FAQs

Q: What about Inline Campaigns or Campaign Specific Embed Codes?

A: If you’re adding an inline type campaign (After Post / Inline or Sidebar), you’ll add either the HTML Placeholder (if using Account-wide Embed) or the entire Campaign Specific Embed where you want your campaign to appear on the page.

Q: What domain do I enter when creating my Campaign?

A: When creating your Campaign you can add the domain *.mybigcommerce.com for your campaign to load on. This will allow you to view the Campaign when previewing your site.

If your site uses a custom domain, you should also add your site’s custom domain (the domain used to reach the front-end of your site) in the Setup panel > Optin Campaign Website section of the Campaign Builder.
