Which Thinkific Plan Allows Custom Code Injection for SeaText?

All paid Thinkific plans — Basic and up — allow custom code injection. The free plan does not. If you want to run SeaText on a Thinkific site, you need a paid plan.

SeaText installs through a small JavaScript snippet. You paste that snippet into Thinkific's Site Footer Code field, save it, and confirm the connection. The whole setup takes about a minute, plus a short activation visit.

Choose the free plan if you just want to test Thinkific and do not need custom scripts.

Choose Basic or any higher plan if you need SeaText, analytics, tracking pixels, or other custom code.

If you are choosing between paid plans, the decision should be based on course features, student limits, and price — not on SeaText, because every paid plan handles the code the same way. Plan names and access can change, so check Thinkific's current plan comparison before you buy.

What custom code injection means on Thinkific

Custom code injection means adding your own HTML, CSS, or JavaScript to a website. Thinkific gives you a dedicated place for this: the Site Footer Code field.

Code placed there runs on most pages automatically. SeaText uses this field to load its script across your Thinkific site. This is a site-wide approach, not a one-page edit.

Why the plan question matters

The plan question matters because the free Thinkific plan does not allow custom code. Without custom code access, you cannot add SeaText at all.

If you ignore this, you will copy the SeaText code and then find there is nowhere to paste it, or the save will not work. That is a frustrating way to learn the requirement.

SeaText also has its own pricing, separate from Thinkific's plan price. The plan decision here only decides whether you can install SeaText, not which SeaText features you should use.

Decision criteria for choosing a Thinkific plan

Use these criteria when you compare paid Thinkific plans for SeaText:

• Custom code access: Every paid plan supports it. The free plan does not.
• Admin permission: You need access to the Admin Dashboard and the Code & Analytics tab.
• Course fit: Match the plan to your number of courses, students, quizzes, and certificates.
• Budget: Pick the lowest paid plan that gives you the course features you need.
• Future needs: If you plan to add other scripts later, a paid plan is required anyway.

Decision rule: If you need SeaText, choose the cheapest paid Thinkific plan that has the other course features you need. The code requirement is satisfied by any paid plan.

How to install SeaText on Thinkific

SeaText's official Thinkific setup has three stages: paste the code, link your site, and activate the AI.

Step 1: Paste the JavaScript code

1. Copy the JavaScript code provided by SeaText.
2. Go to your Admin Dashboard.
3. Select Settings.
4. Select the Code & Analytics tab.
5. In the Site Footer Code field, paste the code.
6. Click Save.

Step 2: Link SeaText to your website

1. Use the form to add your website address in the format www.example.com.
2. Visit your website once and stay on the page for at least 40 seconds. This activates the AI and links it to your account.
3. Wait at least five minutes until you see your website name next to the SEATEXT logo at the top of the page.
4. If you do not see it after 10 minutes, contact SeaText support immediately.

Step 3: Activate the AI

Go to the Main AI Hub to activate the AI you need on your preferred pages. Click Configuration to adjust the AI parameters. Use Variants Edit to review, create, or edit translations and variants.

What to check before you paste the code

Before you start, confirm these things:

• Your Thinkific plan is paid, not free.
• You have admin access to settings.
• You have the latest code from SeaText.
• You know your website address in the format www.example.com.
• You can visit the site for at least 40 seconds after installation.
• You have 5 to 10 minutes to confirm the connection.

If you are using a custom domain, use that domain when linking SeaText to your account.

Key facts: SeaText + Thinkific

Limitations and when this advice does not apply

This advice applies to the standard SeaText setup on Thinkific using the Site Footer Code field. Thinkific may offer other code injection points, but SeaText's integration steps specifically use this field.

If you are on the free Thinkific plan, this guide does not apply until you upgrade. The code will not work without custom code access.

If Thinkific changes its settings menu, field names, or plan rules, follow Thinkific's current documentation. The core idea stays the same: SeaText needs a place to run its JavaScript across your site.

This article does not cover SeaText's other installation methods or its own pricing tiers. Those are separate decisions.

Terms you may see

• Code injection: Adding your own code to a website so it runs on one or more pages.
• JavaScript snippet: A short piece of JavaScript code. SeaText provides this for you.
• Site Footer Code: Thinkific's setting where you paste code that runs on most pages.
• Main AI Hub: SeaText's control panel for activating and managing AI agents.

Frequently asked questions

Does SeaText work on Thinkific's free plan?

No. The free plan does not allow custom code injection, so SeaText cannot be installed. You need a paid Thinkific plan.

Where exactly do I paste the SeaText code in Thinkific?

Go to Admin Dashboard, select Settings, then Code & Analytics. Paste the code into the Site Footer Code field and click Save.

How long does it take for SeaText to connect to Thinkific?

Adding the code takes under a minute. Then visit your site and stay for at least 40 seconds. Wait at least five minutes for the connection to appear.

What should I do if my site does not appear after 10 minutes?

Contact SeaText support immediately. The delay could mean the code was not installed correctly.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. SeaText's Thinkific setup is copy and paste. You do not need to write or edit the JavaScript yourself.

What happens after SeaText connects to Thinkific?

Open the Main AI Hub, activate the AI agents you want on your pages, and use Configuration to adjust how they work.

If every paid plan allows custom code, how do I choose?

Compare course limits, student limits, quizzes, certificates, and price. SeaText is not the deciding factor between paid plans.
