The Trust Badge displays your store's verified review score as a compact, branded badge — helping shoppers see at a glance that your store has real, verified customer reviews. When clicked, it opens a detailed modal with your rating distribution, AI-generated review summary, sentiment tags, and store features.
How it works
Once you enable the Trust Badge and have at least 1 verified published review:
The badge displays on your storefront, showing your store's verified average rating, verified review count, and total review count.
When a shopper clicks the badge, a modal opens with detailed trust information about your store, including:
Your store name and logo
Verified average rating and verified review count
Rating distribution (1–5 stars) based on verified reviews
AI-generated review summary (if available)
Sentiment keywords (e.g. Quality 👍, Shipping 👍)
A photo gallery of customer-uploaded media from verified reviews (if available)
Supported pages
The Trust Badge can be added in the following pages in a 2.0 theme:
Home page
Product page
Collection page
Collection list page
Page
Blog
Article
Cart page
Considerations
The Trust Badge requires at least 1 verified published review to be enabled. If your store has no verified reviews, you won't be able to turn it on.
The verified average rating and review count are calculated automatically from your verified published reviews and cannot be edited.
The AI review summary and sentiment tags displayed in the Trust Badge modal are the same store-level summaries used by other widgets. They are generated automatically and refreshed every 30 days.
