Question
What’s the difference between the four embed script options? Which embed script option should I use for my website?

Answer
When embedding your form, PlatoForms offers four modes to match different use cases. Here’s a quick breakdown to help you choose the right one:
1. Standard embed
What it does: Places the form directly on your webpage.
Best for: Contact forms, registration forms, or any form that needs to be fully visible on the page.
Example: A “Contact Us” section on a homepage.
2. Modal embed

What it does: Opens the form in a popup window when users click a button.
Best for: Actions like “Get a Quote” or “Sign Up” that require minimal space on the main page.
Customizable: Adjust the popup’s width and the button text.
Example: A “Subscribe Now” button that triggers a signup form.
3. Popup embed

What it does: Displays the form as a floating button on the page. Clicking the button opens a small form window.
Best for: Feedback forms, subscription forms, or forms that should be accessible but not intrusive.
Customizable: Adjust the button’s size, style, and the form’s corner radius.
Example: A floating “Feedback” button on the side of a webpage.
4. Full-page embed
What it does: Makes the form take up an entire section of the webpage.
Best for: Surveys, detailed questionnaires, or standalone forms that require the user’s full attention.
Example: A “Customer Satisfaction Survey” that spans the full browser window.

How do I choose?
- Use Standard embed if the form is central to your page’s purpose.
- Opt for Modal embed or Popup embed to save space while keeping the form easily accessible.
- Go with Full-page embed for forms that need undivided attention or extra space.
