Available on the Free plan
You can add Judge.me widgets to your Cart Drawer, the slide-out panel that opens when a customer adds a product to their cart without leaving the page.
Showing reviews in the Cart Drawer helps build trust at a key purchase moment. Shoppers can see social proof for the products in their cart before they continue to checkout.
You can display these Judge.me widgets in the Cart Drawer:
Review Widget — shows a curated selection of reviews for the products in the cart
Cards Carousel — shows reviews in a card-style sliding format
Testimonials Carousel — shows reviews in a quote-style sliding format
Videos Carousel — shows video and photo reviews in a media-first sliding format
Reviews Grid Widget — shows reviews in a flexible grid layout, including photo, video, and text reviews.
How it works
When a customer opens the cart drawer, the Judge.me app embed detects the cart drawer and displays the enabled widget inside it.
The cart drawer widget shows reviews for the products currently in the customer’s cart. For example, if a customer adds a shirt and a pair of shoes to their cart, the widget can show reviews related to those cart products.
Considerations
Cart drawer widgets require a Shopify Online Store 2.0 theme.
The cart drawer must be a native theme feature (e.g. Dawn, Horizon). Custom or third-party cart drawers may not be detected.
Cart drawer widget is enabled as an App embed, not as as individual app blocks on a Shopify template.
To show reviews on the full cart page instead, see Adding Judge.me widgets on your cart page.
