The Reviews Gallery Grid widget allows you to display reviews in a flexible grid layout, including photo, video, and text reviews. Unlike carousels, this widget shows all eligible reviews and is designed to create a highly visual showcase of user-generated content (UGC).
You can install it on:
Home page
Landing pages
Product pages
Collection pages
Cart page
Any page supported by your theme editor
This helps you turn customer reviews into engaging social proof across your store.
Considerations
Reviews without content (no text, title, or media) are automatically excluded.
The widget displays all eligible reviews (not limited to 30, as in carousels).
This widget is not SEO-focused. It is designed for visual engagement.
Product name display is not available in this version.
On mobile devices, there is no hover interaction.
Text is truncated automatically to prevent layout issues.
Multi-language widget title translation is supported.
How it works
The widget displays reviews in a grid format (rows and columns).
It can show photo, video, and text reviews.
Reviews without content (no text, title, or media) are automatically excluded.
If a review contains multiple media files, each media item may appear as a separate card.
Clicking a review card opens a Lightbox with the full review content.
