# Widget overview

The Coindisco Widget is a hosted buy and sell interface that can be opened as a redirect or embedded in an iframe.

The widget provides:

* provider, region, currency, asset, and payment-method discovery;
* buy, sell, or combined operation modes;
* quote comparison and offer labels;
* direct and indirect purchase flows;
* provider checkout routing;
* configurable assets, networks, providers, defaults, and wallets;
* preset and custom themes.

Only a valid public key is required to open a widget. Behavior and presentation are set in the [widget settings](/coindisco/business-integration-guide/business/overview/customizer.md) or with [URL parameters](/coindisco/business-integration-guide/business/overview/configuration-parameters.md). To choose between a redirect and an iframe, see [Integration options](/coindisco/business-integration-guide/business/integration-options.md).

{% hint style="info" %}
Manage and configure widgets in the [Coindisco dashboard](https://dashboard.coindisco.com/widgets). Copy the widget URL from there instead of assembling it by hand: it already carries the right public key and settings.
