The Embed plugin lets your Shopify merchants join Branduo’s cross-promotion network without leaving your app. In a few steps, a merchant installs Branduo, approves their plan, and turns on cross-promotions. From then on, their offer can be shown to shoppers at partner brands, and partner brands’ offers are shown to theirs. You paste a script and one line of setup into your page. There is no server code, no token, and no secret: the plugin needs only your public platform ID and the merchant’s store domain. The plugin opens in one of two ways:
  • Page: the plugin appears inside a page in your app.
  • Drawer: the plugin slides in from the right when you open it.
For example, you might add a navigation item called Brand partnerships or a button called Partner with brands.

​
How it works

  1. Your page loads the Branduo script and calls BrandConnect.init with your platform ID and the merchant’s store domain.
  2. The plugin shows the merchant the next step: install, approve the plan, wait for setup, turn on cross-promotions, or live. See Stages.
  3. Branduo does the rest. It imports the store, builds the merchant’s offer from their best sellers, and creates their discount code when they turn on cross-promotions.
A merchant only turns on cross-promotions once. If they already did it through another app, the plugin shows them as live right away.

Before you begin

Contact Branduo Support. We will:
  • Give you your public platform ID.
  • Approve the web addresses (origins) where your app shows the plugin.
  • Record the page in your app where the plugin lives, so merchants come back to it after they approve their plan.
This plugin is for partners who want Branduo inside their own app. Merchants who use Branduo directly can work from Discover & Connect at app.branduo.io.
