Widgets & Integrations That Connect Everything
Transform your website into a business automation hub
In today's connected digital landscape, your website shouldn't be an island—it should be the hub that connects all your business tools and enhances customer experience. ThinkMents' Widgets & Integrations services add powerful functionality to your website, connecting it with the platforms and tools that power your business. Since 2002, we've been implementing custom integrations that automate workflows, improve user experience, and eliminate manual data headaches. From simple chat widgets to complex API integrations with enterprise systems, we have the technical expertise to make your digital ecosystem work seamlessly together.
The Power of Connected Systems
Disconnected tools create inefficiency, errors, and frustration:
The right integrations transform your operations:
Modern customers expect Amazon-level convenience. They want to book appointments online, get instant confirmations, receive automated updates, and interact with your business 24/7. Widgets and integrations make this possible without adding staff.
ThinkMents builds the connections that turn your website into a business automation hub—reducing manual work, improving customer experience, and giving you better data for decision-making.
Widget Services
Add powerful functionality directly to your website
Live Chat & Chatbots
Engage website visitors instantly with live chat and AI-powered chatbots. We implement chat solutions that answer common questions, qualify leads, book appointments, and connect visitors with your team when needed. Chat widgets increase engagement and conversions by providing immediate assistance. We configure chatbots with your FAQs and business rules to handle routine inquiries 24/7.
Appointment Scheduling
Let customers book appointments directly on your website. We integrate scheduling tools like Calendly, Acuity, and custom solutions that sync with your calendar, collect intake information, send confirmations, and automate reminders. Online scheduling reduces phone tag, fills your calendar, and provides better customer experience. No more back-and-forth emails to find available times.
Contact Forms & Lead Capture
Capture leads effectively with forms that do more than collect information. We build smart forms with conditional logic, multi-step flows, file uploads, and validation. Form submissions automatically route to your CRM, trigger email sequences, notify your team, and integrate with your marketing automation. Every lead is captured, organized, and actionable.
Payment & E-Commerce Widgets
Accept payments directly on your website with secure payment integrations. We implement Stripe, PayPal, Square, and other processors for one-time payments, subscriptions, deposits, and full e-commerce. Payment widgets are PCI compliant and optimized for conversion with minimal friction checkout experiences.
Review & Testimonial Widgets
Display social proof that builds trust and drives conversions. We integrate review widgets that pull ratings from Google, Facebook, Yelp, and industry platforms. Dynamic testimonial displays showcase customer feedback throughout your site. Review widgets can also encourage new reviews by making the process easy for satisfied customers.
Social Media Integration
Connect your website with your social presence. We implement social feeds, share buttons, follow widgets, and social login options. Social integrations increase engagement, extend content reach, and make it easy for visitors to connect with your brand across platforms.
Maps & Location Widgets
Help customers find you with embedded maps, store locators, and location-based features. We implement Google Maps integrations, multi-location directories, driving directions, and service area displays. Location widgets are especially important for businesses with physical locations or defined service territories.
Video & Media Widgets
Enhance your website with embedded video players, galleries, and interactive media. We integrate YouTube, Vimeo, and self-hosted video with optimized performance. Lightbox galleries, before/after sliders, and interactive portfolios showcase your work effectively.
Integration Services
Connect your website with the platforms that power your business
CRM Integration
Connect your website with your customer relationship management system. We integrate with HubSpot, Salesforce, Zoho, Pipedrive, and dozens of other CRMs. Lead data flows automatically from web forms to your CRM with proper field mapping, lead scoring, and workflow triggers. No more manual entry or lost leads.
Marketing Automation
Link your website with email marketing and automation platforms. We integrate Mailchimp, Constant Contact, ActiveCampaign, HubSpot, and other tools. Newsletter signups, lead magnets, abandoned cart sequences, and nurture campaigns all connect seamlessly with your website activity.
Accounting & Invoicing
Connect your website with financial systems. We integrate QuickBooks, Xero, FreshBooks, and other accounting platforms. E-commerce sales, payment data, and customer information sync automatically, reducing manual bookkeeping and improving accuracy.
Inventory & Order Management
Keep inventory accurate across channels with real-time integrations. We connect your website with inventory management systems, point-of-sale systems, and fulfillment platforms. Stock levels update automatically, preventing overselling and ensuring accurate availability display.
Calendar & Scheduling Systems
Sync website scheduling with your existing calendar infrastructure. We integrate with Google Calendar, Outlook, and scheduling platforms to ensure appointments appear where your team works. Two-way sync prevents double-booking and keeps everyone informed.
Custom API Development
When off-the-shelf integrations don't exist, we build them. Our developers create custom API connections between your website and proprietary systems, legacy software, or specialized platforms. If data needs to flow between systems, we can make it happen.

Why Professional Integration Matters
DIY integrations often fail because:
- Incorrect configuration causes data errors
- Security vulnerabilities expose customer data
- Updates break connections without warning
- Edge cases create silent failures
- Poor error handling loses critical data
Professional integration ensures:
- Correct setup from the start
- Secure data handling and transmission
- Robust error handling and monitoring
- Documentation for future maintenance
- Ongoing support when issues arise
The cost of professional integration is far less than cleaning up data messes, recovering from security breaches, or losing customers to broken functionality.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do integrations cost?
Simple widget implementations start at $200-500. Standard integrations range from $500-2,000. Complex custom integrations are quoted based on requirements. We provide detailed estimates after understanding your needs.
How long does integration take?
Simple widgets can be implemented same-day. Standard integrations typically take 1-2 weeks. Complex custom development may take 4-8 weeks depending on scope.
What if the platforms I use don't have native integrations?
We can build custom integrations using APIs. If platforms have APIs (most modern platforms do), we can connect them. We'll assess feasibility during our discovery process.
Will integrations slow down my website?
Properly implemented integrations have minimal performance impact. We optimize for speed and use asynchronous loading where appropriate to prevent slowdowns.
What happens when platforms update their systems?
Updates occasionally break integrations. Our maintenance clients receive priority support to fix issues quickly. We monitor for problems and proactively address changes when possible.
Can you integrate with legacy or custom systems?
Usually yes. If your system has an API or database access, we can likely build a connection. We'll evaluate technical feasibility during discovery.
Do I need ongoing support for integrations?
We recommend it. Integrations require occasional maintenance as platforms evolve. Our support plans include integration monitoring and updates.
