your site.
• Autosave. Your changes save as you work, and a save action publishes them to your live site. There’s no separate “deploy” step: once saved, the new config is served to your visitors.

You never paste anything new for a widget you turn on from here. The one snippet you already added is all your site needs.

6. Enable your first widget

Pick a widget from the Widgets page, set it up in the editor, and save. That’s it. The next time a visitor loads your site, the loader fetches your published config and shows the widget. There’s nothing extra to paste for most widgets.

A small number of widgets show up exactly where you place them on the page (a form is the main one). For those, the editor gives you a tiny anchor snippet to paste at the spot you want it. That’s the only case where you add anything to your page beyond the one loader snippet, and the editor tells you when it applies. Widgets that float or sit at the page level (like the cookie banner and the popup) need nothing extra at all.

To turn a widget off, disable it in the dashboard. Amabrik only publishes enabled widgets, so a disabled one stops showing on your site without any code change on your end.

7. Plans and the free trial

Amabrik is priced by how many sites you run, not by traffic. There are no pageview caps on any plan, and no “Powered by” badge on your widgets.

Every plan includes every widget. You start with a 7-day free trial of a paid plan with no card required. During the trial your widgets run live on your site. If you don’t subscribe by the end of the trial, your widgets pause (they stay set up exactly as you left them) until you pick a plan. There’s also a 14-day money-back guarantee after you subscribe.

You can compare plans and subscribe on the Plans page in the dashboard. For exact current pricing and the latest per-plan site counts, check the Plans page, since that’s always the source of truth.

8. Where your leads go

This matters, so it’s worth being clear: Amabrik does not store the leads your widgets capture.

When a visitor submits an email through the email-capture widget or fills in a form, that submission is forwarded straight to the integration you’ve connected (your own CRM, email tool, or webhook). It’s never saved on Amabrik’s side, and it’s never logged. Amabrik is not a CRM and there is no place in the dashboard to browse captured leads, because there’s nothing stored to browse.

The one exception is cookie-consent records. If you use the cookie consent widget, the consent choices your visitors make are stored in your dashboard so you have the record you need for compliance. That’s the only visitor data Amabrik keeps.

Install on your platform

The snippet is the same everywhere, but where you paste it differs by builder. You do not need a CMS: Amabrik works on AI-built sites too. Pick yours for a step-by-step guide:

• Lovable
• v0
• Bolt
• Framer
• Shopify
• WordPress
• Wix
• Squarespace
• BigCommerce
• Webflow
• GoDaddy
• Joomla
• Drupal
• PrestaShop
• Ghost
• Big Cartel

If your platform is not listed, the snippet still works anywhere you can add code to the page head. If you would rather not touch code, use the Request Installation tab on the Install page and our team sets it up for you.

FAQ

Do I need to know how to code?

No. The hardest step is pasting one snippet into a “custom code” field, and most builders have one. If you’d rather not, use the Request Installation option on the Install page and the team does it for you.

Do I add a new snippet for each widget?

No. The same one snippet runs every widget. You add and remove widgets from the dashboard without touching your site again. The only exception is a widget that renders at a specific spot (like a form), which gives you a small anchor snippet for that one spot.

Will the snippet slow down my site?

It loads asynchronously, so it never blocks your page from showing. The loader is under 5 KB, and each widget’s code is only fetched when that widget actually runs on the page.

Is my site ID safe to expose in my page source?

Yes. The data-site value is a random public ID with no private account information in it. It’s meant to live in your page’s HTML.

What happens when my free trial ends?

Your widgets pause and stop showing on your site, but all your settings are kept. Pick a plan and they switch back on right where you left them.

Can I run Amabrik on more than one website?

Yes. Add each website as its own site in the dashboard. How many you can run at once depends on your plan.

Where can I see the leads my forms collect?

You can’t see them in Amabrik, on purpose. Submissions pass straight through to the CRM or tool you connect, and nothing is stored on Amabrik’s side. Connect your integration in the widget’s settings and your leads land there.

Is there a “Powered by Amabrik” badge on my widgets?

No. There’s no badge on any plan.
