The Embedded Form Opt-in Tool will help you collect subscribers and grow your text list. It is a built-in form, integrated directly into your website's content, and appears as a form that users can fill out with their email address and/or phone number. These opt-ins will serve the purpose of subscribing users and collecting valuable data.

Embedded opt-ins will blend in with the site and will be present on the storefront as part of the site. You can decide where the form is embedded on your website.

This seamless integration makes it convenient for both website owners and users to facilitate communication and stay connected.
