Empire Flippers Valuation Tool Snippet

This is the Empire Flippers embeddable “Valuation Tool Snippet”. Give it a try below and then read on to see how easy it is to embed on your own website just by copy+pasting a snippet of HTML into your website’s source code!

The most important piece of information a prospective seller might want to know is the value of their online business.

Especially for first-time sellers, there is a lot of ambiguity and lack of knowledge about how their business might be valued on the open market. Some sellers might have unrealistically high expectations (100x monthly profits) while others might even underestimate what their business might be worth (“You mean I can actually sell my hobby website for $X00,000?!”).

With the Empire Flippers Valuation Tool we provide clarity in this situation with a best-in-class automated valuation based on real-world closed deals on our marketplace. In our online tool we use as many as 10+ different data points to generate a valuation pinpointed to a +/- 15% range using our proprietary valuation algorithm and data set of deals sold on the Empire Flippers Marketplace (especially focusing on deals sold in the last 6 months to accurately account for changing market conditions).

Now with the Valuation Tool Snippet, we are opening up this technology to our Referral Partners (& others) for usage on their own websites, apps and more.

If you regularly deal with online business owners, you can now provide them with on-demand valuations for their business, spiking their interest in Empire Flippers before then linking them over using your referral link.

Overview

Easily embed the Empire Flippers Valuation Tool on your website with our snippet. It allows users to input business data and calculate its valuation. This guide explains how to integrate the snippet in different modes and customize it to suit your needs.

Quick Start

To embed the Valuation Tool, copy the following snippet into your website and replace “YOUR_REFERRAL_CODE” with your referral code:

<div id="ef-vt-embed"></div>
<script 
  src="https://vt-snippet.empireflippers.com/snippet-v2.1.js" 
  data-referral-code="YOUR_REFERRAL_CODE"
  data-style-url="https://vt-snippet.empireflippers.com/default-v2.css"
></script>

By default the snippet uses the “auto mode”. This will cause the snippet to display fields relevant to the selected business monetization model just like the web version of the Empire Flippers Valuation Tool does.

If you would like to limit the monetizations the user can select, you can add the following configuration. Please refer to the Available Fields section of this document to see which monetizations are supported.

<div id="ef-vt-embed"></div>
<script>
  window.efVtConfig = {
    fields: "auto",
    monetizations: ["Amazon FBA", "eCommerce"]
  }
</script>
<script 
  src="https://vt-snippet.empireflippers.com/snippet-v2.1.js" 
  data-referral-code="YOUR_REFERRAL_CODE"
  data-style-url="https://vt-snippet.empireflippers.com/default-v2.css"
</script>

You can control where the snippet is displayed by adding the data-target attribute to the script tag and setting it to the ID of the element where you want the snippet to appear. By default the element with the ef-vt-embed ID will be used.

Custom mode

Custom mode allows you to specify exactly which fields to show. You can disable certain fields and set default values. Additionally, you can customize the logo displayed on the snippet.

If your audience only consists of Amazon FBA business owners you might want to lock the snippet to only allow the Amazon FBA monetization with specific relevant fields:

<div id="ef-vt-embed"></div>
<script>
  window.efVtConfig = {
    fields: [
      { name: "monetization", defaultValue: "Amazon FBA", disabled: true },
      { name: "average_monthly_net_profit" },
      { name: "business_created_at" },
      { name: "number_of_products" }
    ],
    logo: "https://vt-snippet.empireflippers.com/custom-logo.png",
  }
</script>
<script 
  src="https://vt-snippet.empireflippers.com/snippet-v2.1.js" 
  data-referral-code="YOUR_REFERRAL_CODE"
  data-style-url="https://vt-snippet.empireflippers.com/default-v2.css"
></script>

The above example also shows how to override the logo image in case you want to combine your company’s logo with Empire Flippers. However, please do retain the Empire Flippers logo as part of your logo image so users understand that the Valuation Tool is powered by Empire Flippers data.
