Types of Embeds

When you initialize an Embed, you must specify a type.

There are three options for Embed type:

• API
• Standalone
• Widget

Keep reading to learn what each Embed type does.

API Embed

An Embed of type API instantiates the BB global variable on your web page. This variable provides access to the BankingBridge API SDK. An API Embed does not create any UI elements when it is initialized.

Use the API SDK to create custom content and functionality for your specific use case.

Standalone Embed

A Standalone Embed instantiates the BB global variable and places two buttons on the page: Home Purchase and Home Refinance.

These buttons correspond to two different loan scenarios. Each takes the user through a wizard that gathers the user’s information and then provides a quote with several available loan rate options for the user.

Widget Embed

A Widget Embed instantiates the BB global variable and creates a loan officer web page with a Contact Info section and a Custom offer section.

The page features a Contact button which opens a contact form, and an Apply Now button which takes the user to a loan application page on the customer’s website.

The Contact Info section introduces the loan officer to the user, and the Custom offer section presents the two buttons for loan scenarios: Home Purchase and Home Refinance.
