Here’s a brief orientation to this Quick Start.

Content

The copy/content itself can be easily updated by double-clicking. Update the text with your desired copy. The Quick Start is fully responsive and it also resizes into the available area of the page it is embedded in.

After creating a traffic source, locate the Embed Code button on your Traffic Source Management screen. Click the button and copy the code to be you can place into your web page. For more information on ion embed code, click here.

With your embed code in place on the external web page, when a visitor enters in the desired number of units, they will be taken to a page to recalculate or to order now. If they choose to order now, they will be taken to a form that will render within the same area as the first page.

This will not only allow you to add content to your website that is controlled within your ion console but will also allow you to test this content! You can set up a split test for this calculator just like you would any other experience within your creative, by adding two or more creatives to the same traffic source.
