Manual Control

Findify's Merchant.JS (MJS) library exposes a simple API that you can use to manage widgets, listen for and trigger different events, or utilize external analytics - thus further customizing the look and feel of the Findify integration. The MJS iterates over window.findifyCallbacks array and injects the findify object there. You can also access window.findify when MJS is fully loaded.

📘

To wait until Findify is loaded push your callbacks into window.findifyCallbacks array.

window.findifyCallbacks = [
  (findify) => { ...your code here }
]
