<li><strong>Component layout (<code>is-component</code>)</strong>: Optional inline “component” mode for embedding the chat in-page (not floating); shortcode <code>is_component="true"</code> with optional <code>component_min_height</code> and per-element radius attributes</li>
<li><strong>Rich Media Support</strong>: Image upload and sharing capabilities for enhanced communication</li>

<h4>How It Works</h4>
<ol>
<li><strong>Install & Activate</strong>: Install the plugin and activate it</li>
<li><strong>Get Your Key</strong>: Obtain your public key from the BetterCX dashboard</li>
<li><strong>Configure</strong>: Set your preferences in the admin settings</li>
<li><strong>Deploy</strong>: Use shortcodes, widgets, or automatic placement</li>
<li><strong>Monitor</strong>: Track interactions and improve customer support</li>
</ol>
<h4>Integration Options</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Shortcode</strong>: <code>[bettercx_widget]</code> – Use anywhere in posts, pages, or widgets</li>
<li><strong>Widget Areas</strong>: Drag and drop into any widget area</li>
<li><strong>Automatic Placement</strong>: Global widget placement on all pages</li>
<li><strong>Custom Positioning</strong>: Left or right side positioning</li>
<li><strong>Embedded Sizing</strong>: Full screen, medium (60%), or small (40%) width with 4:3 aspect ratio</li>
<li><strong>Embedded Placement</strong>: Top, center, or bottom positioning for embedded widgets</li>
<li><strong>Component mode shortcode</strong>: Use <code>[bettercx_widget is_component="true" ...]</code> for the Stencil <code>is-component</code> layout; the plugin sets the <code>isComponent</code> property after load so boolean attributes work reliably (same pattern as <code>embedded</code>)</li>
<li><strong>Theme Integration</strong>: Seamless integration with any WordPress theme</li>
