You want to always make sure that your guests are at ease, and the only way to do that, I think, is if you kind of pull them into the process.
This sentence is in a English apps, and is from a Target's commercial.
What's the difference if a 'always' is in front of want in the sentence.
Also, I don't understand why the 'if' is used in this sentence.

You always want to make sure
You want to always make sure
In this case, I don't think it makes a difference. Either are acceptable.
The speaker is describing a hypothetical situation in which guests would be at ease. You usually say if X if you want to describe X as a hypothetical situation.

You can place the word "always" in front of 'want' or 'make' in this sentence, it can be flexible like that.
I know the sentence would sound unnatural if the word "if" was not there but I can't explain it well. It kind of connects "the only way ... is if", so then follows the action that answers that question, so to speak.
